I had my husband watch me when I sleep and he said I have long instances of no breathing. I get maybe 3 - 4 hours of sleep a night. I can't work. I can't drive. I can't do anything. I feel like I am waiting to die. ((((((
Besides knowing WHY I have it (I am happy to chase that with the neurologists for the rest of the year) I ABSOLUTELY NEED TO SLEEP. I am fine once I get to REM but NREM is a disaster and opiates, benzos make these events WORSE. ((
The sleep doc said they would give me a prescription for a machine but
1. The fitting place can't schedule me for months
2. Unsure if the prescript MUST be for ASV.
I know this is what I need. How can I get an ASV (money is not an issue ATM bc, well, if I can't sleep or die in my sleep then none of htis matters)???
Can I buy one and THEN, after the second and third in-house week-long sleep study happens (can't FREAKING GET IN UNTIL JULY) what are the chances that insurance will reimburse?
