I AM SO, SO FRUSTRATED!!!!!
Don't give me a weapon 'cuz I might go postal on somebody. I AM SO SICK OF DR.'S AND THEIR STUPID TESTS THAT ONLY COST ME MONEY AND DON'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME!!!!!!!!!! I just got back from having an EEG (whatever that means). The tech said it's like an EKG for your brain. Anyway...I could only have two hours of sleep last night, no caffiene, no sugar, no nothing. So I get there and they plug 24 wires to my head, make me lay down on a steel hard table with a hard pillow, and I am supposed to lay down and go to sleep. ARE THEY KIDDING ME??? I can't sleep in my dark, quiet bedroom. How am I supposed to sleep with two people sitting there, about a foot away from me, waiting for me to fall asleep, 24 wires coming out of my head, strobe lights trying to cause me to have a seizure and all of the noise of a busy working hospital outside my door??? I mean, COME ON. That's why I am having the stinkin' test. I CAN'T SLEEP!!!!!!! So, after a couple hours of this (plus I had to hyperventilate myself by breathing in and out as fast as I could for 3 straight minutes. I thought I was going to puke.) I AM STILL NOT ASLEEP. They finally give up and tell me that because I never went to sleep the test is basically a wash. "So do I have to pay for it still?" I ask. And of course we all know the answer to this. I was supposed to have an MRI this afternoon, but I might just murder all of the technicians so I cancelled it. Why can't some doctor somewhere help me???? ARRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Thanks for listening. I feel better (but still tired). :)

Aren't doctors, tests, and medication wonderful!!! So sorry.
That is an interesting entry. Today i went to the funeral of Matt Hill. He is Burke Hill's baby brother, the Dr. did not diagnos him with cancer until it was through out his whole body. He died a month after that. He was 35 years old and had been married one year. He seemed to have lived life to the fullest and had tons of family and friends there.
Also Elsie has had that same sleep tests several times. It is funny that they think you are suppose to act "natural" and sleep. Elsie was younger. She ended up sleeping long enough to get some feedback.
I hope you figure your health out soon. I am sure it has to be frustrating to not sure why you are not doing well.
