I was always skinny, until I was 25 years old.. then I "blew up" in size. I look back over the years, and have determined that I always had sleep apnea. It just wasn't "officially diagnosed" till I was 49. Some of my symptoms might be reduced if I lost a significant amount of weight... My overall he...

Actually, no I don't have any specifics yet... the guy who I talk to on the phone is a bit difficult to talk with... so I get what info I need for this step of the process and move on.

Yes, it is looking like this year will end well for me... and the New Year will be even better.

Thanks for the input.

I may make a few other calls tomorrow.... I was pretty wasted today since I had my divorce finalized today.

Thanks. I'm still trying to sort out some details.

It looks like this year will finish with plenty of good news... and one other matter will resolve itself in the coming year.

I'm getting a donated BiPap

I submitted an application through Awake in America, and they approved me to get a donated BiPap machine. http://www.awakeinamerica.org/ There are only two problems: 1.) I need to figure how to get the $67.50 required for shipping and Admin costs. 2.) I need to get a local company to receive the uni...

Thanks. I'm done with this thread.

But I'd like to hang around the rest of the forum.

I believe I've already explained my own story, and my site. To paraphase myself, I'm a computer artist who suffers from Obstructive Sleep Apnea. I'm well known in the Computer Art Community for sharing my artwork and personal experiences. I've even offered you ways to look me up on Google and verify...

I accept your apology... but I do believe it's important to do even a small amount of elementary research. I'm experiecing, firsthand, just how difficulty life can be if you're working with people who don't seem to understand the whole concept of Sleep Apnea and treatment. I'm on Welfare right now, ...

Geesh, I've had my web site for 6 years. It mostly dealt with stuff of interest to computer artists. I've suffered from Sleep Apnea all my life, and recent difficulties in that area convinced me to add a Sleep Apnea section to my own forum. If you bothered to look at my site, or the forum link, you ...

New Forum

I've decided to do my own part to help people understand Sleep Apnea. I added a Sleep Apnea forum to my already existing forum. You could consider this endeavor as perhaps a more personal touch, in which I share my own experience with Sleep Apnea. My forum also includes links to online resources, su...

In this case, "non-categorical" means that the State of Maine doesn't recognize that I have a disability. MaineCare (my insurance) will not pay for many things I might want or need, including the BiPap Machine my doctor prescribed. I had submitted a new application in an attempt to get a Disability ...

On the one time I flew with my CPAP machine, the machine itself didn't cause a problem. My shoes did. I weigh about 325, and it's hard to take off my shoes unless I'm sitting down. I didn't see a chair, so I kept my shoes on. Sure enough, I set off the metal detector. Must have been something in the...
