That's why I love this forum. I've gained so much knowledge from threads that have "meandered" a bit and hit on a subject that applied to my situation or added to my education . So now Alex knows what EDS is to add to his alphabet soup! [/quote]

EDS, RDI, AHI, EPR...give us three letters, we'll make you a form of measurement.

Hi Alex,
I just wanted you to know that I have been following this thread and it is absolutely unbelievable
what you have been through for so long! Thank God that you found these people on this forum to help you.
I am so glad that you are doing so much better and hope that you continue to do so.
GOD BLESS YOU!

Sister,

Thanks for following up on me. Please don't be a stranger. I hope you're doing well too.

I can just imagine how those alarms sound like over there. Here, I had to contend with speeding cars and firetruck/ambulance sirens. Those usually wake me up every night living here in Miami but unless there was a massive decline of emergencies and accidents, I don't wake up to them anymore.

First... congratulations... I just read your whole thread and sure it is incredible what you went thought and how you are improving... good!!!!.... from one miamense to other... good job ..... BTW... I'm sure that I have seen your face in some place in Miami

Thank you very much Mikosiko...

Even though Miami is such a big city, its not rare to run into people more than a couple of times so we probably have crossed paths before...lol.

Yes, there certainly are a lot of acronyms in sleep medicine! It took me a while to figure out what they all meant, and some I still don't thoroughly understand.

[Lizistired]

So you need to check in and let us know how you are doing!!

[Pugsy]

Ah, these kids grow up so fast and forget us... I bet he is having more fun, feeling better and just too busy..
We did witness a miracle with that one.

[Lizistired]

Yeah, an overnight miracle! That was fun to see how the data and the forum can work.

Hey ladies,

I have not forgotten about you guys. You are my angels. I've been getting so much restorative sleep lately! Usually getting anywhere from 6 to 8 hours of non-stop leep and AHIs of 4 to 0.2. I'm feeling absolutely changed. How r u guys doing? And what r u up to these days?

This thread is priceless!

Good to hear from you Alex,
I am doing fine. Ripped up the tiles in my kitchen floor the other day and today is tile laying day. Got a friend coming over with her wet saw. Putting down slate. Husband is truck driver, he won't be home till tonight after the hard work is done which is good because he means well but bugs me when I tackle a tile job. Hovers like a mother hen.

Glad to hear that you are doing well. I figured that you were enjoying your new found energy and feelings. Please come by ever now and then to keep us posted on how things are going. We are all a bunch of mother hens here.

Alex, happy for you... and jealous!

+1. Alex, your story is a fine example of how a patient who is well-informed can advocate successfully to optimize his or her own care. It would make a good addition to the success stories thread.
