PLEASE don't cry, Judy.

No biggie at all. I wouldn't have said anything at all if you hadn't seemed so intent on giving the credit somewhere. The analogy was only a repackaging of things I learned at cpaptalk (like rested gal's dog-harness analogy) and from info you had sent me, anyway.

I am embarrassed to say that I found it a little entertaining how sweet it was that you were going out of your way to give someone, somewhere credit, when the person who wrote it (me) is only on these boards at all because of how YOU welcomed me and invited me to participate after my first post as a guest over at cpaptalk. You have helped me more than you know with your great information, your caring manner, and your humble and modest spirit as you help everyone around you with this stuff, while still being so fun and real.

So, any post I make that ends up being helpful to anyone else is because of who YOU are. Thus, my suggestion would be that when you post the dance analogy, no credit is needed to me or anyone else, since the greatest credit, ultimately, should go to YOU.

Hugs back, my friend.

i have about 4000 hours on my responics M series - it is a constant pressure machine with a ramp-up feature. at first they set my pressures at 7 and then after a head injury they set them at 15 --- ramp up from 7 -- 15 will almost blow the mask off but ive adjusted things to keep it on -- no recomendations yet for a bi-pap or monitored machine but i have other things going on that i think scare them ---- i still sleep 12 - 15 - 18 hours a day and we have ruled out narcolepsy. i have good lung capicity to handle the high pressures but some folks cant exhaust at hi pressures so the bi-pap pressures will be lower and i think the user should be the one to determine what is comfortable for them - maybe with the help of a friend observing. i hate to be calling someone all the time to get a prescription for something i can handle myself
