Thought you might find this funny - GreyParrot - 03-28-2014
I posted part of this in another forum and thought some of you might
find this funny. As you know I self-diagnosed and am self-treating.
It took me many years to finally connect all the dots enough to
make a decision to find out about OSA here was one of the motivating
"clues".
I only started to connect the dots because of snoring. The really funny thing is that for years I had an irresistible need to nap in the daytime. I have an African Grey parrot that "napped" with me. She picked up my snoring pattern. These birds imitate speech and sounds very accurately. Anytime I sat down in my "nap chair" to watch TV, she would "snore" complete with the snort and gasp of a good long apnea event. I'd yell at her to stop so we could watch TV because she'd do it over and over. That was a big final part of the start of my search about sleep apnea. My wife said "See, Chelsea is copying your snoring. That's what I have to listen to." That was just another puzzle
piece.

Hi greyparrot,
Sounds like your parrot really got you on the right track.

Since so many doctors just parrot, why shouldn't parrots doctor?

ROFLMAO... I just noticed this comment. After reading about some
of the docs not listening, it sure fits.
