<p>Last night l had to go for a sleep study. I had just had an eeg a week ago. And l told the tech l hope they see l just need a new cpac machine. Well my doctor comes from Turkey very sweet doctor. I trusted her and we bonded the first time l met her. I know she felt a little intimidated coming to a new country leaving her family behind because l moved from another state. So we got along very well. She's very thorough and she concerned about her patients. Her reviews are between 4.5 -5 . Now l know everyone one has different reviews positive and negative. But when l go to the doctors l pray first and ask God to show me about them. And when l talk them l can see or feel something. That the Holy Spirit and God shows me if they are right for me or not. Now sometimes it might take a second visit because doctors have issues too but l will know. And that is also with medications and know when you are sick even though they may not God always has the answer. So l was hooked up and she order the test like an internal medicine doctor. The tech said she well let you know about your entire body how it's running. I never had a sleep study like this before and l had lots of test. And at many hospitals, l really feel like l am the states Ginny pig. But like l say if l can help somebody as l travel along then my living will not be in vain. We should all have that kind of attitude even when we are wrong. Wouldn't that make a difference that's why l enjoyed the Mayo clinic because you see a difference. Not all doctors has the same desire for the patient but as a team you can always weed out some and still get a fantastic results. Now my family wants me to go to John Hopkins but l tell them l have a doctor at the mayo clinic. I wonder if he ever goes there since they are now working together with Autoimmune diseases? And now the support group are getting together. Well l am believing a good report because I already been through the battle and now the battle is won. When we were driving home l was listening to Fred Hammond Lovely Day and that ot certainly was. Have a Blessed Sunday and enjoy the Superbowl!!!</p>

Hi Lisa @techi, I'm happy to hear you have a doctor that listens and you like. Did they give you the results of the sleep study yet? I started using a CPAP machine after I had a sleep study at Mayo Clinic last July. I'm still getting used to it but I know it can take a long time and one just has to be patient and keep working at it.

Hope you have a great day.

Hi, Lisa @techi - since you were talking about a sleep study for sleep apnea, I've moved your post here to this discussion on that exact topic.

Hoping that @astaingegerdm @barb2025 @healingone @happyat76 will have some input for you on their experiences with sleep studies.

So, techi, will you share more about the reason you had the sleep study? You already had a sleep apnea diagnosis and also a CPAP, correct? If so, was it not working well anymore for you?
