got my tests done

so I went in and had my tests done (OSG, MSLT). the first tech said I didn’t need to be woke up to have the c-pap machine put on but I do have a slight case of apnea. The daytime tech said that I fell asleep for 4 of the 5 naps and said she was able to score the tests she just had to send them to the doc but she couldn’t tell me what the results were. Should I think of that like she is just not allowed to say or look at it as she thinks I have N? I’m confused, worried yet excited, I haven’t even figured out in my head yet if I do get diagnosed as a PWN if it will be a positive thing or a negative thing. looking for some support.


thanks,

Whether the tech is not allowed to say or leaving space for the diagnostic process, I respect her for not discussing it with her clients. Rushing the process has led to many a misdiagnosis.

Be patient the process, Justlost. Your anxiety is as natural as it is counterproductive. Let the ifs sort themselves as you go.

Just breathe.

The next place to go is to the post test consultation. Maybe some Tom Petty to help keep it in perspective?

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
