I'm going for a second sleep study on Sat.
I saw my primary care doctor on Monday for the follow-up after the sleep study I had in May. They noted a couple of things in the report, and therefore I have to repeat the ordeal again, but they now want to add in the CPAP thingy.
They noticed that I do have some mild PLMD, which I told them I knew about along witht the vivid and bizarre dreams. Heck I end up with blankets on the floor and the sheet wrapped around my feet or chinon most nights, or worse a punched lip or nose. If this is mild, I'd hate to see major!
The other thing they noticed is a drop in my oxygen level during my sleep to about 80% on three occasions during the sleep study, thus the need for the CPAP test.
What is interesting is the drop concided with a bout of severe dystonia in my left foot (where the toes like to curl inward), and I had some terrible stiffness starting in. So I'm wondering this is medication or a dose-related problem that needs adjument again.
