Re: Adjusted but not 100%

I am still a newbie to all of this but I wanted to add something here: At my first follow up appointment, after starting on the machine, I told the MD that I was still tired. He remembered that during my sleep studies, I moved around a lot. He then had me do some blood work, specifically checking my...

Re: OT - Curious how/why people chose their nickname

I was born and raised in Southern California, now living in Michigan (!) but I get homesick for CA every once in a while: California girl at heart.
The avatar is one of the many great memories of California: driving up and down Pacific Coast Highway - Highway 1.

I have heard that if you allow a cat to sit on your lap you can cut back on that.

Whatever you do, please stop that before you go blind.
I thought that "cats on laps" cured migraines.

Re: Central Sleep Apnea Questions

Calist and JBF - How is any of that bickering helpful to this mom who is only trying to find serious answers to her questions about her child. Take it to another thread but don't hijack this thread to argue - you should be ashamed of yourselves.

Re: Unknown topic

True story ... Many years ago I was reading "No Exit" by Sartre, and carried it around all over. One day I was getting into an elevator and somehow the book slipped and fell - right down the shaft where I could not get it back, and I thought that was pretty Zen too! Makes about as much sense as not...

Re: off topic DO YOU HAVE A CAT?

Sorry for the long post but I think this is funny... and true! Guidelines for Cats Doors Do not allow closed doors in any room. To get door opened, stand on hind legs and hammer with forepaws. Once door is opened, it is not necessary to use it. After you have ordered an "outside" door opened, stand ...

How significant is VS overall?

Hi all, When I checked my reports yesterday (and then this morning), it shows that my Vibratory Snoring is way higher than it has been in the past. IE: it generally runs in the 20's/30's but Wed and last night they were in the 90's. I talked with the Physician's assistant that I see at the sleep MD'...
