but it's one of the main complaints of fibro patients

and chronic pain patients. And it's very real.

Judy from Mo.

Hi Judy

It might be a good idea for you to have a sleep study

done. Since sleep problems are common with

fibromyalgia, this might be worth looking into.

My husband, just had the basic night study. He had an

oxygen saturation monitor attached to his finger over

night.

The results showed that a large portion of the night,

his saturation dropped as low as 84%, and a tiny bit

of the time it was between 70-83%.

He just started on oxygen at night, until a full sleep

study can be done. Hopefully, that will be very soon,

because I believe he will need a CPap machine.

He wants to have it done at the VA hospital, to save

money, but we do have private insurance, but would

need to pay the deductable.

He was having increasing difficulty concentrating, and

other problems. We thought it was his heart problems,

but it looks like respiratory.

If we don't have a date asap, I'm just going to

arrange for it to be done here in town. I will just

tell him when the appointment is. <g>
