So I did that last sleep study with the PES (long story short, they put a tube up your nose, down your throat, and into your chest and inflate a balloon at the end of it to measure air pressure) and it didn't show UARS (upper airway restriction syndrome), but it did show obstructed sleep apnea. So I have a follow-up visit to get a cpap and after I'm on that for a month with no problem, the doctor will give me oxycontin for my RLS.

Some progress for you, let us know how you get on with the cpap machine.... That sleep study sounded horrible...

It was way worse than I thought it was going to be. I knew in the morning they were just going to yank the tube out... that was a "comforting" thought to try to fall asleep to.

Oh poor you, yuk.... Did you sleep ookla ..??

Apparently... but I can't say it was a pleasant night's sleep. Luckily, they only need two hours of data. I was worried they didn't get it since I kept waking up and they kept coming in to adjust that stupid tube. I hope the follow-up study with the cpap is a lot better.
