If you can accomplish all you've accomplished having sleep apnea, I can't even fathom what would have gotten done if you didn't have it!!! <br />Even though it's not a funny subject, your post did make me laugh in the way you described the testing.

I never sleep well when I'm away from home either, so I should have known this wasn't going to be easy. I worked outside all day long in the cold hoping the fresh air would make me extra-tired, but I guess not.

I haven't been by lately, as I am be...Hi Karen,<br />I haven't been by lately, as I am behind in my blog reading, as always. <br /><br />I can relate to you wanting a diagnosis. <br /><br />I had a sleep study done in 1995, because I was tired all the time. They found bruxism, which didn't cause problems until this summer. I have a night guard that seems to be helping. That's good, because it cost a lot of money. They also found something they called a name I can't remember. They said I kick my legs in the night. Over the years, that has gotten worse, and it wakes me up most mornings, and sometimes in the night. When I first started hearing about restless leg syndrome, I looked it up, and found something else, called periodic limb movement disorder, PLMD that I decided I have. <br /><br />When I got a copy of the sleep study, and looked up what they said I had, I found it's what PLMD used to be called, so I was glad that I had actually been diagnosed with it. I wasn't "imagining" it or making something up.<br /><br />It sounds like you have restless leg syndrome, since your legs hurt, but one can have that and PLMD at the same time. When I'm first going to sleep, I jerk some. It's not always just my legs, either. Does that ever happen to you?<br /><br />I hope you get some relief for the snoring and your other health problems improve.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942892890615806086.post-62554768682778068392010-11-30T18:40:38.424-06:002010-11-30T18:40:38.424-06:00Oh Boy, Karen, you have been through a lot!

It's progress! I have always wondered how on earth people who go in for sleep studies are supposed to sleep with all that stuff stuck all over them! I know I would have trouble relaxing. I often have a hard time sleeping the first night in a strange place.<br /><br />I hope there is some treatment that will help.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.com
