Big Thanks

Post by wakedead » Tue May 17, 2005 5:25 pm

Just wanted to thank everyone for the great information here I was able to change my DME from a local to a national company and got a much better machine and a service tech who seems to know what he is doing. I was not able to talk him into an apap javascript:emoticon(':cry:')
Crying or Very sad but he did hook me up with a Remstar Pro with Cflex and a heated humidifier and oxygen machine. He insisted on the Swift nasal pillows instead of the nasal air I used at the sleep study so I will see how that goes as I tend to sleep on my stomach. Hopefully before my insurance company commits to buying this machine I can convince them to reimburse me for an apap. Looking forward to a good nites sleep again since my UPPP did not work out that well. Thanks again for all the posts it is helpful to know that there is a place to go for good advice from people who have been there and done that.

Wakedead,

Congratulations on your success so far. Let us know how it goes. I'm so pleased you were able to find some good advice and encouragement from folks here. I'm not good in the advice department, but I sure know so many people here are. It's amazing what a little mutual support can do. Feel free to let us know how it goes. We want to know.

Working graveyard shift tonite so laid down for a nap and test run bout 4:30 pm local time - my animals (2 cats 1 dog) were very curious about all the new stuff and noises so they had to come harass me, then phone rang about 5:15 - that was interesting trying to have a brief conversation with air rushing out my yapper. By 6:30 I couldn't sleep anymore I think I got the straps a bit tight and my nose hurt plus the sun came out today and my room was very bright even with the blinds closed. I was a bit tired when I first woke up but after a bite to eat and reading some more posts I feel good enough I may even go mow the lawn, so I would have to rate my nap a fair success.

Mowing the lawn, eh?

Considering this was a test nap and not a typical sleep, you did well. Things will improve, I'm sure. Good luck!
