No, darlindeb, I don't think you're hearing me...my problem isn't that I wake up, it's that I don't fall asleep in the first place because of the PN/foot pain. You can't be experiencing sleep apnea while you're awake, right? Once I do fall asleep I don't have any trouble. There is nothing at all to suggest that I have any breathing problems at all. (I don't know if this is the same as the oxygen level that you're talking about, but if it's the kind they measure with the finger clippy thing, I often read at 100%.)

But I do realize that you're trying to help, and I thank you for that. And I'm glad that the no-dairy diet and the melatonin help for you.
