You want to put the way you feel on them for just a day and see if they still think your lazy,slow or have a bad attitude. I have days where it feels like it takes effort to lift your arms I am so tired. I fought through those days for years. I am finally now committed to CPAP/APAP a Trach or whatever it takes to compete with people that do not have apnea.

I could have worked circles around most of them before this hit me. I am trying to lose some weight also but I was too skinny before at 145-165.

Thanks for listening and God Bless and help the Virginia families.
Well hang in there … as a Marine; I’m certain that you could teach me a thing or two about perseverance. What I can say is that this PAP treatment has turned my life around since starting on it last summer. You may be surprised that this treatment has potential to improve other health issues such as your hypertension, weight, sore muscles, fatigue, and possibly your allergies too … not to mention that special restful feeling that many of us forget about and attribute to just getting old.

Again best wishes and take care …

President-pretender, J. Biden, said "the DNC has built the largest voter fraud organization in US history". Too bad they didn’t build the smartest voter fraud organization and got caught.

Here's some information about filing a complaint, taken from this website:
http://www.ama-assn.org/ama/pub/categor ... _complaint
Once you have determined that unethical or unprofessional conduct has occurred, there are a number of recommended steps you may choose to take. First, you may want to approach your physician and explain your concerns. Second, you may choose to report the behavior to another physician who works with your physician or who has treated you or a member of your family. Also, a number of hospitals and group practices have grievance mechanisms in place for patients to lodge complaints.

Other avenues for addressing complaints include the state medical society or licensing board. These organizations have appropriate investigative bodies at the local level that can review physicians’ conduct. If appropriate, the licensing board can take disciplinary action against a physician’s license to practice medicine.
