shout out......

Post by yorkiemum01 » Tue Apr 22, 2008 6:21 pm

Heyyyyyyy all..and Darntired (thanks for checking in on me)
Just wanted to report I'm seeing sleep Dr tomorrow, and happy to say
since he switched my treatment to the Vantage.....I"m MUCH imrpoved.
Still struggling with mask leaks, rainout, and minor issues, but in comparison to the YEARS of sleep deprivation, a GREAT improvement.
I actually had the energy to go out for a JOG today, rather than a long power walk, so I'm very pleased with my energy level. Not going to say a complete success, but want to give hope to the newbies and , that with patience and perserviance, it will improve! Thank you all for your support!

What wise words of wisdom did the doc laid upon you?? Isn't it great that we have another hose head starting to feeling great!! Wasn't there a orange tiger who always said "GREAT"!! I forgot what brand of ceral he was selling.

Maybe we should give you the Tony the Tiger Award for feeling great!! <wink>

We reviewed all my data in detail..........and what aint broke, he aint fixin', so to speak. We're both rather impressed now, as compared to how awful I was doing just 6 wks ago, and now on the Vantage a complete turn around. Leak .26, AI ranges between 2.1-3.3, and I'm feeling good and 100% compliant. Just happy report success thus far, and had to share, as without this forum and the wonderful group of folks here, not sure how I would've managed. Thanks!!
