1st sleep study done!!

I have my first sleep study done and I may not need the second one which is good!! I have to redo my pysch eval due to the fact I did not go with RI hospital docs so now i am delayed and that is my last test I have to do!!!!! I will be switching to Dr.Ryder though because Dr.Roye os booking till the end of November already. Talk to ya all soon!! Shannon

Hi Shannon, Congrats on getting the sleep study out of the way! How was it? I'm worried when the time comes I won't be able to sleep there. Where did you have it done? I am going through Dr. Ryder, too, but don't have my first appt until next week (and that will be with Helen, I believe). Have you met Dr. Ryder yet? And who are going to use for your psych eval? Does Dr. Ryder use the same ppl as Dr. Roye? I've heard some not so great things about a couple of them (based on ppls experiences posted here on the board) and am just wondering. Thanks and good luck with finishing everything! Trace

Hi trace- The sleep study was not that bad as it seemed. The hardest part was the wires and trying to sleep with them on. I woke up about four times throughout the night. I went to the East Providence sleep center. The staff was wonderful there!! I am just waiting for a call to see if I need the second study. I have not switched from D.Roye to Ryder yet but i will be once all my testing is done. Dr.ryder uses the same people. I have my pysch eval with Dr. Zimmerman which I know he is tough. All the 4 pysch doctors are really tough which really sucks for all of us!! Well I hope I helped u out a little bit and hope to meet u next Wednesday!! shannon

Trace: ask your sleep doc for ambien, that was my savior, I would not have been able to sleep without it! look forward to meeting you! Kristin

Cool Shannon At least you are one step closer huh!!!! Glad to see you so positive and cheery See you next week, Elisa

Elisa- I cannot wait to be done with all the test and just get a date!!! I have to stay positive because if I get negative the time i am waiting for surgery is going to go by very slowly!! This is a very long process and learned my lesson the follow all directions when they are given t o me because nI would have been done but I have to take the psch eval over again due to the fact I did not go to the doctors I was supposed to go too!!! See u next Wednesday!! wave Shannon

Shannon: I am so happy for you and I am sure that you will love Dr. Ryder, I just saw her the other day and she said she has had no complaints so far from any of her patients! She is the best!! Kristin

Kristen-That is so cool to hear!! I just got a call back today from the sleep center and found out I do have sleep apnea so I have to go for the second study. I knew it anyway!! Then I have my redo of the psych eval and then bloodwork and I am on my way. By any chance do u know what month dr.ryder is booking into right now? Shannon

Shannon: I am not sure when she is booking, but I was booked about a month out. Teri was 2 weeks! I do know however that it well be a whole lot better than November!! Kristin
