Happy Belated Birthday Krystal...Hope you had a wonderful day!

Thanks

I was given my bi pap at a skinny stage of my life. I don't wear mine right now because i tend to have air leak into my stomach and cause terrible pain. I talked to the pulmonary people when i had surgery and told them what goes on. But my levels are only very high because I'm a shallow breather. But since I've lost some weight i don't snore like i used to. I just need to find another sleep Dr who will work with my disorder and listen to me about that instead of yelling at me for not wearing my mask.

I last saw my pulm in January so it's getting closer to time. I'd be thrilled to get off the cumbersome thing. Idk if it will ever happen as honestly I wasn't as heavy as some and I still had severe sleep apnea. My pressure is set of 15 and my RDI on my testing was at 60!! I think it's probably gotten as better cause like u I've heard my snoring is alot better. That and sometimes now I am thinking it's waking me up. My surgeon said that could be a possible sign it indeed is improving. Glad u get me about it. I wanna be at my best and use it but geez it's becoming a bigger pain now

Yeah that totally sucks. My main complaint is I don't want to keep having to go back and forth to a sleep lab to have my pressure titrated multiple times. My husband leaves alot and we are military so I can't just go spend nights at their sleep center. They refused to lower the pressure down without a new study

Used to do a combo of ambien and lorazapan and it stopped' date=' Trazadone does not work, ect. I inherited my mothers aunts sleep disorder. My sleep apnea dr said ooh i should be sleeping easy with my bi pap, hell no it does not help. My mind does not shut down, when i do sleep i don't hit rem until its way to late.

That sucks. I just mostly cant sleep cuz my brain keeps going. Sometimes I wrife stuff down in the middle of the night to try to gef it off my mind. Trazadone makes my legs so jumpy I had to stop it.

By the way my name is Jessie. If i ever get on this sure on my laptop i will tell you more about me but doing it on my phone would take forever!

You still have bp problems? I stopped my pills right after surgery and lately it has even been low.

Painted my fencing and both porches today. Took me 4 hrs non stop, except for water breaks. Looks so good, but I am so sore. I should know better, but once I got started, I couldnt stop! ;) tomorrow will probably be a day of rest as I probably wont be able to move! Weighed in at 264 this am, which is down 3 lbs since yesterday. Dont get it but I'll take it! ;) down 39 since surgery 4/22, and 74 total! Bought a xl (18/20) shirt today, and xl yoga pants. Loving that. My husband said im not allowed out of the house in the pants tho. Said I looked too good in them. I love my man!

This insomnia bs is beating Me up. Two hours of asleep is not cutting it.

Melatonin does not work for me. I'm an odd ball i guess. My pt Dr asked me today when I'm heading to the mayo since be told me most of my issues are not weight related way before i had the surgery.

HW 358 SW 344 CW 285 RNY 4/11/13<br />

I see my primary tomorrow because my blood pressure is spiking high again. She best give me something to knock me out! Lol
