Yes, do allow me to bitch since I spent an inordinate amount of time incessantly trying to attach the same images and trying to access igmur but kept getting denied access while severely fatigued and symptomatic. I’ll need about 15 weeks to recover from that, at which point I’m happy to use another image hosting site.

How much whine do you want with your cheese?

Yes...it is frustrating but bitching doesn't solve the problem. It does, however, annoy the very few people here that might be able to help.

You might try the apneaboard forum and see if you have better luck.

I’m sorry for being human. When I asked what to do about choppy waveforms, nobody wanted to give their opinion. That seems like conditional help to me. Only images. Well, maybe there should be a warning to people on here that images are absolutely required.

Not true. You got responses but not responses you wanted.
The people who responded needed additional information from you to be able to PERHAPS be able to help.
They don't do wild ass guesses.

You want wild ass guesses instead of educated ideas or thoughts?

Sorry...we just don't do WAGs unless absolutely no other way and since there is another way... we need that way done.
Don't/can't do what we need to help...then you get no help or at least don't get the answers that YOU want.

I saw your initial blurry post (which I couldn't see well enough to form any opinion and couldn't make it clearer) and to be honest I have no ideas as to what might be causing the problem you think you see.

Now grow up and put your big boy panties on and quite whining because whining gets you nothing but ignored.

Since you can't/won't give any of us anything except whining that MIGHT be helpful (no guarantee that even if we could see what you are concerned about that we could answer your questions satisfactorily) then I suggest you get with your medical care team to look for answers.

Here's a link to the apneaboard forum.

I’d posted another very clear, enlarged image when waveforms looked normal, which I’ve since deleted, but as I said before, that was a one-off. All other nights have been choppy waveforms.

I’m pretty sure I know what the problem is anyhow. It’s either a ton of RERAs or a ton of EEG arousals.

The neuropeptide I took called VIP is naturally occurring in the body. VIP is a neurotransmitter that relaxes airway smooth muscle, but it can also stimulate norepinephrine (so this could have activated my nervous system).

Like I said, one or the other: relaxing airway further or causing arousals due to sympathetic overdrive.

This is uncharted territory, so docs don’t have answers. I think it’s possible that if it’s excess VIP flooding my system, that it will eventually rid itself since I quit taking it and hopefully normalize and I’ll get back to my baseline.

Thanks for your input.

there is. it's the very first post in the forum-
viewtopic/t172378/Sticky--Newbies-PLEAS ... STING.html

here's what i'd suggest you do. somewhere, i believe you had a problem with getting imgur.com to work.
i THINK it was trouble getting access? if it were me, i'd start all over again with imgur. new user name. new password. then try to upload your images there and link to it here, bypassing the attachment "feature" here.

then, if you run into any trouble, ask for help here. right HERE, in this thread. i can help you through the process. others can as well.

as pugsy says, it's no guarantee that seeing the charts will help but NOT seeing them isn't helping at all.

good luck!
people say i'm self absorbed.
but that's enough about them.

I swear, if I ever get those images resized, I’ll post them right on here, pronto. Don’t even dare me.
only an ignorant fool resizes images before posting.

Oh, right, checks, idiot too.

Best you just go away, troll.

"oh, I'm so tired, I can't follow simple step by step instructions, but I can whine and bitch and demean all day long".

You're just an ass.

Paleface, are you a man or a woman? Just trying to decide if I should use a slap or a closed fist. I didn’t know you were the arbiter of this site, weirdo.
