Well, that was an interestig read. Not encouraging. Years ago I had a sleep study and got a CPAP machine. Only used it for a while and then it got to be too much of a pain. So more recently I kept waking up with panic attacks and have to get up cause I was so freaked out. March 1 I ended up in the hospital with my 3rd incident of cellulitis in my leg. Same leg. Last 2 times was in 2004. And a repeat of blood clots (2nd & 3rd layer of skin pulled away from each other and sent blood clots out) into my lungs. Happened the 2nd time I had cellulitis. I have very bad asthma so this all was terrible for my lungs. Now I have COPD. And have a BIPAP machine (mini ventilator for force breathing in and out) and this big oxygen condensor to give me O2 to help me keep breathing and keep the O2 level up to stop this mess in my legs which do not get enough circulation. And I have to keep my diabetis under control. I am a systems analyst, been doing this kind of work since 1976. I love the job, knowing how computer systems work and finding problems. And it pays well. I am 62 and hope to keep working for 2 to 4 more years. I wonder how many brain cells I have left. My Sweetie needs a CPAP machine also but so far has resisted. I sent her the link to that article. Thanks. I wish it was more positive. Ahavia
