Sleep!!!!

Posted by Billy Boy on March 24, 1998 at 03:38:02:

51 y.o. with sleep disorder of about 9 years. It's gotten worse in the past year. I have HYPOthyroidism & moderate Hi Bld Press, both treated with meds. Bld chemistry now normal. I use a "Snore Gard" oral appliance, but for the past year even with this thing I snore like a train. I awake at ~5:00 am & can not go back to sleep & I crash around 7:00 pm. I awake with a mild headache 2 or 3 times a week. If I do sleep later on the weekend, the headache is worse. I am sleepy all the time & awake more tired than when I went to sleep. I get up to urinate about every other hour at night!!! I have minor depression and take ZOLOFT (100mg/day) and that has been a 200% life style change for the best. Symptoms continue, but space is limited. What do you people think. Oh!, my Dr. & I are trying to get insurance Co. approval for a Sleep Lab, but I think that's going to be an uphill battle.
