Bill, you are right on. They were very thorough in Thailand, with much more personalized service it seems. She commented how much more careful/considerate they were compared to a doc was here, not to mention they are honest and if something isn't needed, they don't do it. Her "highly recommended" do...

I don't care what any study says. My dads side of the family was LOADED with sleep apnea.

I'm up right on schedule, 4:45am. Thanks for the quick responses. I looked up the PB318 and it is FAR more modern than my first machine. As I recall, it only had an on/off rocker switch, no LCDs or anything. I wish I knew what it was. I am ashamed to admit it, I haven't done a sleep study since the ...
