Sorry for my short post earlier ( was late for an appointment ) and welcome to new world that can be somewhat overwhelming. Am relatively new to the Apnea thing but not to dealing with doctors, etc. I am currently in a position similar to yours and will offer my thoughts based on my humble opinion. ...

Got a copy of my script from my DME -- wouldn't hurt to try.

OK

I am sorry that I cannot offer an answer but I can tell you that I am experiencing the same thing. I called and talked with my RT and she said that my body was adjusting to the pressure as I slept and that this was normal and that the machine was actually still working.

And the phantom pain thing is real -- Got my right hand intertwined in a table saw some seven years ago and, long story short, had to have one of the fingers, that they had reattached, removed. If I don't look at my ...

Nope -- don't have that. Just read about claudication on the Mayo Clinic web site. They were talking about, that if it got bad enough, could require taking off the legs. Nope -- no way I got that.

Thanks for the comment,

Hallucinations and postural (orth...

The hurting is in both of my legs primarily in the lower calves. It bothers me every day, all day. When I get up in the morning I feel as though I walked in a marathon the day before. Am doing a little assuming here in thinking that is is caused by the PLMD as no one has actually told me that. I che...

Bobbi:
