Re: Women: Please help me design a female-oriented PAP-Cap

I am working on developing a more female-oriented PAP-Cap and would really appreciate some feedback. Helpful comments will be rewarded--special discount coupon codes, demo product samples, free product--and many thanks. Some issues I am considering: 1. Fabric Color: lavender colored solid print? Ei...

Re: so very tired and it isn't getting better

But if they read your entire saga (which is 13 on the All Time Threads List) they should get to this page: http://www.cpaptalk.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=41490&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=285 where it is argued that there may not have even been a need for CPAP. For those in the Secret Society of Conspiracy T...

Re: so very tired and it isn't getting better

Had a friend with this type of mini seizure...Dwight would just pause and stare for a second (shorter than the cute little one in the video) as if he were seaching for a memory or fact and then resume the conversation almost without interruption (I and others have longer pauses but not the staring ...

Re: so very tired and it isn't getting better

Hard to spot---those petit mal seizures can sometimes be. There are plenty on YouTube if you and your husband would like see what some of the more difficult-to-spot ones look like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xE6N0Da8Ce0 (several here, but the easiest to spot is probably that one near the end) ...

Re: so very tired and it isn't getting better

Hey mar, before you go: Have you been using CPAP all this time, or have you stopped? Are you still taking pseudoephedrine? Muffy Hi Muffy, I haven't used the CPAP since Sept 15. With the cessation of the CPAP, I have had no aerophagia, acid reflux, or contact dermatitis. And even though my sleep wa...

Re: OT Moving to the farm

We are moving to a little farm house out in the country on 26 acres. I will be able to have my horses with me now instead of a 2 hour drive to see them. Lots of work has been done this past week. I painted the whole inside of the house including ceilings. Now we get to move in this weekend. It will...

Re: so very tired and it isn't getting better

I'm here to update what has been going on since I last peeked into the forum. I've started a new therapy and wanted to see how it went without over thinking it like I'm prone to do. (Understatement of my life.) Based on the sleep deprived EEG my neurologist thinks I am having mini-seizures and I hav...

Re: ARGHHHHH!!!!!

I'm sorry you had to run into such a brick wall of a person who is either lying to you or really doesn't have any idea what she is talking about. I fired my first sleep doctor/DME because I had found this forum and the folks on it and knew that I was getting the run around about equipment and my sle...

Can you contrast that .jpg to try to reveal the THO and ABD a little better? I think something's backwards.

Re: so very tired and it isn't getting better

Update Haven't taken any Clonazepam or Nuvigil since Sept 12. During the middle of the night of Sept 15, our electricity when off, waking me up to horrendous stomach pains and bloating. With the urging of my husband, I have discontinued use of my CPAP machine for now. I may be back to where I start...

Re: so very tired and it isn't getting better

Conclusion Desvenlafaxine is an effective treatment for menopausal HFs.[/i] ____________ Curious about those side effects, I went down to the liberry to read that article and see how many patients discontinued desvenalfaxine. It was 28.5%, which struck me as a lot, especially if you're in a study. ...

Re: so very tired and it isn't getting better

So, Pristiq, Allegra D, and Nuvigil could/do interfere with sleep, right? I think that cocktail needs very close scrutiny. BTW, perhaps I'm reading too much into your posts, but I get the impression that you feel REM disruption is a major issue, but I'd put that fairly well down on the list. Using ...

Re: so very tired and it isn't getting better

I don't see anything other than the abstract by those authors in http://meeting.chestjournal.org/cgi/content/abstract/128/4/380S-b, so their methodology cannot be reviewed. Presently, if one is using pressure transducers and respiratory inductance plethysmography, which is the standard of care, sub...
