Yes, I do sleep on my side, either one. Have never been able to sleep on my back, so wonder why they insist these days that babies must. My kids were raised on their stomachs.
I keep getting different information on atrial fib. Keep hearing it's common, but despite all the heart attack symptoms we're warned about, I had never heard mention of atrial fibrillation until I had one. And then I got no information about it. Of course, I thought I was having a heart attack. Now I've learned a lot and willing to share, but there is so much conflicting opinion.
Thanks..will talk to my sleep dr here in the USA...i haven't had an appointment to go back & see him yet as he was trying certain Narcolepsy meds which are
not working..i still nap during the day...
Thank you for the awesome welcome...yes Williams is a very good surname

Thank you for the welcome note. I appreciate the comment about being an "expert" but to be honest I learn more on the forums than anywhere else. Glad to be here.
Hi And thanks for the welcome note. Ive been aware of my sleep apnea problem for some time. At first it was mild with lots of snoring. Over time it got worse and my wife couldnt sleep in the same room. I was unsuccessful with the CPAP and contacted a dentist friend about making me an oral appliance. As a dentist myself that was the beginning of my interest in working with patients who share this challenge
That's a good quality machine and pretty quiest for its time.

Thanks for the info. I do have a transformer, but wonder if it's strong enough, if that makes any sense. Monday, will call the company. It took me a while to figure out what was going on. Also, appreciate the 'ask again' tip. I've usually stopped at the first denial.

Thanks for the welcome. Firstly, I am not a Medical Doctor, just a PhD in English Lit. I have recently been diagnosed with Sleep Apnea through very low oxygen levels while sleeping. I am waiting, not very patiently, for results from my over night "wire up", to get on with treatment. Probably CPAP plus oxygen, but the specialist will decide after these latest tests. I just want to get on with it, so that I may, perhaps, get a more restful sleep, and feel like living again. I will keep the group informed of my progress.
Thanks again for the welcome!!

Hi 99,
I had to do some digging based on the limited info I have from your profile here but the Rhondda address seemed to have worked. Assuming you are the gentleman with telephone ending 001 then my colleague has contacted you Thursday 11:14am by email to request the additional info required. Please double check your junk folder just to be sure. Regards, James

What do you mean "without a script you cannot buy a cpap?"
Best wishes,

Thanks again for the welcome!!

That's a heck of a promotion!
I think I'll just stick with my screen name.
I don't want to confuse people.
