so instead of helping the op you thought it would be better to do some more bashing?
is this what is known as piling on?
your post represents exactly the type of behavior i have been talking about
if i register say as pat does that mean i can randomly insult people who havent registered?
is that what it means to register? is this the way you would treat a guest in your home?


so again to defend...
i dont have the kind of time you do but in case you are not aware many of the same posters were the ones from the +Spam +Reporting +Abuse +Policy thread. do a search of +Spam +Reporting +Abuse +Policy and you can read some of the comments
i was just pointing out to cf that she has rude comments all over this forum

apparently you feel it should be accepted for people who dont know you to just hurle insults at you bc you are not registered?
if i register will that put me in charge here too?

yes there are many good people here to
like the ones you havent seen post insults in this thread

in case you are not aware many people have gone undiagnosed for 30 or more yrs is all i was trying to point out
we tend to forget that
it was not said in a derogatory manner

speaking of derogatory

My parents made the conscious decision to leave Mississippi in 1963 (when I was 5) because they did not want their children to be exposed to the ugliness of what white Mississippians were doing on a pretty regular basis. And while I grew up hearing the "N" word regularly from older family members, my parents made it clear that the word was not appropriate at any time even if "Grandma" and "Daddy Jack (my grandfather)" and my aunts and uncles regularly used it.
i have to say that if that was true that specific word would not be in your vocabulary

i feel like she is upset for being called out on her freudian slip

it's quite obvious what her intentions were... to demonstrate an educated vocabulary.

I'd say she succeeded

but how could you understand that you just want to bash someone

that can only be a valid point if one, such as yourself, doesn't understand the MEANING of a word, which, apparently, you don't.

the fact that something sounds somewhat similar to something else does not make it the same.

for example, it's perfectly acceptable to use the term 'bastard' to describe a type of rough file, however, if I were to term you a 'bastard', some might consider it impolite.

a 'grape' is not anywhere near the same a what you get if you remove the first letter.

so, why don't you take your niggardly apportioned intellect and fornicate off.

you can only know her intentions if you are one and the same

So ladies and gents, do you ever close these troll posts and ban the isp of the poster or do you just let them roll.

Not a complaint mind you. Just want to know how the board deals with this phenomenon, so I know how to best experience the board. Thanks.

is this what is known as cyberbullying
Examples of what constitutes cyberbullying include communications that seek to intimidate, control, manipulate, put down, falsely discredit, or humiliate the recipient.

I prefer to call what you do "trolling" but, should you wish to classify yourself as a cyberbully, by all means, feel free

Well, some join the fray, some just pop some popcorn and watch the show, and others jump off the train before it wrecks and move to a safer location. Usually the subject (not a person) gets beat to death and people just wander away because the show is over. Just hate to see it happen with a newbie's post.

My contribution to the OP is similar to others who have said it is going to depend on how they adapt to the new sensations, how therapeutic the prescribed treatment actually is, and if there are other contributors to their symptoms. I had limb movement issues disturbing my sleep so while CPAP helped how I felt a lot, it wasn't the only solution I needed. Oh, and my mood did improve once my sleep did.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for your last posts. I am starting out and my sleep with PAP is so much worse now than before. Your posts gave me perspective and hope. A great contribution. My goal is lowering blood glucose levels that are suspected by my doctors as being driven by OSA as well as daytime sleepiness. But since my pre PAP sleep was always uninterrupted and sound, the PAP Rx has been very rough on me. Thanks for your encouragement.

I am so glad you persisted in posting here despite the other non helpful posts in this thread.
I'm glad that you got a little encouragement. Hopefully we'll look back on these early days of papping at some point in the future, and realize just how far we've come. I also have insane insulin resistance that my doc feels will be helped by this treatment. I suspect, in the last few days, that my insulin resistance is starting to drop but it's a little early to say for sure yet. I sure hope so! And I hope that I can finally lose some weight and get healthier!
I have to comment that after my sleep study they asked me how I slept (before they masked me up) and I said, "Great! As always!" and it turned out that my AHI during that two hours was 71 or so, which is bad.

I don't mean to minimize adjustment difficulties, although I was one of the lucky ones not bothered by the machine. It took me two tries to find a mask that didn't tear up my face.

When I look at my data, it took about six weeks for my AHI to go down to sub five levels, and I felt better and better the whole time.
