Back home from Florida for a couple of months!
It's been a day of surprises, most of them unpleasant.

I need advice. I am very pissed off. I have been sleeping poorly for about the last year. Told the doctor. He set me up with an at-home sleep study. Have been waiting for a couple of weeks to get results. Instead of getting results, I get a all from the doctor scheduling a fitting for a CPAP. No results. No discussion. Do I have the right to be pissed off? I feel like I have been referred to a cancer doctor before I have been told that I have cancer. Is this the way a doctor tells you that you have a problem? I need some recommendations on CPAP in case I decide to get one.
Yeah - that's really poor. As for CPAP recommendations? If possible get APAP, not CPAP. APAP adjusts the amount of pressure depending on whether you're breathing in or out (so the pressure reduces to make it easier to breathe out). It will also ramp up the pressure if it senses you're closing in on an apnea or hypopnea event (up to a preset level). CPAP just delivers a single pressure. You learn to breathe out against it, but the APAP is MUCH nicer. My APAP is my friend. I sleep VERY well with it.
Thanks everyone for your feedback. I appreciate it. Turns out I have severe sleep apnea. I stopped breathing 34 times in a hour. I still want to see a sleep specialist. This doctor made a bunch of excuses about not giving me the results before the referral. I am going to drop him like a stone.
I went from 48 (which I still think is improbable), to .5 or less
Shane, Rafe, and now Don is back?
Happy reunion day KIDS!
