drum roll pleeze...... my sleep study results
hi kids , so i am somewhat relieved something was found. Not that I want to have this dreaded ick. Its just several physicians have indicated a need for me to just "pull myself up by the boot straps," "see a shrink" and start jogging, etc etc.. I am so freaking tired and its been rough to keep up my happy face - glass is half full kind of nature.
heres the dope...

well... I always shift to weight loss first personally I went Vegan its so easy. Get plenty excercise. Use your nPAP everytime you sleep or nap. Relax let go of the worlds issue they will be there in the morning to worry about..
BE SURE that the DME rep takes the time to do a proper mask fit. If it doesnt work for you tell her/him. Sleep well..
