Phew! I couldn't remember where this post was ... thanks, Noa.
My apnea has come back with a vengeance over the last week. I kept waking up in the middle of the night, had trouble falling back to sleep, girlfriend was pounding on me again (of course, it takes a week before she tells me, "You're not really snoring -- it sounds more like you're gasping for air"). Yesterday was a doozy ... almost lost consciousness in the middle of a 5 person meeting. Got back to my office and got nailed. It's so weird ... it's not like I feel really tired so I decide to take a nap, and its not like I'm passing out (but very close to it). I'll be wide awake one second, and the next thing I know I'm closing my office door and clearing my desktop, then BOOM ... out go the lights for 45 minutes to an hour or so. To make matters worse, the inhalent my GP prescribed for me that worked so well a year ago is on backorder, hasn't been available for months, and may not be available for months! Ack! 8^P So while my I'm waiting for my GP to answer my phone message, I thought I'd do a little research to see what sort of non-pharmaceutical measures I could take.
