I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 11 years ago. Prior to that I was diagnosed with Hashmotos hypothyroidism, an auto-immune disease attacking the thyroid. 3 years ago, when trying to DC a med for Fibromyalgia, I learned that I had developed Essential Tremors. Now I’ve moved on to Restless Leg and Periodic Limb movement disorder. I’m dealing with the central nervous system here, and wonder if I don’t have Chronic Lyme, although all tests have been negative. I grew up in the woods of a lyme infested area of PA. I’m dealing with it all, but the lack of sleep associated with Fibromyalgia and the waking from periodic limb movement disorder and minor Sleep Apnea are reaking havoc with my life. Anybody out there dealing with the same mess??? I’m all ears.

I was just diagnosed and afraid to take the drug they recommended due to it influencing dopamine levels and potential for hallucinations and severe obsessions with gambling, sex, overeating, and shopping. there are lawsuits against the company for these life wrecking side effects.

I have been sleep deprived nearly 25 years and on bipap/cpap for 15 with little abatement of the many health effects. I am finanlly starting to get some of the errors made in treating sleep apnea corrected but it will be in vain if I can’t get the PLMD under control. I think they said I did it 175 times in less than 6 hours and weach time disrupts your sleep.

A sleep disorder is one of the most common problems to go undiagnosed. This is why it is so important to try and raise awareness about sleep disorders so that more people can learn to diagnose the problem before it is too late. Obtaining the exact medical data on a patient is an essential part of detecting certain sleep disorders, especially in cases involving Neurological disorders. People having difficulty sleeping must be aware of all the little details of their sleeping habits. They should keep a daily diary and take down their sleeping activities so as to be capable of accurately reporting everything to the doctor. A summary of the times that they attempted to sleep, as well as the times they achieved a successful sleep, will be very helpful for a doctor to see. They should also be able to report on the cases of snoring that their spouse or family member may have noticed. Their use of tobacco, alcohol or other drugs should also be reported to the doctor. All of these things will help a doctor to make an accurate diagnosis.

An especially important method of diagnosis for a sleep disorder is the use of Polysomnography. This is a method that uses electroencophalography (EEG) to monitor activities of the muscles and the brain. It also monitors the heart’s rhythmic activities and the patterns of breathing while asleep. Patients with a potential disorder are tested inside the sleep lab and are also allowed to take a piece of portable equipment to their home for further use. The device monitors the different stages of sleep which the clinician then interprets. The information gained may give clues into the type and probable cause of a sleep disorder.
