[QUOTE="emotionallybankrupt, post: 330273, member: 8226"] I agree with the others who have said that if your gut feeling is that something else needs evaluation, it would probably be a good idea. Sometimes--as in the case of my easy child--you never find a thread to tie it together; in her case the doctors even say there is simply not a diagnosis that is a match for her. We've gone the distance with evaluation, though, and while the "I don't know" is not a comfortable stopping point, I'd rather have that than a false diagnosis. Many doctors tend to hang a diagnosis on the label that is the closest fit rather than to say we have no label. In her case, though, I've made a peace with the mystery and the "I don't know" answer--probably because her improvement has been so amazing. Despite all the evaluation she's had, I'd be likely to keep digging if things weren't going so well. In your case, I'm particularly curious about the fact that you know what would be involved to have a sleep study for her. That makes me think you have been suspicious enough to gather information. Whether or not anybody else thinks it would have value, if YOU think it is warranted, it would be worth it to check that one off the list if the travel is feasible for you. I think that a sleep study is usually a one-time event (or 2-time if sleep apea--which it sounds like you know all about). I do know that if a sleep disorder is present, and is diagnosed and effectively treated, it can be a wonderful thing. [/QUOTE]
