Mike, thank you for the warm welcome. I have heard that there are surgeries that can be performed with only an 80% cure rate. Now, I find out there is no cure? Then what are the surgeries for? To lessen the severity of Sleep Apnea? Let me say this...the diagnosis was Obstructive Sleep Apnea. So what are the Dr's going to do, get rid of the obstruction?
Hey Mike, check out Edward Grandi's info re: ASAA's portal into Amazon--they donate part of book proceeds to apnea research!! I put a message to you in there in my response, but was afraid you might miss it. Can we put that permanently on Book Club???

Wow!! Congratulations, Mike! I didn't know you guys were expecting. Is this your first child?
I'm excited for you! Glad she's okay. What's her due date?

What happened to your wife, Mike? Is she okay now?
That's okay, Mike. I knew it was buried at the time I asked you. Thank you for taking the time to look for it.
Hey, I think I got a notice that you sent me a comment last night (Tues. night), but I can't seem to pull it up. Was this "search" comment the only one that you sent?
Mike, thank you for the link for that O2 pillow you're talking about. I'm gonna check it out. Yours must make a + difference or you wouldn't be recommending it on SG.

Mike, someone from SleepGuide team (not ID'd) left me a message earlier today (Thurs. 8/20) and left me a link. I pretty much knew what it was about but I wasn't prepared to reply at that moment and just came back online while ago. The message has now disappeared. Do you know anything about that? If so, how do I respond now? I didn't know who else to ask about it, so again, lucky you gets the long straw!!
Sleep1.rtfMike, I'm Back. Sorry I was gone for so long. You didn't miss me? Well that is OK. I got good news. Here is my last report just for GPs. I changed Doctors and I'm getting better treatment. Stress-test,aa Sceen,CAT scan.G
Mike--Phil Tireman, a new guy, invited me as a friend. I accepted. He got the message but the standard message "so and so are now friends" isn't showing up on our sites. Can you fix that? If not, should we just do the process again or what? Thanks!
Mike, I'm sorry to be a pain in the neck, but I did it again. I wrote 2 somewhat lengthy questions to Dr. Park in the middle of your conversation "Is Apnea the Leading Cause of Death". He's never gonna find them there, 'cause there's really a lot of good dialogue going on. They ARE on my page but, per last time, I need to transfer them to somewhere he'll see them. I SHOULD have written a discussion about this stuff, but I got caught up in all the info he was providing and just started writing. TWICE! Oy vey...anyway, when you have time, can those two questions get transferred somehow? Whoever's doing all this extra work because I'm loopy should get a raise!!

Hi Mike--I left a message for Rock just now regarding a message I sent to Sleepy Carol re: her welcome today. I think it may have been better-directed to you. When you have time, could you review it and see if you're the person who may be able to respond to my request? It's about re-locating my response to the Discussion board. Thanks! -Susan McCord :-)
Mike, What you have done here is great! I am an RT with a couple of decades worth of experience in Durable Medical Equiptment. 13 of those years were spent setting up Cpap machines and fitting masks for LINCARE Inc. I now work as an independant sales rep, but still keep my cpap knoledge up to date by doing mask reviews. My blog http://cpapcritic.com is all about helping patients. Please visit my blog and tell me what you think. Maybe we can help each other, I would love to have you do a guest post on my blog! Let me know.
You need to make cards and distribute them to people on here to place at their respective doctors offices to give new sleep ap patients a way to get support and help about their condition. You could have 100,000 members in no time.
Hi MIke, DId you say that you had a special pillow that you like to use that works good with a mask? The Oxygen Pillow? Are there others as well? Why do you like the one you use? thanks,bee
Mike, thankyou. It is nice to be here. This is a very nice site. I hope I can contribute some good information and advice. Iam learning alot from all of you as well.
