Well, there is something very interesting happening at low pressures, but I should probably post that on a different thread, along with my oximetry comparisons. I don't know the custom here on apneaboard: should I add to my initial (epic 15-page) thread? Start a new one?
Seeing a counselor is a good idea simply because I have mild PTSD from being ill for 26 years. My husband has it too, from witnessing my illness. I have not had the luxury yet: I've been doing crisis management for my Dad and I'm his POA.
After we moved him last year to a different Alzheimer's facility, I decided 2018 was the year for me to see conventional docs, mainly for more diagnostic information, since their treatments never wind up being "well tolerated" in my case. The exception is an antiviral medication that targets EBV; I had a meningeal infection 26 years ago. It's a common trigger for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis.
Now I'm exhausted from too many grueling medical encounters. Obviously, some of these docs were excellent. Others just want to bounce me around. The only doc I still might find useful would be a laryngologist. All we have are ENTs in our town, so I'll have to make do, or go 2 hours to Bozeman.
