True. Maybe I am jumping to conclusions. She really needs to get a copy of the test results, not notes scribbled down. If her doctor won't interpret them, then she should find somebody that will. Preferably a sleep doctor and not some tired apnea patient. ;-)

But she didn't show signs of PLMS. Plus, if she gets the titration and she doesn't have arousals, it may be safe to assume it was from apnea/sdb.

It still sounded to me like she had a 'little' case of apnea and they weren't offering CPAP because she didn't hit the 'magic number', not because they weren't sure of what was wrong.
