I was told that I have a very small mouth, airway, etc so that is why I have it. After I lost 40lbs I had another study to see if I could get off the machine but although I had many less episodes my oxygen level dropped to 74% while I was sleeping so on it for life. The good thing is that if I am going to be away for just 1 night I don't take it with me anymore like I used to. I used to feel horrible if I missed it for even 1 night.
I bought a recording finger oximeter, to make sure my O2 doesn't drop during the night (even though the info on my machine says it's good).....but I can't figure out the software.. Maybe some day. I know my sleep doc offered me one to use, but I'll just try to get this one up and running.
Seriously UA......try to be tested for sleep apnea. It could make a big difference how you feel.
UL, I passed an Indian restaurant at Patterson and High in Columbus and wondered if that was one of your go to places prior to this move toward healthy eating.
I am definitely stumbling. My life, without any foods that taste good, has become largely joyless. My health coach is suggesting I have a couple of exceptions; essentially he thinks I should allow myself a few foods that I like.
