Sleep Study Results

Another one of the possible symptoms of PSP is insomnia. the area of the brain the disease affects also controls sleep. Moms doctor had her spend the night at the hospital and have a sleep study performed. Today was the follow up appointment. So the doctor says she slept 4 hours for the night, which is exactly what mom had told them before the study. Then says there is nothing else wrong. He tells her he already discussed her case with her doctor and they think mom is depressed and she needs to take antidepressants. Mom was not happy with this comment in the least. Mom said "They didn't help before, so why would it help now", and I agree. I'm going to call the Neurologist at OSU on Monday. I have a feeling she will side with Mom. So for now, there is no real progress on helping Mom get some sleep.
