the doctor didn't say anything about supplemental O2, is that something I should call the office and ask? no, it's not. don't worry about it at all... if you need it, your doctor will let you know. the vast majority of people don't need extra oxygen once they've gotten their apnea taken care of by ...

I'm pretty impressed with your doctor: 1. He looked at your data 2. He ordered further testing 3. He has cause for concern and he recognizes it 4. He made plans to investigate further. I'll bet your follow-up with your former doctor was something along the lines of "Are you using the machine? How d...

Thanks everyone for your input - I will be in touch with them to make sure everything goes smoothly. I'm looking forward to the experience. I too have a handicapped room as I'm now mobility impaired. I'll also have to ask them how shore excursions work with a rollator. Not too well in the sand, I e...

Where did you get P10 pillows 5 for $25? Inquiring minds want to know.

Doc thinks an AHI value of 2-3 is in the noise. However, I ...

A little off topic, but it is interesting that the same can be said for smoking. I have only ever known one person to die from lung cancer, and that was at an old age. I know a lot of people who's live's have been made hell from COPD. I smoked when I was younger. Never got COPD (thank God) but when...

Are you noncompliant because you're not going to bed? Or because you're sleeping without the machine? If sleeping without the machine, why are you doing that?

Doctors who are "in network" frequently collude with insurers to delay billing until after January 1st. Time to go camp out at the sleep doc's office until they do their job for YOU.

I use Dr Bronner's bar soap. Works great.

Are you dizzy at all? The air pressure could be affecting your ears. I have occasional vertigo (which causes nausea) that originates in my inner ear.

You have the right to opt out. However if an employer plan is available to you (no matter how shitty), you can't get Obamacare.
