So, while all of you were tucked nicely in bed Tesday Night....

[Anthony N]

This is what I got to do:

Before you all scream mg: and wondering if I was dieing... No that's not the case. I was at a sleep study. This is the "hook up". The electrodes, are more annoying than anything but they don't hurt. So yeah, that's what I got to do Tuesday night.

 

[Tekno Venus]

How the heck are you meant to actually go to sleep with those thing on?! :)

 

[Corrine]

Yipes! I hope you were able to get some rest with all those wires. The important aspect is that the results of the test provide the information the doctors are after.

 

[Anthony N]

Stephen, you kinda have to train yourself to know they are there. About after an hour the only sensors I did feel were the Leg ones, my chin, and the nose/mouth sensor.

As Corrine said, ALL vitals are monitored.

Corrine, It was a hard night, the technician said I did REM a lot. Didn't feel like it... Felt like I was up a lot...

I sent a picture to my lover, and it scared them... Not my intentions. Just wanted them to understand this is what I went through.

To be honest.... It felt like I came out of a horror movie when I seen my picture, when I had more time.

As to what it actually felt like. I could see why my lover was scared. It felt like I was a puppet, or like some evil scientific experiment.

 

[Laxer]

If playing puppet is what it takes to get a proper diagnosis I see no harm...

Hope everything went well for you!

Keep us updated

 

[Anthony N]

I will. All of you here I feel are more like extended family.

 

[joeten]

Geez I will keep with the weird sleep pattern I have not a chance of me keeping that stuff on it would irritate me no end hope it helps you

 

[Anthony N]

Joeten, this study was ordered for what happens in my sleep. Not nessarally the sleep pattern it self.

Yea, it wasn't the most comfortable thing to sleep through. But it'll help with a lot of issues that I have when I'm awake and in my deep sleep.

 

[joeten]

I hope it does help I just could not do it but we do what we have to so never say never (boy you don't want be in my head awake or sleeping trust me)

 

[GZ]

Wow... Now I know what to expect when I go in for mine... My doc thinks I have sleep apnea...

Hope it was worth it... It sucks to have to go through all of that just for them to say "nothing's wrong"...

Although, that is the response you want to hear the most...

 

[Anthony N]

It honestly scares me looking at that picture now... But then again, it reminds me this is for the better to find a solution and find out what's truly going on with me.

GZ, it's a different experience for everyone. But for as much as they were testing. If anything we will find something.

 

[Corrine]

Since they'll be testing for something different, perhaps GZ will have different "wiring".

Anthony, was there any indication from your Doctor about how long it will take to analyze and get back to you with the test results?

 

[GZ]

Well... I didn't come with a manual, and I have been told I have "crossed wiring" so I hope they get it right!:hysterical:

 

[Corrine]

I think "crossed wiring" is better than the "loose wire" I've been trying to help elsewhere. It is the very first time I have ever been tempted to suggest calling the Geek Squad or pulling the plug, packing up the machine and taking it to a repair shop.

 

[Anthony N]

I see.

I do want to thank you for all your support.
