Because I seem to have sort of a mixed bag of symptoms, the doc is not sure yet if I will ultimately end up on meds or the CPAP (or both!). He warned me that it may take some time--months, even--to figure out the right solution, but I am determined to stick it out and try whatever it takes because it seems like it will be SOOO worth it.</p>MariaH commented on 'Quarter-Life Status Report: Minor Career Switch, Major Sleeping Disorders'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b77769e200e5523db28f88332008-05-19T17:11:33Z2008-08-29T00:09:12ZMariaHOkay, I have lurked on your blog for, like, 8 months.

<p>I am a fellow sleep disorder sufferer (is that even a word?) - idiopathic hypersomnia. In layman's terms it means during my sleep study I came out of REM sleep every 5 minutes and they have no clue why. A couple of times it might have been sleep apnea and a couple of times it might have been RLS (which I can now abbreviate since we have all those great drug ads now). I was glad to find out I wasn't just a big lazy lump too! Since this was several years ago and the sleep drugs weren't nearly as popular as they are now, my doctor prescribed an anti-depressant that is at a much lower dosage than they ever prescribe and it gets me into REM sleep enough to feel rested. Thank god, because I would hate to be caught on police dashcam in my nightie chowing down on a bologna sandwich in the middle of the night! I hope you find a good solution, because it is amazing how much better I feel now and how much more I get done. And when I am being lazy I just lie and say I forgot to take my pill before I went to bed and didn't get a good night's sleep - ha!</p>KELLYq commented on 'Quarter-Life Status Report: Minor Career Switch, Major Sleeping Disorders'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b77769e200e5524e99ae88342008-05-18T18:41:22Z2008-08-27T10:15:53ZKELLYqDude what's so hilarious is when you type CPAP my brain reads it as CRAP first.

Imagining you sleeping with a CRAP machine is really, really funny. </p>Paul commented on 'Quarter-Life Status Report: Minor Career Switch, Major Sleeping Disorders'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b77769e200e552469c5088342008-05-17T11:35:27Z2008-08-27T10:25:26ZPaulhttp://wwwtechno4us.spaces.live.com/I think your case will be a good episode of house m.d it´s a joke don´t care about this and...<p>I think your case will be a good episode of house m.d</p>
