Has your doctor suggested another sleep study? I think I would see about that possiblity and see if pressure changes are needed, etc. It might even be that you are one of the lucky ones and no longer need cpap.

I was very happy when I found this site since I had been diaagnosed with sleeo apnea this winter. I had had 2 sleep studies when they found that my oxygen level would not stay up in the 90's and I had stopped a number of times during my sleep/ I was fitted with a full face mask and was starting to get use to it sleeping most nights undisturbed.

Since sbout May I have not been able to wear my CPAP at night. I have been in the hospital 2 times actually 9 times since December. Most of the time I have had diarreaha so it would have been akward to tear the mask off and make a run for a Mexico for you.,

Now 2 questions. I had lost 30 #'s trying to before I got sick. Since a month ago when I first got sick this time, have lost 40#'s. so a total of 70.

Will it be hard to get use of CPAP soon? The other is, my oxygen level used to go down into the 80's all the time and now while in the hospital it was always in the high 90's. The other thing they have found is I do not have to take my diabetic pills meds, because the blood sugars are really down.
ns from hear on out.

Thank you,
So my body has really made some real changes and will be waiting to see what happens next.
