- Hi all. I've been a member here since 2010, but haven't posted here in the last 2 or so years. I wear the Mirage Quattro full face mask. Never had a problem until this last Saturday. When I woke Saturday morning I had bright red patches on my...
- Is that the only answer? I manage my diabetes, I manage my kidney disease, I manage my sleep apnea. I don't want to manage my anger(rage?). I want it G.O.N.E.!
- I hold my anger in because I don't want my co-workers to know what a loose cannon I am and because my husband has put up with my depression for 36 years and I don't want him to know that I've added uncontrollable anger to my roster of personality...
- I'm 53. Haven't had a period since 2010. I still experience some issues with hot flashes and up until this year mild mood swings. I also have severe depression. I have been taking Wellbutrin for years with good success, until this year. The first...
- Saw my doc this morning for my 3 mo. follow up. A1c is 6.3 with fasting glucose 93. I'm 37 lbs down from January 2014 and my triglycerides are down from a whopping 341 to 167!! Still need to bring the tri's down a bit more and still need to lose...
- Don't know what made me think of this this morning but, we all know that once you have diabetes you're a diabetic for the rest of your life.A while back ( maybe even a year ago) hospitals and doctors were saying that gastric bypass could "cure"...
- I was diagnosed with Type II in 2011. I took Metformin, lived through the side effects, lost weight and brought my A1c down to 5.8. My GP took me off the Metformin the following May. He had me continuing Byetta twice a day. I'm still on that.Well, I...
- Apologies if this has been discussed before. I'm 52 and was Dx with hypothyroidism in October of 2012. Doctor put me on .05 mcgs once daily. I saw him again last week after having labs done and he said I needed an increase in the levothyroxine. He...

- I ordered ( finally, after nearly 3 years on a CPAP LOL) some mask liners. I ordered "Quietus" CPAP liners. They're made of cotton and user reviews said they used each liner several times and that each liner survived washing 2 or 3 times as well.Any...
- Off topic but not entirely as my question does involve my B/P med. My doctor changed my B/P med last week (02/14) after my being on Lisinopril/ HCTZ for over 15 years with no problems. He took my B/P last week during an exam and the reading was 136/...
- Are there any fires where you live? Hope you and yours are staying cool and safe!
- My electricity went off at 5:15 this morning. Of course, so did my CPAP. I tried sleeping sitting up but that didn't work. Thankfully the power was only out for about 2 hours.I searched on line for battery packs for the CPAP just now and they are...
- Reading the posts from SpringLady and e4now have reawakened some memories of my first experiences when starting with my CPAP.Here's one piece of advice that may serve you and any other newbie very well. If possible, try to request a Respiratory...
- I remember you saying that your wife didn't believe you had SA and didn't like your sleeping with a CPAP. Before treatment did she not hear you stop breathing repeatedly?Before I got treatment I suspected that I had SA but it was night after night...
