went to the neuro yesterday after seeing my gp, the newest thing is with the C-PAP machine(not to be confused with the ever fun... PAP smear!). this is the machine that feeds o2 thru out the night at a rate of 2 liters that they're pushing now. the catch is to get this started and to continue any treatments for CH, i must (insurance co. bs) first have... multi level blood workup done even though i just went thru that litte treat, do a stint in a sleep study clinic, have another MRI and CT!! now am i imagining things here or would it not be more cost efficient since i have a history of 25 yrs. charted CH to skip just a few or all of these things? so here i go again, skipping rope and jumpin' hoops if i want any meds at all.
did print out the pages of info off Simon's link and hand them out during the visit just to make a point.
thanks Simon... :-)
