Sleep study...

So I called this morning to try and see if the dr had read my results and they said that it could take up to 2 wks.... Are you serious..... How hard is it to decide you have sleep apnea or not.... Gesh... I want to get this moving already....  How long did it take for you guys?

I took a look at my medical claims. I had the sleep study on 1/9/08. My return visit with the doctor was on 1/30/08 with the results. On 2/20/08 I received my CPAP machine- which was so delayed because I needed to take time off from work to get to the medical supply place and be fit for a mask and get instructions.

In the perfect world businesses and doctors would be open more than m-f, 8-5 to accomodate working folks.

How frustrating!!! Hang in there you will get those results sooner than you think!!!

I know 2 weeks sounds like a long time, but it will fly by,  you won't hear from your insurance or Dr's office approval till at least then anyway, believe me it will be soon and fly by.  keep busy... I can't tell you how long it took, I didn't have to have the test,  don't even know why I didn't, but glad I didnt'...

I think I was a little sooner than 2 weeks as I had to have a SECOND sleep study to titrate the Cpap!  Then it took a couple more weeks to get the machine.....equipment companies....AARRGGHHH!     Hang in there!  I don't think that will hold you up too much.  Once you get the results, hopefully, if you've done everything else, maybe they can get you submitted even if you don't have your cpap yet...if they know you're working on it, you know what I mean?    Hope you get results quick though!  Good luck......Keep us posted!   Ruth

Thanks.... Well like i said before they didnt have to hook me up to the machine in the middle of the night so if i do have it ,  maybe its just no thtat bad...  Also the office is only booked to the end of october... so I still have some time... (thank god)

I knew that night because they came in and put me on a machine because I stopped breathing too many times, it took a few weeks to get my machine but now that I have it I sleep much better and no more snoring.

OMG..... The lady just called me back and said that it could take 3 to 4 Weeks before someone can read it....   OMG  now I feel aweful....  I am so depressed...  

Hang in ther Jessica. I had my sleep study done in Portland cause Lewiston was full and not taking new patients. I knew the next morning. I am so sorry you are having to go through this crap the waiting is bad enough. Hugs

I know this whole process can totally try your patience. I don't like to wait either - you will get there and after you are done - this will seem like no time.
