Update~~I AM NOT ASKING FOR ADVICE

I want this post simple. I do believe that I need to update the wonderful people that prayed for me and gave good suggestions about my sleep issue. I am writing to you. Not the others.......I did my sleep study last Thursday. I got there at 8pm.........and they started hooking me up 8:10 right as PERSON OF INTEREST came on........I know.........they did not have the belts that fit me so they doubled the belts around my chest and stomach.........sitting or standing I was having trouble breathing........

They put so he said 15 wires on my head per the tech .........face..forehead..........temples..........chest, legs, sides and back..........then I went back to the room............waited until 10 pm I was on the telephone and watching tv.........came in lights out and tv off.......they took the remote LOL.........and I turned my telephone off. Took the Ambien and it took 1 1/2 hours for the Ambien to take effect and they woke me up at 4:40 am...........I left around 6 am............I did not get much sleep but that Ambien was wonderful to wake up to.

He said he could not tell me all but noticed no sleep apnea {I knew that} and no restless legs and I knew that too.

I called the sleep study Tuesday and they told me to come in for my results and then they called back and said wait until I see the Neuro doctor March 5..........they know that I am getting off my Trazadone. They also know as does my family doctor and PM&R doctor knows that I have no doctor during this time to give me medication or take me off Trazadone but they all know that I was going to tapper down. I took my last Trazadone Wednesday night.........last night I slept 3 hours and woke up at 6:30am. The family doctor does not want to help me because of my head injury and the lady with the neuro said she would help me with my sleeping meds. I AM TRYING TO TAKE NOTHING. I did talk with a brain injury survivor of 20 years and it was so nice talking to him and he uses SomaTomx for sleep. He said it is natural so I am going to do research on that product. Again, I am taking nothing at this time and I hope that I can sleep without any prescribed medication. Time will tell.

This sleep clinic does not have the equipment to help me with Insomnia........they kept saying there were no tests to help me but a log but they lied..........there are things but they are not equiped to help me.

I am very weak today.........and if I feel sleepy I am not going to take a nap.

SO thank you for your time..........this is just an update.........I don't feel like going over this all day.........I do feel like there are a few that are interested in really knowing what has happened.

I went to a salon around 9 am to get the mess out of my hair.........we oiled it down with coconut oil ..........and Davines oil I got for free............my head was so sore.
