Sooo... today I had an appointment at the Alternatives to CPAP clinic.
It started off with a head CT scan to evaluate the soft tissues in my throat for possible surgery.
Then I talked with a neurologist about my symptoms - for an hour or so.
Then onto an ENT doc, who sprayed some kinda numbing agent into my nose and then stuck a scope down it to see my vocal cords and throat features. THAT was NOT FUN, just sayin. And then she made me watch the video from it; that was oogie.
Finally, another talk with the neurologist, and his attending physician. She felt that I may have narcolepsy in addition to sleep apnea. I have to see my shrink and see if I can go off the antidepressants for a couple weeks so that I can do another sleep study followed by a nap study for narcolepsy. Apparently zoloft renders their observations inconclusive.
All in all, I guess I'll do whatever it takes to stop me from being so tired I fall asleep while driving nearly every day. Pleh.
After the 4 hours at the hospital, I got the pleasure of going to physical therapy. I'm now physically as well as emotionally tired & sore.
Oh, and while you're here:
I caved and joined an auction for the first time in months... Come rate the pic if nothing else, pweeeaassseeee :) I'm dead last, as usual, and the most rates gets a boomerang.
