Here's hoping for good therapy for you.

Kohkie, I'm guessing you haven't seen Gazhacks' posts on a thread labeled as OT about Boehner. Four minutes prior to starting this thread, he wrote "...WAR, POLITICS, and RELIGN [sic] and should be banned. I would like to be the first to propose a ban on such topics." I hadn't looked at the thread b...

For the record, I have never started an off-topic thread (and I very seldom read them). I would not, however, choose to deny the opportunity to others to start such a thread, but I do believe they should have the consideration to label them as such, and most do so. I have, on occasion, been drawn to...

Here we go again... While it is true that the purpose of this forum is to discuss sleep apnea, other related sleep disorders, and the issues that go along with them, most of us are not all-consumed by them. When we get to "know" other people, we may sometimes want to discuss other things with them. ...

Dori,

I, for one, would never presume to second guess the decisions you and Mike make. All I'll say is trust in the Lord's guidance and in yourselves. Once again, I'll continue to pray for you both.

Joe

Dori, Your story reminds me so much of what my parents went through, but I can't pretend to understand the anguish you must feel at watching Mike suffer. Your love for him has always been so clear. I know your focus is so strongly on him, but please do your best to take care of yourself, so you can ...

Congratulations, Bluecat! Here's to many more years of successful PAPing and good health!

Good news on the lower AHI. Let's hope it keeps getting better. Good idea to get used to things first before you make any adjustments. After a while, it's possible that a little tweaking (like maybe a tighter range) may improve things, too. Like you, my apnea is worse on my back. I guess it's a good...

Ever try to drink a yard of ale? It's kind of fun, although potentially very messy.

Can you say "rattle the windows?"

I'm reminded of the old saying "Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out."

There is a type of complex sleep apnea/sleep disorder called Pickwickian Sydrome, (also known as Obesity Hyperventilation Syndrome) I'm not trying to be picky here, Mark, but trying to help people who might misunderstand. It's hypo ventilation, meaning you're not breathing often enough and/or deepl...

Would I be happy with a compliance only machine? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! During my titration study, I could not lie on my side (my preferred position) because of all the wires. Instead I had to lie on my back. Like many people here, my apneas are more frequent and more severe on my back. As a consequence,...

Congratulations! May you have many more years of restful, restorative sleep.

I never heard of registering a mask. Learn something new every day...

I have, however, heard of DMEs doin' some dirty dealin' and it looks like this one fits the bill. Sounds to me like somebody's got some 'splainin' to do.
