Lailoni, I agree with sleepycarol, sounds like there are other health problems going on with you. Have you seen your regular doctor for the edema in your ankes and legs, and the spots? Are you using your cpap and if so, is it helping? Are you able t…
Okay so your sleep study was done in 2008, correct?
What have you done to help your sleep apnea?
Have you had an MSLT done? This is where they do further testing for narcolepsy.
Have you tried using a cpap? If not why?
From what you have told us…
I was wondering about that myself because I myself have sleep apnea and I sometimes feel like I forget things a lot more often than I used to. I figure its because of the oxygen loss to the brain that has the same affect some narcotic drugs have to…

I do not just love him. I think he makes sleep look sexy!
Yeah, well, jnk is one sharp cookie for all his protestations he is "only" a patient!! And his comment planted the question in my head. Blame him!! Dontcha just love that guy??
I thought jnk had me for a minute. great question Judy.
I know. I rather like it too. *wicked grin* Doggone jnk is just too darn level headed.
The two major manufacturers have similar "comfort features" but use somewhat different terminology. Since determining the settings for these "comfort features" require that the patient be sleeping how on earth is the local DME RRT going to come up w…
You could very well be right jnk. I have never been in this situation. Those settings are hardly ever discussed.
It would all depend on what the minimum maximum window is Judy. Maybe I am missing something on this one as I do not fully understand your question.
In general Carol, steve is right. Your case and many others prove the need to treat the pt rather than the rule.
Keep them coming guys! Thank you so much Judy. Ask anything you want. It does not matter if it is on the test or not. Put me in any situation you like as I am bound to answer based on the same set of rules.

Hey DW ~
Great hearing from Brandon. Please tell him from me that I'm glad he asked in and that I think he's amazing - way ahead of his time -- the wave of the future. And would you also tell him that I hope he keeps voicing his ideas about everyth…
If anyone would like to help me study this week PM me your email. i will send you questions to post on SG.
Do you mean where they go, or why they are used? The first thing that I am going to do is draw out the complete 10/20 when I walk into the room.
there is a couple questions about t3-t4- placement
No cramming the night before. My brother has a day of fun planned for me that will end with an early night. I will however cram through Tuesday with my family doing a comprehensive review at dinner on Wed. The only thing I will look over on Friday m…
