The nurse today gave me a nasty look, but at least not a lecture, when I admitted I don't exercise because I'm too tired. I sleep 12-14 hours a day and gave nonstop headaches. When and where would I find the energy? To say nothing of my actual, literal fucked knee and the fact that moderate heart rate increases and parasympathetic nervous activation cause me to have panic attacks, hallucinations, flashbacks, migraines, and what may or may not be absence seizures.

The neurologists decided I have sleep apnea because in overweight. I don't snore, wake myself up, have breathing difficulties, dry mouth, breathlessness, stop breathing, gasp, have high blood pressure, have a large neck girth, have family history of apnea, or sleep on my back. But I'm fat and tired. So it's apnea.

I'm so tired of doctors.

Even with a good primary care doctor, the fact is, she's almost an hour drive away, and my specialists are so such a crap shot, and I'm just so tired.

I'm so tired and I can't ever sleep enough

That's awful. This treatment happens to so many people, and it's so deeply frustrating, frightening and invalidating. It's not OK.. I'm sorry it happened to you too.
