Default Results of sleep study...sheesh!
Saw my neuro this morning. I called yesterday about the continued leg pain and how I can't sleep and am having difficulty functioning.
He pulled out my sleep study I had at the end of Oct. I had 198 apnea incidences over the course of 7 hrs... He said, "If I had that amount, I would warn anyone near me, 'cause I'd probably be irritated enough to strangle them!"
He showed my DH and me my negative numbers associated with not getting deep restorative sleep, and explained how the CPAP works. So I have to schedule another study with the machine.
All in all it was a most informative appt...I never had a neuro explain in detail a test like he did...he's awesome!
