My appointment with the specialist is June 1. My chest & throat still have pain, but not as bad as before. Doctor said, IF it gets worse before specialist appointment, to come in and he'll take me as a "walk-in" and give me a Chest X-Ray and EKG. Still tired (I do have sleep apnea, after all!) but n...

I am certainly interested in hearing how things turn out - and I'm sure anyone who has posted on this thread is. We post because we care about other people - we don't stop caring. And we also learn from each update. O. (One week later) Well guys, it turns out the company accidentally gave me a leaf...

Honestly, though, I think at this point it would be best for all of us to move forward however. Let me state for the record: Uhm, something to be said about moving forward.........nice gesture .......but then the follow up.....getting the last word in before flight. Actually, Charles. I am very int...

... and kittens!

So I suppose you can't help if I tell you my Beagle snores and I'm concerned he might have Dog apnia?

(Lovely kittens picture though!)

No one here caused this..... when you shared the details , you were told (and I don't have time to find the quote...) that what you described was outside (either in intensity or detail) the garden variety speed bumps, and that you really should be having your docs investigate. Now. Other conversati...

You left out kitten killer. ... I told them I was going to kill a kitten That's what I think it is, actually. I'm suffering side-effects of Feline Revenge. How could I have known that God is a Cat, when God spelled backwards is Dog? Geeze, my sincere apology........I failed to recommend Kat Treatme...

I was in chat the other night you were told by me to see your doctor - you whined about the copay (as you have whined about copay costs overall). You were told to contact your doctor on Thursday and now you say you weren't told that. Now which is it? This is a support group for cpap - we are here t...

The people on here have taken your issues seriously and tried to help, but they can only go so far. Yes, much of what I'm saying is responding to earlier-on stuff, and I've expressed gratitude over and over... and also frustration and confusion... and I really, truly am grateful! I have no problem ...

I've seen my doctor and he is going to consult with the pulmonologist and arrange an appointment for me. Charles, hopefully your are feeling reassured since your doctor didn't need to arrange a stat flight to the ETC for intubation with the prognosis of death by CPAP as inevitable. Who really knows...

You seem so angry at those forum members who did not give you the advice you need I have actually also, in past posts, expressed gratitude for advice given and stated I knew that best intentions were at heart. And that my anger isn't really at anyone here, but at a situation... Thanks for the googl...

You really should see someone who knows about this stuff. Yes, I finally did get the advice to see my doctor, eventually. And I'm grateful for that, truly. My doctor visit vindicated what I had said in the chat room, days earlier. That I needed to take a break from the cpap until I find out what's ...

Folks here are just trying to open your eyes Because, of course, my eyes are closed, and your eyes are opened. That's why you know so much about my symptoms, and I know so little. What I really need is some more sleep deprivation, and more burning of the chest. Because those things are all in my mi...

I think you are still in denial about having to use CPAP for the rest of your life and you are looking for an out and over-reacting over your doc's ... Ummm, "attitude". That's nice. Is your psychiatric diagnosis of me free, or will you charge me for your psychiatric analysis? Of course, what you s...

I wasn't going to address you personally Charles but since you have seen fit to put words in my mouth, I guess I will. I didn't put words into your mouth. Putting words into your mouth is if I said, "Brenda said..." I didn't say that. Like you, I also hope his hostility and rudeness to those trying...
