- I've never had to deal with this so I'm throwing it out to everyone here....Couple of weeks ago my mom (86) started saying she has a belly ache. It got bad enough that she called me at 2 am to come pick her up and take her to the ER. We spent a...
- I started the process to be fitted with an oral device that will take the place of my bi-pap machine. The devices, there are several, are very scary looking to me. Like something in a nightmare. The dentist I saw told me which ones were the most...
- I am new to using an injectable med. I was given Victoza, which I know some of you are using or something similar. My complaint is the bruising I'm getting at the injection site. I'm sticking my stomach as instructed but no one told me to expect...
- I want to ask you how I should handle this and has this happened to anyone else? My mom moved to the state we live in once dad died. She lives in a senior village and seems to be having a good time. We have our best friends living next door. ...
- I've been reading on another IC support group site about the correlation between being constipated and IC pain. Apparently it's all connected. Anyone here feel this is true for them? It's not something I ever gave a thought to but there has been a...
- I just had delivered a new mask, hose, and filters from Respironics. They are headquartered about a mile from my house with numerous plants in the surrounding area. I know a lot of people who work for them although I'm not sure what they do. So...
- I just saw a pulmonologist for the first time. My PCP felt that someone with experience with sleep apnea would be better for me then him. I had to mail in the card from the machine to make sure I'm using the CPAP machine every night. Plus I had...
- All over the news today was the new Sleep Apnea treatment. I'm trying not to get excited because I have a feeling my insurance won't pay for it. Plus I'm not sure my equipment provider will be quick to get it in. If you didn't hear about it:It's a...
- Not sure if I shared this here or not..my mind is so scattered from sleep issues. One Friday night I put my mask on and when the machine fired up it made this horrible noise. I kept turning the CPAP machine on and then off when it kept making this...
- I recently took a round trip flight from Pittsburgh to Florida and back. I had been dreading it for months. I was sure I was going to panic, start crying and stop breathing. That's all I had thought about whenever I thought about this trip. I'd...
- On a flight from Florida to Pennsyl. I was reading the Sky Mall magazine and found a full page advertising sleep apnea products. I was intrigued but disappointed at the ridiculously high prices. One product I'd love to have is a travel machine. ...
- I'm just coming off one of the worse couple of days in my life. My daughter and my grandson left for Idaho on Saturday, and I live in Pittsburgh PA. Her husband kicked her and the baby out when the baby was @a week old. What a cold-hearted...
- I'm sure my original topic is lost in the back pages....Basically I wrote that: I'm tired all day again, falling asleep like narcolepsy. I use my CPAP every night. I started taking Provigil. This is a powerful wake up med. but it made me tired...
- I know there is a way to change the pressure on a CPAP machine. I have an old one that still works that I'd like to have on hand for my sleep apnea family members that happen to be visiting without their equipment. Both my brother from Colorado...
- Sorry if I've asked this before. Does anyone here take Provigil? It's for people with Sleep Apnea who are still sleepy. Also if you have Narcolepsy. I started to think I might have Narcolepsy because I started falling asleep during the day. Just...
