Drug for Sleep Apnea?
MSN Health – Antidepressant Is Promising for Sleep Apnea
Maybe I’m lucky, but the CPAP doesn’t bother me at all, in fact, I really like it. the white noise blanks out any outside nice, the air flow is cool.
I will admit I don’t like the fit of my current mask, and am going to do something about that in the next few weeks.
But a drug? and worse yet, and anti-depressant? I’ve never had a good time on anti-depressants, the few times I’ve taken them.
Besides, I’m doing 6 pills a day plus insulin. i have a theory that much more than that and they all stop working….

Geek Meter
Give this a try. This is kinda of funny, I expected a higher score, but I think as I have been teaching high school I’ve become a bit less geekie. Translator fits though.
Thudfactor: Quantity over Quality.
You are 35% geek 
You are a geek liaison, which means you go both ways. You can hang out with normal people or you can hang out with geeks which means you often have geeks as friends and/or have a job where you have to mediate between geeks and normal people. This is an important role and one of which you should be proud. In fact, you can make a good deal of money as a translator. Normal: Tell our geek we need him to work this weekend.
You [to Geek]: We need more than that, Scotty. You’ll have to stay until you can squeeze more outta them engines!
Geek [to You]: I’m givin’ her all she’s got, Captain, but we need more dilithium crystals!
You [to Normal]: He wants to know if he gets overtime.

I met my new doctor today!
He does remind me of my dad. I am not sure this a good thing.
Hand is infected — he figures where the stitches are dissolving. Sent me home with a script for Ceophalexin (take that HIPPA). I dropped it off at Albertson’s — I wish they had a drive thru for this — went home, grabbed dinner — much less stressful than waiting for it. Went back, picked it up, grabbed a diet coke and a few things and when waiting in line, went ahead and took one.
The guy in line ahead of me gave me a funny look — “hey, they don’t do any good in the bottle and I want this thing fixed NOW”. Yeah, that’s what I said. He did already graciously offer me his place in front of him. Guess I looked a little impatient — and I rarely take those offered places, but did this time.
And I’m going to take a second one before I go to bed…. wonder if I can sneak in the third?

What is the chicken came before the egg?
Okay, I didn’t even know they DID research in Turkey, much less on sleep apnea … but this is interesting…
In my case, we think the sleep apnea came first…broke my jaw when I was 20.
