So..had sleep study/new rheumy dr appt
So, I did my sleep study last night...won't have results for a couple of days. I did manage to sleep some so hopefully they'll be able to tell me if I have any issues or not.
I had an appt with a new rheumatologist today. He confirmed two things: over 50% of his patients with fibro also have sleep apnea and that he believes there may be a Vit D link. But he believes there are several arms to fibro and needs to be treated on several different levels.
Anyway, I really liked him and he listened and we're on to testing now. We took many xrays today to rule out osteoarthritis and check the spine. Then tomorrow I go in to give a gallon of blood He's testing for everything so he can rule out everything. I could not get my internist to do that for anything!!!
