Hi Norm & Alan, I was surprised by my sleep apnea test, particularily because I rarely snore. I have had breathing problems for a couple of years, but only when I exercise or over-exert myself. I saw a pulmonologist who had me walk the halls with an O2 meter on my finger. My Oxygen would drop into the 80’s, the alarm would go off, but once I sat and rested my O2 would go back up to 97% or higher. My cardiologist and the pulmonologist both were perplexed. Then last summer my fatigue got much worse. I had started Cellcept and thought that might be causing the tiredness. I stopped the cellcept, but still was extremely tired. My neurologist ordered a home sleep study. I am waiting to go into the sleep clinic to try both a cpap and a bi-pap, meanwhile I am taking 60 mg of Mestinon at Midnight and 4 am., then every 4 hours during the day from 8 am – 8 pm. i was taking 90 mg every 4 hours during the day only, nothing at night. I hate getting up during the night, after only a week my body just automatically knows it is time to take the Mestinon. I am also starting to feel a little more rested. I was hoping I could maybe resolve this issue with medication instead of a machine and get the XR so I wouldn’t have to get up during the night. I am apprehensive about wearing a mask. Amy
