It was not a fair catch

the first night with my CPAP was the first night in MANY years I did not wake up in the middle of the night.
Which meant I did not have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Another conquest.

I visited with my doc this morning, and it does seem like there is no one-size-fits-all CPAP. Good to know that others who have been down this road can confirm that once they found the one for them, that life has gotten better (and they sleep well). |

I still wake up frequently during the night even after several years with the CPAP. Sometimes it's to fiddle with the mask/hose but it's usually just because I suck at sleeping. At least now I actually feel rested on the part I do sleep. I can tell the difference big time between a nap with the mask on and one without.

I don't know that I really know anyone in that area. I will check with a buddy that's in KC and see if he knows anyone out there that does sleep dentistry. It's kind of a niche thing.

Try 3 tall JAMESONS and Dr. Pepper's (on the rocks) before bedtime and PM me your results.

I dipped below 90% like 120 times? It was some ridiculous number. Then under 80% 29 times, and my rock bottom high/low score was 61% on one particular dip. Which was the reason for coming back in. However when I go to bed and when I wake up, I'm 99-100%, according to the "official" oximeter they sent me home with. The wife says I quit breathing, for as much as 45 seconds or longer at times. And that's what she could remember, being the middle of the night and all. And hell, I'm not even in THAT bad of shape either. I could lose 20-25, but any more than that and I look like a string bean. |

I'm not against going as far as KC, but Topeka, St Joe, Lawrence, etc...those would all be slightly shorter jaunts. That is, if your guy knows of a good one in the area. I appreciate you asking.

They say most middle-age men probably have it, so don't feel ashamed, get the sleep you need!

hmm, hadn't gone the Jameson route. I did finally get around to buying a bottle of vanilla Crown to see if it was any good. Pretty tasty, and it seems to be what Nyquil wishes it was,

Sleep Apnea is the new ADD
Everyone can be diagnosed with it so the doctors can make money. |
