A Question For People With MS

[Steven Y Park, MD]

Dr. Park here from the sleep-breathing forum. I answered Laura's question about sleep and MS here:

I'm taking an informal poll for people with known MS:

What's your favorite sleep position? Is it your back, side or stomach?

After I tally up the results, I'll give you the reason that I ask.

I have a difficult time staying asleep at night I start on my back and switch from side to side thru the night because of spasms and numbness. I also have to get up 2-3 times a night to go to the bathroom.

I was wandering back through some of Dr. Park's information and came across this wonderful discussion.

Dr Park, I just completed my sleep study today - results aren't in but the tech did tell me I have apnea - I figure it is a good time to ask if anyone else has undergone a sleep study since we kicked the idea around back in February? And if so, what were the results?

tired, but still awake,
