I had a consultation with a sleep specialist. He was very nice. We talked about music - I teach piano and he was in orchestras as a kid. Anyway, he feels pretty sure I have sleep apnea and possibly narcolepsy. So I have to go do the studies. I don't mind the apnea sleep study, but for the narcolepsy naps studies, I would have to go off all my OCD medications! I can't DO that. And he was sympathetic to that. So we are putting it off. When I tried even decreasing my Paxil in the past, I became extremely obsessive and couldn't sleep at all. It really developed into pure O. My OCD is on the severe side. Maybe treatment for sleep apnea will be enough to improve things. I hope.
