Thanks Dan.
I hope the bickering doesn't continue. Only time will tell.

perhaps you'll have better luck.

Kaisgram is well respected but you are being vilified because you constantly cause trouble and try to run people off of here. You do that wherever you post! I get that you were bullied as a child/adult. Why not stop the cycle of abuse then? You are the worst offender here! You started me on this cycle of being mean!

I don't remember reading this back in April... wish I had! I read it twice just now; there is more truth in it than I want to admit.

I have personally had trouble with pale ride in the past, and I used to consider him pretty irritating for how he responds to newbies. But recently, I have seen several people far worse than him.

It's sad but i'm a fast learner and he is a great teacher isn't he? I know that sounds horrible but it's the truth! Look at my posts from when I first joined. He tried to bully me and I laughed him off. Several people have asked me to be the bigger person and stop but I have to wonder why no one is asking PR to stop. Is it because they know he won't?
Not trying to start a fight Just stating the facts as I see it which may not be the way you see it and I'm okay with that.

Got a call today about the CPAP equipment. They said that they have to verify with insurance and it will take up to another 10 days before they give me a call back.

Enchanter, if you really want to get copies of your tests which is a crucial first step to get you on the road to an optimal machine setting and mask, Julie and other posters have provided excellent advice on that. Please reread the advice.
Spending time on this forum and other one and going on a merry go around with all the questions you ask even if you had good intentions is simply not serving you well. It is up to you to get what you need locally and take the necessary steps to get on the path to wellness. Are you ready to do that?

SB - just curious why you keep posting what others have already said, but don't add anything?

Hi Julie,
Very simple.
I feel these 2 posts are very accurate and now is a good time to reinforce them.

Yea, tech said that a while ago.
But I'm biking a lot and keeping my mind off of it. Gonna get a new bike soon and I believe I can even beat the Sleep apnea on my own.
