Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Back from my sleep study

Well I had it done and all in all it wasn't to bad. I got there at 10p and the person who was supposed to be there at 9p had just shown up and they had to hook her up first. She threw a tantrum about having the electrodes and paste in her hair b/c she had just had it done. She went on and on and insulted the doctor numerous times. So by the time they got her done and me hooked up and into bed it was 12:00 am and then it took me a half an hour to get to sleep and then they woke me up at 5:30am. I woke up for 10-15 seconds about 4 times during the night rolling over and then realizing where I was and all the stuff hooked to me.

So I probably got 5 hours of interrupted sleep and they can't tell me anything. The tech said he saw 2-3 things of concern during the night but nothing to serious like sleep apnea and that my doctor would have the results in 3-5 days. So I am at work this morning and staying awake only by the Provigil. I do not feel hopeful b/c I think that I just am a light sleeper due to the fibro and they can't "cure" that. I know it sounds weird but I was hoping it was sleep apnea and that they could give me one of those CPAP masks and I could get some SLEEP.

Thanks for all the support you guys have given me and I will keep you updated when I get the official results.
