I got complimented on my toes (NOT off topic)

[JayC]

Recently, I was walking around at a neighborhood block party. My feet were in sandals. My friend looked down and remarked how healthy my nailbeds were! She remarked that her sister with thyroid had yellowish/ashen nailbeds.......and mine were pink and healthy.

I honestly was more aware how long my toenails are and how I cant seem to keep them trimmed....

She was right about the color and character being healthy.....and I suppose fast growing hard but smooth nails are also a healthy sign.

Any one else have subtle and easily overlooked signs of health after some time on XPAP...?

My skin is not as dry - this is especially noticeable on my heels which are suddenly(?) not cracked anymore.

If I don't play my guitars consistantly,
I will loose the calus on my finger tips
in just a few days.
It takes longer to build it backup, too.

It's a constant reminder that my therapy is working.

I was developing periodontal disease until I started getting sleep and O2 overnight from PAP therapy. My hygienist and dentist were both absolutely amazed at the sudden turnaround.

Oh, and nice toes, JayC!

I have not had to get any preparation H in a long time now.

My alergies seem to have diminished.

It all goes together.
I recently found out I need to take insulin shots to control my diabetes.
My fault.
I'm getting to be a high maintenance gal. But I'm feeling so much better.

I don't forget words nearly as often as before.

Great examples! Amazing what improves and goes unnoticed at first.......

Love to read more....

Am I the only one who checked out my toes after reading this?

Better "hormonal balance" in general - My skin seems a bit oilier / moister - I see the same improvement in my toenails.

MUCH more energy - for the first time in my life (really!) I feel the need to "burn it off" / exercise.

I suspect increased testosterone levels, too.

Awesome, and I know what you mean about overlooked signs.

As a guy, I have no idea what nailbeds are. But you're welcome to post pics ...

I get sores on the bridge of my nose and I love the fact that I'm awake enough to feel it. It is like a sore of restfulness.

Craving for exercise, have been hitting the gym 4 to 5 times a week after few weeks on CPAP. and no longer fall asleep while driving.
My girlfriend is happy because she knows she will not lose me to auto accident.
