Felling guilty that I'm not doing my part to boost the post numbers.

Ahhh well,

. . . Do you write CPAP Rxs too? . . .

No, I just go ahead and put everyone on ASV.

. . . What kind of Internet doctor are you?? . . .

The question is, What kind can you afford?

. . . a lab?

It's a CENTER!!

Sorry SU, I vote for Shopping. You can talk to yourself while shopping, and nobody bats an eye.

But what kinds of things do you SAY to yourself when you're shopping? No one will bat an eye if you say things like, "Size 2, size 2, why are there so few size 2's?!" But it's quite another story if you shop while saying things like, "Muffy said I'm stable!!! YES! No one can take that from me! I want to be buried with this endorsement (slaps back pocket)! Yeah, Baby!! Whooo hooo!"

So I vote for a massage. A person has to be slightly deranged anyway to acquiesce to getting naked and paying a stranger to rub them while soft music plays in the background... (I mean, how did that get to be socially acceptable, not to mention legal?!) Also, if he has a good cry during the massage, the massage therapist will be very flattered that the massage was so incredible as to bring him to tears. At the end, -SWS can hug the massage therapist with one hand (while hopefully holding on to the towel with the other).

We'uns ain't gettin' touched enuff...gotta buy getting touched...what a world we live in.

"Yeah, Baby!! Whooo hooo!"

I ask you, how can one not but be flattered any time a gender-confused pastry dancing about asteroids compliments one's stability?

Words to live by, those. Yessirree.

. . . We'uns ain't gettin' touched enuff.

Judging by this thread of late, I would have to contradict with the observation that we all seem to be plenty touched, yes, plenty touched indeed.

Humph, that is IT? No vicodin, no medical marijuana, no Cialis? What kind of Internet doctor are you??

-SWS, I heard that you can get K2 without a prescription, and that smoking it can cause a condition that is impossible to distnguish from schizophrenia! **That** ought to confuse those black helicopter guys! Paperwork doesn't match the condition .... sane ... stable ... talkng muffins ....

I think taking meth for prolonged periods is also known to cause a more pure, non-schzophrenic psychosis if that is something that you would prefer. Of course, the useless "doc" isn't offering up any of that stuff either ... though I heard that the muffin runs a lab?

I've never even heard of some of that stuff. What kind of internet patient are YOU Unadog?

. . . Do you write CPAP Rxs too? . . .

No, I just go ahead and put everyone on ASV.

I never heard of a Meth-Centre either...must be the ones in the upscale neighborhoods.

In the meantime, back at the ranch....

Interpreting that literally, not yet. I didn't see a single obstructive apnea. It may more likely be that the underlying SDB identity (if present) is UARS.

No OSA, well there you go! UARS+(deep sleep alpha infection)+(healthy centrals) would be a considerably different diagnosis than CompSA. How on earth did I get diagnosed with CompSA?

Because they managed to interpret this instead:

• My central apnoeas and central hypopnoeas are associated with arousals
• Following arousal I go into a "textbook pattern" of hyperventilation/central apnoea/central hypopnoea/normalisation
• I have OSA with both obstructive apnoeas and obstructive hypopnoeas

And likely because of this:

Fybromyalgia seems to be fairly poorly understood at present given what Google has fed me. Fair call?

...I think that same fair call applies to Complex Sleep Apnea, which isn't even in the ICSD yet

If I read this entire thread correctly, "me time" with a massage therapist can help...

I said it before and I'll say it again: It's a damn good thing we can get solid medical advice on the Internet from strangers!

Now if I said that while I was shopping I would get locked up. Especially since my last shopping trip was at the greenhouse. and then the pharmacy. I wondered why the pharmacist refused to fill my prescription until after he speaks to my doc.

But it's quite another story if you shop while saying things like, "Muffy said I'm stable!!! YES! No one can take that from me! I want to be buried with this endorsement (slaps back pocket)! Yeah, Baby!! Whooo hooo!"

That would be funny.

I could pick a friendly fight with you and you could boost the numbers arguing with me. The only problem is that the fight would have to be about something I actually know something about...

I just know that the final post that makes this thread #1 is going to be "Mother" professing that despite a lifetime of seeming indifference to me, I am in fact her favorite. I just know it.
