How come you haven't been back to the sleep doctor in 5 years since you were diagnosed? That seems like an awfully long time.

That statement fascinates me and makes me think, Jersey Girl. It never really crossed my mind that I would ever want to go back to my sleep doc unless a problem came up. Once he wrote the Rx and answered a few questions, I was basically through with him. He's a nice guy and all, but what would I get out of seeing him again?

I can't think of any problem a sleep dr could solve that can't be solved by the experts here and by having a data-capable machine and being able to interpret the reports and adjusting as necessary. Of course any other medical conditions need to be be addressed by a physician. My husband only saw a sleep specialist once a month after he began therapy and he was more interested in asking me questions about the reports I brought him and telling me what a good job I was doing with tweaking the settings.

Sorry, couldn't resist.
I have no idea where that phrase came from, but I heard it in my childhood. Funny how you remember weird stuff like that.

Glad to hear you like your therapy.

Darlee, Mount Vernon is a nice and quiet area, I'm sure your daughter liked it there

Thanks for the badge. I'll wear it proudly!

If we all wear our badges, we could identify each other when we're attending apnea support group meetings. It may scare people who just don't understand, though.

I have not been able to find an AWAKE meeting here in Northern NJ. Chilton Memorial Hospitla in Pompton Plains lists one on the web that they do NOT have. I called. I get my support here, virtually.

I almost love putting the mask on more than giving my girl that kiss goodnight! Well almost, but I do love my machine!!

I wont tell her
