Sleep Disorders

I have empathy for anyone who suffers with a sleep disorder. This type of medical condition can really play havoc with your system and may present many day to day challenges. I have suffered with sleep disorders as long as I can remember. Unfortunately, my condition went mostly undiagnosed until later in life, My sleep disorders are characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness, sleep apnea, oversleeping and periods of insomnia. As I also suffer from fibromyalgia, getting a good night's sleep is critical.

Fortunately I was referred to a sleep disorder specialist who has helped greatly with managing my medical conditions. My treatment is a combination of select medications and use of a CPAP machine at night. If you also suffer from a sleep disorder my recommendation would be to see your primary physician and then to get a referral to a doctor who specializes in treating sleep disorders.
