I have struggled with insomnia and interrupted sleep for years. Have tried various remedies and cpap treatment has helped in some ways but not enough. There is a wealth of gut-health research being made accessible during the past few years. See Rhonda Patrick video series https://www.foundmyfitness...

Been mostly monitoring this forum for a few years after my initial diagnosis and just got on with CPAP therapy. As always, Pugsy was a great inspiration and help. During this time I've also been working through serious but seemingly un-related health issues. In addition to sleep apnea a major cause ...

I've made an appointment to see an optician and still awaiting my results from the sleep clinic/lung function appointment kick me if I'm being stupid or ignorant but i didn't know you have to have an official diagnosis to suffer from symptoms or illness you don't quite understand let alone find eas...

Those societies don't sit around all day watching tv or playing computer games. They are working physically and on their feet all day. It is more then just food. When the first books on "paleo" diet came out they were not just about diet but about walking 10 miles a day caring 40 lbs of meat or veg...

I said what I did when Morbius and Sleep Wrangler alluded to Enchanter being autistic as if it were definite... was not referring to the earlier stuff. Neither Morbius nor I alluded to Enchanter being autistic. I looked through all of Morbius posts in this thread but maybe you are referring to some...

Robysue, thank you for explaining Echanter's situation. I don't know many people who are on the autism spectrum, so didn't pick up on 'cues' in his posting. Although some of his behavior still hasn't been nice, and I don't think ANYONE should get away with plain rudeness because they have AS. Forum...

Before you go any further, I highly recommend that you read the ADP website. It outlines exactly what is covered and for how much. For example, it prohibits the DME from charging you more than their specified schedule. I'm not sure but off hand I think it also provides you with a mask for a set pri...

The doc says "the upgraded mask and headgear is an item not included in the funding amount provided for a PAP system (225.01);" so I wonder is it better to just purchase the machine alone from an ADP approved vendor and then buy the headgear you want independently ? when I spoke with CHH they said ...

Thanks Julie - my insurance will cover $215 and the ADP program $645 so it would be mostly covered. The $215 figure leads me to believe you are in Ontario. If not then sorry for the irrelevant info.

... my doctor has made it clear that I can stop taking it if I want. I may do that at some point in the future, but I'm going along with it at the moment. He looks at it as preventative, and has informed me at length of the risks as well as the potential benefits. Ya. I'm of the same opinion althou...

Imagine if we were all treated earlier and avoided those 7-10 years of misdiagnosis experience that most of us share. Yes. That specific problem seems like it should be achievable but this forum struggles with the aftermath from 7-10 years of failed diagnosis. Given the current state of technology,...

It usually only takes a 30% or so difference in pricing across borders to drive a "gray" market. But - this is medical stuff so that's a lot more difficult. Never tried re-mailing. From TO it would be relatively easy to go pick up medical equipment across the border. Likely this seller is arbitragi...

Some people--as you are seeing here--go much higher in their fat percentages. But doing that means eating fewer vegetables. Personally I believe that there are micronutrients in the vegetables (vitamins and minerals) that are better obtained from real food rather than supplements or hoping and pray...

81.7% fat Well I am back to my "drink olive oil?" question. What in the world do you eat? I looked at the nutrition label for walnuts. If you ate walnuts all day and nothing else, you would only be getting 69% fat. Ha. No. I have very severe insulin resistance and thus carbohydrates affect me more ...

Eating a diet that is 65% fat sounds strange and hard to achieve. You won't find many people who will eat like this. There is a correlation between apnea, diabetes, and heart disease. People in this forum ought to be taking note. My diet averages 4.0% carbohydrate, 14.2% protein, and 81.7% fat. I n...
