try and use your machine as much as possible and should you fall down in this respect what does the song say pick yourself up dust yourself off and start all over again

listen to what is said here see if you can benefit from the information presented in a kindly way for us all to benefit as we are all in the same sinking ship looking for a life raft to cling onto to give hope and encoaragement

get all the rest you can, eat well, but not gluttony or put on weight a nice gentle exercize is plain old walking as all other exercises are based on walking, like swimming, cycling, running are an adaptation of walking. try and keep your weight down. eat plenty of B vitiamins as this give tone to your muscles although water solable (good) to much will make you constapated

Thanks susan, glad to have you aboard. Keep posting! Formed any opinions? Feel any more confident about trying CPAP while you work out your other health issues? You raise some good questions. richard was posting some very similar feelings- he's a physicians Assistant on the forum- about finding the root cause of a problem and dealing with that.

I meant to say Ambien. I said xanax... that is more for people that have panic disorders. Sorry for the mistake.

Sounds like you might need some xanax or some other sleep medication.

You might also want to try good sleep hygiene - going to bed at the same time every night (if possible), no caffeine after the noon hour, eliminating distractions... etc. I'd bring your issues up with your primary care physician - he should be able to help.

hi susan i am a religious man and can give answers as to what you are seeking should you want a biblical answer i can help

but you must contact me privately

hi susan how are you i mean you as a person
sleep apnea no body wants sleep apnea
should you have this problem and it is not treated or arrested somehow it can and will progress into esential hypotention, diabeties, central or combine sleeping disorder, myalgic encephilitus and the list goes on and on

how do you propose to tackle your problem without doing yourself harm do you have a different solution as we would like to know about it in order to evaluate our own situations

what you are saying make sence in an ideal world but we do live in a greedy world where everybody try to make money out of you yes you even the undertaker is on the make, resmed, your doctor, the insurance company, the government etc

do not cut off your own nose to prove a point as you are the one to suffer and only yourself to blame for non treatment of a serious condidtion

susan, what is your real agenda here? People have done their best to answer your questions, but you keep repeating the same questions, as if you are not even reading the posts. CPAP is the gold standard treatment for sleep apnea, this site is about sleep apnea.
Exactly what is it you want us to tell you? Why are you not asking these questions of the docs who treat your various conditions?
I think you protest too much, susan.
