Guest guest Posted December 13, 2000 Report Share Posted December 13, 2000 Thanks to everybody who gave advice to me for my sister Celeste concerning constipation. As it turns out we went to the drug store and got some Colace and for now it seems to be really helping. When we discussed the sleeping problems with the neuro he didn't seen too concerned. Although he did try to encourage us to go back to the Mayo Clinic. The Neuro is a very good doctor and we like him LOADS. However, he says his Neuro group does not have vast experience treating people with MSA. We told him about this web site and he was glad to know of it. When we mentioned the possiblity of sleep apnea he said he thought if that was a real problem Celeste would be having trouble staying awake during the days. She only sleeps a few hours at a time but claims she feels fairly rested when she rises at 4:00 AM most mornings. She uses the Restoril and it helps some. She claims she wakes up kind of having dreams that someone is in the room or breaking into the house. She says she wakes up swinging. Could this just be because she is not sleeping soundly? Some of you recommended a sleep specialist. Do you still think she could have sleep apnea since she is sleeping so little even though not sleepy during the day. We live in Indiana and really don't want to have to travel to Minnesota. Any thoughts out there in cyberspace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
