The first doctor I saw at my regular doctors office (not my usual PCP but another doctor in the practice) did not seem happy that I did my own research and educated myself so I guess her ego was hurt and she blew me off. I have an appointment with a sleep specialist next month and I’m hoping that goes better.

RE: AHI suddenly going back up?
Thanks, I’m taking notes on all of this including your machine recommendation. The sleep diary is a great idea.

Just a thought, if their ego is hurt by your self advocating for better therapy, you could ask which would be worse to her hurt ego, working with a patient that learns about their issues or getting fired by the patient that self advocates.
