Hi fellow hoseheads! Haven't posted for a while. Other health issues to deal with lately, but nothing that I will allow to hold me down! Just wanted to let you know I have posted my photo on the map too! I included a photo my husband took over Thanksgiving of me and my twin grandchildren! They were ...

As a child, I remember having to concentrate on my breathing when I was trying to fall asleep. I felt panicly like I was going to stop breathing. Forty years later I get diagnosed with Sleep Apnea. Guess I have had it a lot longer than the doctor thinks! Also, I shallow breath and frequently "sigh" ...

Hi crazyone - I am also on Lexapro and a low-dose of Ativan. I was concerned about a decrease in REM sleep that some antidepressants and anxiety meds can cause, so I checked with my psych doctor and he suggested I start taking my Lexapro earlier in the day, rather than in the evening. I have been do...

Thanks for adding this posting on depression. I am being treated for depression and anxiety and do not intend on making any medication changes unless my doctor and I are certain they re needed. I have taken the withdrawal route with both lexapro and cymbalta - head zaps and all (I know they are real...

Sheesh - what a mix! The questions were fun! I always fill my buggy with pop. Cause I use soda for baking!

Maybe I could lose weight easier if I wore a full face mask - to breakfast, lunch and dinner!! Think that might work?

For what its worth - I stopped using the Ramp feature after a week because it interfered with me going to sleep. The Ramp helped in the beginning, just as the CFlex did, but after awhile I found that it wasn't needed.

Here's me at 6 months! I was spoiled rotten, of course. I was in the hospital with pneumonia when I was 8 months and the nurses took turns rocking me to sleep, cause I was so adorable!! Not sure what happened since then! But I am creeping up on 50 and my sweet hubby still thinks I'm adorable - even ...

I cover the openings with those laundry bags you wash your dainties in. They are netted, so air can get through. I suppose fishnet stockings would work too!!! (Boy, I can't wait to hear what kind of comments I get from that last statement!)

Mine is 9. Started out ramping at 4, but stopped after 2 weeks. Also have CFlex at 1 (started 4 weeks ago at 3).

I've noticed the same thing! Can't tell you how many times I've checked to make sure the machine was still running!

Thanks for replying everyone! As far as the doctor's findings based on the lab reports, I spoke with one of the technicians last night and he seemed to think I would eventually go into REM. He said I would know it once I did, because I would feel really good upon wakening. Also, I seem to have more ...

Just got my results of the two sleep studies - no REM either night. The doctor stated that he was unsure whether CPAP would even help me because of this problem, but he prescribed it anyway. Since I apparently spend most of my time in Stage 2 sleep, will never going into REM hurt me? I will post mor...

Not having any luck with posting my picture. Don't have many pics to choose from and they all end up blurry when I reduce the pixels. http://www.lickthewindow.com/cpapsmile/doh.gif I think I am camera shy - actually, I am camera phobic! Would prefer not dealing with the image right now! http://www.l...
