Joy,

I was the same as you. In fact I dreamt during the night of my sleep study that this would be like all the other tests I have had and there would be nothing wrong with me.

When they called and gave me the results of my test, I started crying. The nurse said I am so sorry, and I said no that's not why I am crying...it's just someone finally found something that was wrong with me!!! I failed a test for the first time in my life.

I too have all the same symptoms as you, fibro, IBS, high blood pressure, constant fatigue, no energy. Was diagnosed with depression for years and years. Thyroid test was negative, colonoscopy, endoscopy, blood tests, everything came back within normal parameters.

Please keep us informed on your results. I have been on CPAP for 5 nights, and I can already tell the difference.

Hang in there!
