Re: Got a machine....Water-boarding comes to mind<LOL>
Thank you very much for the info on my machine. I assumed when they told me that is was a "smart" machine, it would be a decent machine. NO, I should have been clearer but I am not getting any water but as GWC pointed out, but just the feeling of being suffocated. The machine comes with an electro-h...

Got a machine....Water-boarding comes to mind<LOL>
The rep came out to my home last Thursday and set me up with the machine. I have no idea what's good/bad or indifferent as far as the machine goes but this is going to be a process for me....I'm committed to it but it's still going to be a process. FWIW: I only get 2-4hr of sleep a night, barely eno...

Re: Apnea Misdiagnosis?
My point was that women are adults, and while some coo-ing goes on in all relationships, I think it's disrespectful to refer to women in public that way... if for no other reason than it helps to perpetrate the idea that women are lesser beings, childish, less competent, etc. It's one thing to have...

Re: Apnea Misdiagnosis?
Thanks so much CG for your words of encouragement instead of judgements. I recently read the horrible effects of untreated SA and I'm not surprised because my levels are much higher than my normal relaxed self. Jag, thank you for your suggestions w/ the specific names. I knew I wasn't the only one y...

Re: Apnea Misdiagnosis?
That is an interesting observation.....you see, being an extrovert I had no issue with the "being crazy" part, I just didn't want to have SA, which you are very correct about! I'd always been hyperactive with a very high drive and just assumed the movements were associated. That they could be the bo...

Re: What am I doing right?
As someone who is VERY new to all this but hasn't gotten a solid night of even 6hrs of sleep in the past 4 months, I am hanging on to yours and the other "success" stories" here. I'm finding it very helpful for alleviating my internal stress over getting a machine. So while I admit, I've got nothing...

Re: Apnea Misdiagnosis?
You guys are really super. Yes, ajack, de-nile isn't just a river in Egypt. I'm terrified because I don't like things touching my face while I sleep. I'm waiting to receive a machine or fitting or whatever. I NEVER sleep on my back. Generally it's on the right side but never on my back and the photo...

Re: Apnea Misdiagnosis?
Again, I appreciate the help to a stranger. I posted the Sleep Summary and the lab results for those of you smarter than I am concerning these things for your candid opinion. Kind of looks more cut & dried than I THOUGHT it would but I'll save my opinions till I hear from you guys, because you guys ...

Re: Apnea Misdiagnosis?
Thanks guys for the responses. I'm so new to this "process" that I don't even know how much I don't know yet. I am picking up the Sleep study results or summary this afternoon from my Dr office so I will be able to post tomorrow. When I spoke with the girl at the Sleep study firm, she noted that the...

Apnea Misdiagnosis?
I'm here for info and like many here, I'm pulling hair out trying to get more than 2hr sleep a night. I began the insomnia 4 months ago and did a At Home Sleep study to wit they decided I have sleep apnea. That was 3+ weeks ago and they still haven't found a responsive company to get the machine shi...
