I did a dumb thing

Posted by reatha on December 11, 2000 at 19:24:58:

Hey gang. Just another comment/ question. My sleep test was done after only a week of being of meds and caffiene (in which I consume WAY too much of). Did you all find that this would make a significant difference in the outcome of the resutlts? Someone told me it should have been done after no less than three weeks of no med and no caffiene. Also, persuing have a spinal tap fluid drawing. Is this a definite diagnosis of Narc. if the fluid is insufficient levels of orexin??? Thanks for your help. Reatha
