Somebody help me; Im still fairly new and need to understand what all the terms mean.
My prescription recommends EPR3---what is that????

Okay, guys; we could go a long way to control medical costs if we would just pitch out the trial lawyers who go after millions of $$ for the slightest medical problem......right now doctors are so afraid of being sued that they over-use every diagnostic tool that is available regardless of the cost ...

Here is my problem with this mess; nobody seems to be able to tell us exactly what is being proposed! We hear statements about old people just remaining untreated and left to suffer to death while illegals get primo care on the public dime. We have seen how efficient the government is at running thi...

I had the same problem with the comfortgel mask and could not seem to solve it, so went to nasal pillows (Swift LT for Her) Love it!!!

Hi all; when I last posted, my PCP had put me on Ritalin in attempt to wind me up in the daytime so I would crash at night. That did not work out because there was a parodoxical effect and the Ritalin seemed to make me sleeeepy in the afternoon. I went back again and said please can I have my antide...

Oh, no; thats kinda what I was afraid of.

Rooster; here is the info from my machine--on the top REMstar Plus M Series (with CFlex) on the bottom: Model: REMstar Plus MSeries Model#: 200M Also notes REMstar BiPap Oh my goodness, if you reef on a little panel on the left side of the back of the machine, there is a space there that has contact...

Hey Rooster! I know I have to be pro-active about my therapy BUT how can I even begin to evaluate it when I cannot sleep (with or without the CPAP on) If I could sleep I would have a shot at figuring out whats what. I have asked for my results from the sleep center so I at least have a starting poin...

WOW you guys have given me a lot to think about. Day four of the Ritalin and Im not impressed with the results. Yesterday I took my last dose at 3pm and by 3:45 I was so sleepy it was unreal. So I guess that stimulants used in the daytime may not be the answer, since I have not had any improvement i...

Okay now I am very confused; I had sleep studies last fall and have been using a CPAP without much impressive results ever since. Having had an ongoing problem with insomnia, I went back to my sleep dr and he was not inclined to medicate me for sleep. I did use ambien for a bit, but found that the r...

I am to have overnight pulse-ox too. Im really fascinated by this device and will have to do some research as to what all information it traps. thanks for your input!!

Okay guys, I saw my sleep doc today and he is investigating other causes for insomnia than sleep apnea. Thinks I might have a circadian rhythm disorder. Does anybody out there have any info on a device called an "actigraph"? Its a device worn like a watch that measures your activity etc for two week...

Ambien is a sleeping medication which unfortunately allows me to do some really weird things and not remember them in the morning. This is not unusual; some people even go for a drive and don't recall it. Sometimes my hubby relays my doped-up antics with some glee. Two nights ago, I remember the cat...

Oh bad news,yes!! It's the ambien....

shoot, I just turned 60 but was diagnosed at 59 SO can I be in the 50's???
