Newly Diagnosed

Posted by Joy on April 04, 2001 at 10:38:03:

When I read Cat's posting, I thought it was something I had written. The symptoms described me so well. I have been diagnosed as having sleep apnea 2 weeks ago and am going for my sleep study tomorrow, April 5. I'm extremely nervous about this whole thing. Not to mention depressed, miserable, anxious, etc. Just sitting here at work reading all the different postings makes me want to cry. I don't recognize this person that I have become, which makes me feel even worse. My husband is being very supportive and comforting, even though he has many of his own health concerns.
This is a wonderful site; I've picked up much information in the last few days (a little confusing for me at this early stage). The support that you all show each other is very heartening to see. I know that there is help available to me, and people to hear me when I'm feeling so low.
I will let you know how I make out with my sleep study and the follow up with my wonderful doctor. Yes, my doctor is great (the only benefit to this whole thing was finding her).
