No more CPAP machine

Saw sleep doc today. On closer reveiw of my sleep study, he noted that
while I stop breathing about 50 times an hour, down from three times
that a year ago, I am getting far more oxygen. That is, even with the
apnea, my oxygen intake is nearly normal.

So I'm off the CPAP machine! (http://www.sleepapnea.org/cpap.htm)

As always, YMMV.

Congrats Kasey! After taking a look at this I'm sure you're happy to be
through with it. I'm sure the sleep doc was very pleased with your
progress.

Thanks, Beverly.

On rereading this, I guess should not assume that everyone knows what
sleep apnea is and the role obesity plays in it.

This is the biggest health improvement I've had since starting this
WOL in October.

Congrats on the improvement!!

Funny you bring this up today. There was a segment on our local (small
town) news about the new sleep clinic at the hospital and how they're
treating sleep apnea. The options they listed for those affected by sleep
apnea were the CPAP machine, surgery, and two other things I can't recall -
but *none* of the suggestions were lose weight. I was appalled and
hollering at the TV. Coincidentally, the woman they interviewed (who is
being treated for apnea) worked at my school last fall as a substitute.
When I mentioned that I made it a point to exercise 30 min a day, she warned
me not to overdo it.

P.S. My sleep apnea cleared up pretty quickly after losing weight too

WTG! Huge health improvement ... apnea is awfully scary.
