Morbius, I agree. However, this sleep study is a week old, so I'm inclined to believe that if they say they did not observe an apnea problem during side sleep, that at present I don't have one.

Liam, feeling as old as his sleep study is young.

Thanks for the update, I do not recall Morbius, nor any of the other names listed, but then it's been a few years. Thanks everyone for the information, I'm still processing through it. I'm thinking one thing I may do is set up my iPad on time-lapse mode and find out whether I truly mostly side sleep...

According to the sleep study, they are not all that uncommon just at the moment of crossing over into unconciousness, and the solution is first that the machines today are apparently better at reacting to that situation than they used to be, and second taking some sort of sleep aid to get you past t...

They are telling me I need about 10. Less on my side.

Liam, quietly humming Queen/Bowie's "Under Pressure".

Does cpap.com not still sponsor this site? Admittedly it's been a while, things may have changed. And yes, I'm opting to buy if I decide to try again, because my recollection is that last time I rented, the inflated price of the equipment from the rental place mean that my 20% copay on the rental wo...

I haven't been active on the site for maybe 8 years, but apparently my apnea is getting worse... I had given up on CPAP therapy, because I was never able to get to sleep with the machine on, I seemed to develop pressure-induced central apneas just as I was falling asleep, and I'd wake up gasping. So...

Ted Haggard is probably not the best example I could come up with, he's just the one that sprang first to mind. It's the idea of people who have several divorces under their belts moralizing on the "sanctity" of marriage. Or people like Elliot Spitzer making a career out of taking down prostitutes a...

...... Liam, tired of proponents of various religions angry at me for not following THEIR teachings......... At what time of day/week/year does this happen? I am in the Bible belt and just tried to remember when I was last approached like that. The only example I came up with was at least 30 years ...

I agree, but the problem is that organized religion was the catalyst for both. I tend to view organized religion not so much as a catalyst , but as a conveniently exploited social mechanism of sociopathic or tyrannical leadership. You say "to MAY to" I say "to MAH to"... But I agree, "catalyst" may...

I honestly see no real religious dynamics at work in the likes of the Holy Crusades or Spanish Inquisition. Rather, I see the same tragic sociopolitical dynamics of extremely poor and tyrannical leadership at work across the board each time: http://users.erols.com/mwhite28/atrox.htm I agree, but th...

Dpursi, That doesn't match with what I've been hearing from economists, but I am not an expert, merely repeating what I've found in looking at what the experts (or reported experts) are saying, so you may be right. Liam, who may be right, or may be crazy, but it just may be a lunatic you're lookin' ...

What I see happening now is money being printed that we can't afford to spend and it has to stop somewhere. Right now seems like the perfect time to me. In my opnion, the perfect time to do that would have been under Clinton (when we kind of did, with the balanced budget he and the Republican congr...

Track: Well said.

Liam, beating Rush Limbaugh with his own drum sticks.

this morgage business started back in Clinton's era.when he ordered backs to give loans out to people who couldn't or where on very shakey ground. You didn't even read what I wrote, did you. No one ordered banks to give loans out to people who couldn't afford them, and I defy you to point me to the...

when in fact, he tried to warn of this very situation a number of years ago, in 2002. Barney Franks and congress pretty much told him not to worry, things were fine. Why is Barney Franks' name so often weilded in this context? For MOST of Bush's term, Franks was part of the minority. Regardless, I ...
