Hello... I'm new. You guys rock!
Hi. I'm new to the board. I can already tell the people here are better than any other board I've come across. Just wanted to introduce myself. Just recently diagnosed with OSA. It's kicking my ass and I need help! Glad to be here

Re: Hello... I'm new. You guys rock!
Welcome to the board Paul. My personality didn't fit very well with the stringent "rules" at the other apnea support board. I don't like anyone telling me I can't do something.
Besides when I posted my "hello, I am..." no one even bothered to say hi to me. Felt like the ugly stepchild. I would still read stuff there and quickly saw that my own thoughts didn't mix well there so I quit monitoring it long ago.
So we are glad you are here and feel free to comment and ask any questions that pop up in your head.

Re: Hello... I'm new. You guys rock!
Haha! Thanks. I can't believe how many people prolly just get the shaft because they're not proactive about their treatment. This takes alot of work.
I totally have my psychiatric treatment under my control because every psych doc doesn't know $hit about meds. I am treating myself with the meds I want and the one's that work for me. I learned everything over at http://www.crazyboards.org/forums/. I know everything about psych meds now and I just use my psych doc to get refills. It would be a joke talking to him about anything. The only time I talk to psych do is if he wants to learn something from me... since I've guinea pigged every med out there and I can tell him what to expect if he puts another patient on a med that I've guinea pigged.
