I pushed the GP hard as I threw all the facts feeling and hiccups associated with my sleep problem,then in turn GP pushed the sleep specalist.

But As my health detoriated due to sleep depriavation and nearly had some close calls. With the sleep specialitst I didn't hold back. I threw all the symtoms and feeling I being getting from sleep and it was getting unbearable.

I started pushing them as thou my life depended on it! As result I got placed on ugrent list to be seen for sleep study.

Then I saw ENT and confired 6-12 mth wait for a op, I wasn't going to wait that long!!!SO I got my GP to speak ENT dr and the other results

Plus my GP had sleep specaialist who look at my sleep speak ENT dr. too! They both tried to bump me up the list a bit.

As it was markly effect my sleep and health, and become debliateing to point fo having accidents doing everyday tasks ie: walking in the street I was going down healthwise from fatugie and depressed as well, As result I was bumped from semi ugrent to ugrent.

See them 2 wks from now. On CPAP to break the fatugie,headache sleep apnea cycle.
