Side effects that bother me the most effect my sleep patterns. I am wide awake at night, but sleepy in the daytime. I have been talking to a sleep specialist who thinks I have obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep disorder(?). Will do overnight sleep study at Mayo sleep lab in mid May to confirm.
Also, restarted individual therapy with psychiatrist. Feeling some better emotionally, but still a deep sense of loneliness. May have more to do with recent retirement, isolation due to COVID and distance from family than my lung transplant. I am connecting with transplant community in Georgia which helps. I will keep you updated on my progress.
