I've always hated the gym, but I found one very close to my house that is A) Family Owned, and B) NO KIDS. It's never crowded so that you have to wait to use the equipment. The people are VERY FRIENDLY, and I've suddenly figured out why people walk on treadmills. It's cold, dark and rainy here. No ...

Diagnosed at 25 Looking back at symptoms I think I may have had some issues back in high school (at that time was thought to be thyroid issues, but the thyroid levels fixed themselves), then through undergrad suspected it was depression but never went in for treatment or anything (I hate pills when ...

I considered responding to another thread on this, but it would be in danger of derailing something. As Sleep related disorders tend to go hand in hand with being overweight (some cause, some effect, some neither), I was wondering what sort of exercise habits people have. Also the link is why there'...

Babs- If it's anything like my Sansa Express, it may suddenly start working at home also. I was having all sorts of frustrations at first. Sonadams1 said, let's just try hooking it up one more time before you return it. And behold, it worked. Damned little things have a mind of their own (the Sansa...

You know, my mum's dropping off an insurance card copy at my DME later today (UHC Student Resources is not the same as UHC, which their billing people screwed up, not the fault of the folks I deal directly with), I think I'll relay a hug of some sort. Have you hugged your not incompetent/evil/ignora...

Just think how great you'll sleep tonight with no wires and in your own bed. Congrats on getting past the study and having a comfortable mask. That is the biggest issue with treatment is finding a mask that works well for you. It will only get better from here. I actually slept very well. This surp...

Being the nosy individual that I am, I'm wondering what units the xPAP pressure numbers are in. I have heard they are in cm H2O, but this raises a few other questions in my mind: Does the machine put out a specific pressure, or a specific pressure difference from the local atmospheric? If it is a sp...

Well, the morning physical results I notice: I didn't sleep easily (all the wires, strange bed, etc), but when I woke up this morning I felt about as good or better than my best night in as long as I can remember (and I still felt like I needed another hour or so, gives an idea of prior). Felt kind ...

This thread mostly copy/pasted by suggestion, due to originally being tacked on to a different thread where it really didn't fit like I thought it would. First some background. About 8 years ago in high school I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid (symptoms: lethargy, difficulty concentrating)...

Rather than make a new thread I'll just post on this one, as the title applies to me too. First some background. About 8 years ago in high school I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid (symptoms: lethargy, difficulty concentrating). After a year or so this seemed to fix itself (the blood tests ...
