I am so sick tonight... I never spend nights away from my home.. I was praying for a women tech. to put the wires on and such but got a man instead.
When I go to the hospital I try to keep my mouth shut because people don't like people causing them problems.

The sleep study just set off so many triggers thought that I was going to be OK but I'm headed for another bulemic yuck. The constant monitering and the adjustment of the wires - in the middle of the night. A strange man walking in the sleep study room when I'm sleeping - wayyyy to much. The camera monitors and the microphones.....I know I am being stupid but it's like my worse night mare come true. My chest feels tight from the pressure and my stomach,,,,,, am I the only one that would have a reaction to this?

I think you are very brave to make it through that... I would freak out completely and start attacking people... probably why they keep me in isolation and warn me when the doc comes Sick - Sleep study

I think it's normal to feel this way if you have suffered abuse... But sticking through it might make you stronger in the end, by proving that not everything turns out bad and that not all people are out to get you... I am extremely paranoid and know how that can affect a person!!!

I don't have any advice for how you might handle the situation, but I hope it gets better for you.

I'm so sorry that happened.

I once freaked out having my eyes checked. I got in this little dark room with this man so close to my face and had a panic attack. I just wanted OUT of that room. Plus they dilated my pupils, and for some reason that sent me through the roof. I just started answering whatever to the "better, worse" questions to get it over with.

I got glasses that were all wrong and had to just take them back and try again another time.

I hope that the study will help you, and it sounds like you did something that was really hard to do but you made it!

I understand completely how you feel. My pdoc wants me to do a sleep study and haven't done so yet. That was almost 3 months ago. I'm not sure if I am or will be able to do it or make it through it all.
