After the sleep study, "TheDrugDealer" decided to send me to an Ear Nose and Throat doctor to see if there was anything obstructing my breathing and causing my Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

I went to my E-stem Treatment and then ate lunch while waiting for time to go see "TheBoogerDoc."

After a short examination, his nurse took some prescription Afrin and then Lidocaine and sprayed them up my nose with a high pressure sprayer, like they use to clean concrete parking lots. Then she left the room and and "TheBoogerDoc" came back in with a 3-foot long flexible black cord with a light on the end of it.

He leaned back my chair and proceeded to slide that 3-foot long cord DOWN MY NOSE. He started with the right nostril and it hurt so incredibly bad that he had to pull it out and start over on the left nostril. Apparently I have some sort of bent/crooked bone in my nose that was making the right side hurt so bad.

He said that my sleep apnea didn't appear to be too bad, but that he did see the results of acid reflux disease while looking down my nose and into my throat. Guess what? I got another prescription for Nexium. Just what I needed.

He also said that I needed to get 45 minutes of exercise per day and more sleep. I wanted to look at him and say... now, you can't have both. I am already running out of hours in the day. I can either exercise or get more sleep, there isn't enough time to do both. I guess these doctors don't understand that I work full time and go to school fulltime, even after you tell them.
