I wanted to thank all of you wonderful people out there for your support and advise. i also wanted to update you all on my progress. For a little while I contemplated jumping off the Narrows bridge{ for all those not native to Washington State, that is a very tall bridge} However, that was a desperate and fleeting thought. I read through most of the forums, and decided that i was going to find a doctor who would listen to me- I did- I went to neurologist- long story short, went to consult with first E.N.T- didnt care alot for bedside manner or should I say lack of one, he rec. septo/turbino+uppp. He wanted to stage out the procedures. I went for second opinion - doc # 2 agreed with the diagnosis of doc #1 , however he felt having them done at once would be easier on me and more than likely yeild the same result. So I am checking into the hospital 6/21/07. I am nervous, but its been a long desperate journey, so although I am afraid, I am optimistic. I hope this will allow me to use and tolerate my cpap at the very least. I will keep you posted, and please ,any experiences you have had - please share with me. Knowledge is power! I have another post on the non cpap forum also. Thanks again people, I dont feel alone anymore.
