tatoolady, kaiasgram, I am taking note of your advice and links. I must leave, there is a hockey game and we are now entering finals.

Julie, I did not mean to step on your toes.re: Universal Health Care.Please read my response to choker. This is my first time in a forum and I hope to learn proper behaviour before alienating those who can help me. I need direction and encouragement if I am going to help myself. Patience too, mine a...

choker, as it was initially set-up UNIVERSAL Health Care Canadian style was and is forward thinking and a godsend to all of us.re:Tommy Douglas. Unfortunately those who supposedly know better chose to access the cash cow. Cow is being drained dry and milk diverted. It has caused discontent on all le...

yes my machine is data capable. My res. tech. controls all but hose temp. and humidity. I did go to the Airsense website and downloaded all the data I could but I am not in control. I have nasal pillows and if I am reading things right leakage is around 23. I am going to access my data on my own, I ...

shaner, We are on same wavelength. I don't believe that Tommy Douglas envisioned universal health for Canada this way. Originally it was separate from government manipulation.

Thank you, Chunkyfrog and Robysue,

First a giggle from Chunkyfrog followed by serious motivation from Robysue ( I will print that)

Is it that this is how things are handled in Canada?

I feel there is something I have done wrong. How could the doctor be wrong? I will see him again on May 4/2015. Possibly he has a new sleep study planned(??) For sure more information (?) My machine was on APAP up until April 1/2015. They switched it to CPAP then. I am having an adjustment period wi...

lost no weight....sad to say.
My AHI 2.2 as of MARCH 23. But will it stay there? I am told that this doctor is of the new breed, progressive and young

I thought same as you. CPAP is working. No further testing done just reading of reports has been the only follow thru. I have seen the doctor twice for about 20 minutes, maybe.

January 21/2015--- Doctor diagnosis is mild to moderate apnea ----10 to 15 events/hour. Not bad but advises CPAP therapy. ( I move to Egypt - De nile- for the next week) January 28/2015--- Signed up for a machine and waited to be told it was a mistake, not needed. No such luck! -------- I did not ta...
