My doc said he wants to do a sleep study- because I've always had trouble with fatigue. I mentioned it to a friend of mine who's an OT and her husband is a doctor- and she said it was really expensive- Is it?
My obgyn also referred me to do some water therapy- but I'm still paying for plantar fasciitis therapy 5 months ago and they won't do it until I'm finished- How does anyone afford all this extra stuff? Even with copays- it's too much for us- I want to get better- but I can't afford all this stuff!!!

" Two years ago my sleep study test was about $1500.00. I already knew I had really bad insomnia, but the little god I saw for other problems insisted that I get this test done.

When I went back to see him for the results, he didn't even help me with meds to get to sleep. The only "advice" he gave me was to see a shrink. I was pissed.

The docs we see don't believe us when we tell them about our own bodies or how well we sleep or don't sleep.

I have know idea what we would do if we did not have good insurance. I think doctors just want to refer us to one another to pad each others pockets. Well, let's not go down that road!!! "
