Blood tests today. Pray my INR is up so I can stop the stomach injections. I am out of them anyway. If I need more they will have to give me one and supply some more.

Uhhhhhhhhh... I got my blood testing results from 1998. I am taking them with me. Maybe they will see something. *shrugs*

CPAP

Postby darylscook » March 28th, 2008, 10:29 am

I love my CPAP, It wasn't dramatic for me when I started using it. Its was for a few of my friends, but after a week or two, I noticed my extreme drowsiness in the afternoons had dissappeared and I could drive on long trips without going to sleep.

I have the heated humidifier, but I only use it when I am already sick and it helps clear my sinuses.

It definately makes a difference. Unfortunately for me, I have a $1000 deductable which kicked in for the sleep study :cry: but at least I am not depriving myself of oxygen at night.

My INR was 1.3! :roll: They upped my coumadin again. They said they have never had such a high dose or difficult time getting someone in the "therapeutic range." :? I go back Monday to get checked again.

I got another weeks supply of stomach injections. :evil:

I get insurance in 3 days...

Your not depriving me of my sleep either!!!! 8)
It used to take me forever to go to sleep :roll: unless I went to sleep before him (which was almost never). I think I got just a much benefit as he did from the machine. I would stay awake and listen to him breathe (well...really it'd be not breathe). Pretty scary! And the snoring was HORRIBLE, just ask the guys from camp. The CPAP has really helped a lot!

The lack of oxygen can cause blood clots. :?

The lack of Oxygen can cause alot of problems!

and Yes the snoring is MUCH better. I told the campers last year (first year I had it at came (we work the young kids camp 7-10) I told them "those of you who were with me last year should know, this will keep me from snoring, and a I got a few thank you's on that one!

Just be sure to show it to the kids and explain, coming in after a nightmare to Mommy or Daddy with a big hose on their face could be tramatic!
