Cpap

I went in for my second sleep study on Tuesday night. I guess I am one of the lucky ones and was able to adapt to the CPAP extremely well. Instead of my usual 5 - 6 times to the restroom, I only had one, and had a very good nights sleep. I kept waiting to crash yesterday, but I never did. I was awake and alert the whole day. I talked to my VA clinic yesterday. i actually had one appointment moved to next Wednesday. The nurse told me to bring in copioes of the sleep study and the scrip and they would fax it in for review for me to get a CPAP. I used a private pulmonologist. That sped up the process of the sleep study.

Husker,

Congrats to you! A PAP machine is one of the few "instant solutions" to a problem.

Life just got a whole lot better!

"I kept waiting to crash yesterday, but I never did. I was awake and alert the whole day. "

That's pretty much what happened to me.

After several years on the cpap and bi-pap they restudied me and said that I did not have obstructive apnea anymore.

During the new study I used the bi-pap throughout the test, DUH.

I would check on it later and look for the symptoms.
