> I agree, the only course left for me (and one I should have done a long time ago) is to have a sleep study done. I have mentioned this desire of mine previously to at least two pdocs I have been to see. However, for some reason this issue has always been a bit of a mute point and none of them have given it any serious consideration. Eventually I just forget about it and moved along to the next med which might suppress the misery for a night. Thank you everyone, I have found renewed focus in this predicament of mine! I live in Sweden and I do not know how lightly they dish out sleep studies. Just out of interest, for those who have had a sleep study done, how have you gone about getting one?
ksyzysk: I live in Sweden too! I will have to let you know... I was signed up for a study of my sleep but unlucky me I was unable to attend because I had moved far away. I lived in Stockholm before and I THINK that most sleeping-studies are done there. There was a 2-3year (!) wait (or even longer... bad track of time here) so I had a really bad luck that just after ONE month after I had moved I got the letter calling me to the study. So annoying.. I would have really liked to know if there was something abnormal going on in my sleep.I suggest, if you live near a bit city, that your doctor can look up where they conduct these studies and write "en remiss" to such a place. My guess is that it is conducted in the Stockholm-region perhaps with Uppsala too. There IS a LONG wait... but hey, better to be on a list knowing that sooner or later they will call you than not being on such a list at all!
