Thanks, everyone. It's now very unlikely I'll be there. I can't tell you how disappointed I am. I want to meet everyone so much and I was really looking forward to hanging out afterward. Unfortunately I don't envision feeling well enough by tomorrow morning, especially considering how long the day w...

I hate to admit it, but I thought about making name tags as well About my husband - I don't know that I'll be able to convince him to wear one, but we can try. He always uses wombat as a screen name, so you could put that. But, maybe we need to distinguish his from the others since he's not a hosehe...

I've been away from the forum for a while and just caught up on this thread. The "notify me when a reply is posted" doesn't work and I didn't know there was so much activity happening. Just occurred to me - why don't we just go to the Swedish Med Center cafeteria? They won't mind, and then we can or...

Bumping this up again - if you're in the Seattle area I think it's worth considering. Of course, I haven't been to the workshop so I really don't know for sure...

PM me and I'll send the info.

Before my first sleep study I hadn't thought much about it. The day of the sleep study I got all tense and worried the tech would be some creepy guy. Having a creepy guy watch me sleep probably wouldn't result in much sleep. I lucked out with a female tech. I really lucked out because she is the ONL...

This is a small thing, but you might want to list the size of the mask.

And indicate if you smoke - a lot of people might want to know if it's coming from a smoking home.

Good luck selling it.

I'm going to jump in here with a completely different answer. Should I be looking outside the realm of sleep apnea for reasons? YES! Just because we have apnea and have excellent CPAP stats does not mean all of our fatigue troubles will necessarily be fixed. People with apnea can have many, many oth...

Thousands of people with undiagnosed OSA get through night after night without any therapy. What will happen if CPAP therapy is not used on one plane ride? I was inclined to think the same thing, but then I thought the severity of the apnea would need to come into play. My AHI is only 14.1. I'm com...
