One more thing .... ask your primary right away to have you do a sleep study. That much waking suggests obstructive and/or central apnea, and chronic sleep deprivation (not hitting right stages etc.) can do a lot of damage to your organs including your brain.
I just had one done -- I was doing the same thing all night. It was a protective mechanism because when I did sleep my oxygen sat level would drop like a rock.
Keep us posted!
Thanks you so very much for your advice and concerns. I'm doing ok. Just taking it one day at a time. I have been busy making a few doctor appointments. I see my PC this week and a neurlogiat ,ENT Dr. and a psych next week. I needed a little something for the mind. Lol.but most important, thank you all. Im happy to be here. Hope i can be of as much help to someone as all of you have been to me.HAPPY NEW YEAR.
We're glad to have you, we are a group that shares, good and bad, happy and sad.
Thank you. I'll do just that. And I'm happy to be here. It kind of give me someone to talk to about all of this.
Hi, tell your doctor what you have just said. A doctor will more likely do blood tests and possibly refer you to a neurologist. The first step is going to your doctor.
Welcome to our corner. I'd tell him just what you've told us. MS usually doesn't affect both sides.
Also have chonic pain and sciatica on right side.
I wish that you weren't suffering.
