Mine made that noise out of nowhere for a period of about a month. Drove me nuts. I never have changed settings and the noise went away by itself and hasn't been back thank Goodness. I have no idea what it was or what brought it on but I'm glad it gone. As someone else said, it was very quiet and ha...

Glad it went pretty well for you Laurie! Wishing you the best.

If you find that you stop breathing as you fall asleep (as you describe), please realize this is a perfectly normal situation. The following paper describes it in detail. It's normal for there to be unstable breathing during when you are in this "semi-awake" stage. Ventilation is unstable during dr...

I have never seen anything in my literature about levothyroxine that says take it alone. There is no warning on my bottle Has having the mass removed made any difference with your Ai and AHI? Good Luck on your continued recovery. My bottle simply says "take on empty stomach" and i was verbally told...

Pat, I am hypothyroid and take levothyroxin. As far as the importance of taking the pill everyday and at the same time everday, nothing like experience. I had someone tell me her doctor advised taking it on an empty stomach, prior to other meds, and also to take it with distilled water. I don't go ...

Thanks again everyone. My pleasure sharing info. I'm glad it is sparking some good conversation and info for all of us. Dreamstalker: As Slinky says, you can live without your thyroid only if you replace the hormone that the thyroid produces. Be interesting to hear what you learn Slinky becuase i wa...

Thanks very much everyone. appreciate it. Yeah, i'm just hoping the info helps someone along down the line. And WOW... i never thought of the idea that they would lollygag and parylyze ya and then put ya to sleep "whenever". That is scary as heck just thinking about it! I just assumed that they woul...

Hi everyone! If you’ve read my other posts, you know I went in for thyroid surgery to have my entire thyroid removed last month. I had some interesting experiences and wanted to share with you all so perhaps I can help anyone else with SA, going under general anesthesia. There are other posts on thi...

I'm back! Thanks again everyone for your well wishes and your support. It was quite the interesting ride to say the least but the CPAP side of the surgery went quite well. It could have went better but not horrible by any stretch. Some interesting things happened that were cpap and surgery related a...

Thanks SO much everyone. I really, sincerely appreciate your kind words! It sure is nice to be a part of this big "pappin" family here and I'm very grateful. Thanks again everyone for your kindness, and support! It means more than you know.

Hi all, Heading for thyroid surgery next week so I won't be on the forum for a few weeks. I can' wait to be back online and relay my GOOD stories of Cpap and General Anesthesia! (I hope). I just wanted to relay that I won't be around since I’ve been trying to answer everyone's questions via post and...

I've experienced the same... my AHI on my S8 was always between 5.0 and 9.0 with mostly hypopneas. WIth the S9 my AHI is between .5 and 1.0 with NO hypopneas. I feel pretty darn good in the last few days also on the new S9 so the S9 is a freakin MIRACLE machine, or my mind has me fooled since my num...

Well, enough is enough.... I'll head to wal-mart tomorrow to get me an inexpensive new sd card reader so i can eliminate my reader as a variable and try Ms.Snuffleupagus' recommendation. I will report back on the latest in this saga then. Pat I got my new card reader and all is well! i have teh las...
