... this one is a lung specialist -- which is, it seems, how I'll be able to access a sleep study.
There is unofficial agreement that I have sleep apnea. The solution is a machine that pushes air into my lungs as I sleep. The result is that I actually get to sleep the whole night instead of waking to start breathing again...
.... 'cuz the running theory is that my seizure on Friday was due to low oxygen -- my anti-nausea drugs, plus Tylenol PM, put me too deeply asleep to wake when I didn't have enough oxygen...
The result was a trip to the ER.
So, the news that I got in quickly so far was welcome... who knows what will happen next--- but, this is a good thing.
and -- since I have no sense, we stayed up too late watching Deadliest Catch -- so I'll need a nap this afternoon.
