The doctor's office called and informed me that everything looked great from the sleep study. I told them that I wanted to do another one. I told them that things did not go smoothly that night. The nurse informed me that she would talk to my doctor.
Phone rings...... "Ms. Neal? I spoke with Dr. Blount and he agrees with the sleep study. He says that the study shows you slept 84% of the night. Therefor he isn't willing to sign off on another sleep study."
SAY WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
I was pissed. SOMETHING IS WRONG!!!!!! I want a second test and a second opinion. I went to my health insurance's website and looked up Primary Care Physicians that were accepting new patients. I made appointment with one. I then decided that I wasn't done complaining to my doctor. I called the nurse back and asked why the doctor wasn't willing to help. She said that if I was still worried about possible narcolepsy then he may be willing to let me do a sleep latency test. So the test I just did didn't look for that???? Nope.
Let me just say that the "diagnosis" of a form of narcolepsy was just something I ran across by doing my own research. I've done a lot of research over the years and I have only seen it mentioned one time. It mean it's a possibility I'm willing to explore. I want answers.
I really wish doctor's tried to help nowadays. I wish they were curious as to what your problems are and want to find the answers. (I do have a doctor like that.....she's my gastroenterologist and she is AMAZING!!!)
So that's where we are. I'm waiting for the appointment to be made for the sleep latency test.
