 WK> Had my sleep study last night to help determine whether PPS is the
 WK> culprit in my lack of rest.  The doc tells me that I have sleep apnea
 WK> that is waking me up every 30 seconds to 1 minute!  No wonder I am
 WK> tired all the time!!!!  He told me that PPS is not effecting my sleep
 WK> time breathing at this point.  The oxygen levels seem to be ok for
 WK> now.  That was definitely good to hear. The sleep study clinic is a
 WK> relatively new one and the head of the clinic was the one who saw me
 WK> and read the tests.  He seemed quite knowlegeable on the subject of
 WK> PPS.
Man is it good to hear from you!  I was beginning to worry about you since I
hadn't seen any posts from you in Handinet and you haven't answered my last
couple of netmails.
I have a friend who has sleep apnea and has to sleep with oxygen.  I would
think that would be awfully uncomfortable, but he says it doesn't bother him.
He also had some kind of throat surgery that helped.  Can't remember what he
called it.
 WK>   I have not heard the results of the pulmonary function test
 WK> I took last week yet. The technician says that she would rate my
 WK> breathing on the low side of normal. I assume the neuologist
 WK> who ordered the test will interpret it for me the next time I see
 WK> her.
The low side of normal doesn't sound too good, to me.  You'd better be
careful about colds, etc.  Be sure to let me know when you get the results of
the other tests.
 WK>   Beginning to look like PPS is not the cause of most of my
 WK> problems right now.
Hard to tell if that's good or bad news.  The important thing is to pinpoint
the problem so it can be treated.  Since everyone seems to have a problem
deciding what to do about PPS, it's probably good that it isn't what you have
to deal with.
I'm gonna repost a couple of netmails to you, just in case you didn't get my
last ones.
