Actually you owe me 6! But who's countin?

both of my forearms feel like they are sore but I have no idea why. This has been going on for maybe a month now. My current theory is that it is some form of mismatch between desk height, chair arm rest height, and chair height of my work desk or home desk or both.

Ever since my September Sojourn in the hospital I've had to deal with the constant fear that, any time I feel itchy, it's actually my bilirubin levels creeping back up (they were really high and one of the effects of a high billy level is that you get take-a-belt-sander-to-your-skin itchy).

Insomnia is cool because if you don't get enough sleep you're probably going to increase your chances of getting alzheimers but if you take a lot of sleeping medications you're also going to increase your chances of getting alzheimers. Luckily thinking about how important sleep and the fact that you're not getting enough is is a great way to fall asleep easier.

i can't loving sleep with the cpap

on a good night with the cpap, i get two or three hours of sleep, and it only cuts the number of incidents by 3/4ths, which is ... not great.

the doctors want me to do a sleep study with the cpap to prove that central apnea is the major problem, so i that i qualify for some surgical implant thing, but since i can't reliably fall asleep or stay asleep, i can't very well do the sleep study

the only reason i stick with it is that 3 hours with the cpap is roughly equivalent to 10 hours without it, so even though my success rate is <50%, and i rarely get more than 3-4 hours, it's still worth it when it works :(

what kind of mask do you use? i’m good at keeping my mouth shut (for real!) so i use the one that only has the little but that goes under your nose and the hose is at the top of your head. doesn’t bother me much at all.

i changed masks a couple times

turns out that despite the fact that i am a mouthbreather at night, a mask that only touches my nose is fine because if i open my mouth, the incredibly unpleasant sensation will prompt me to stop

so now i wear some itty bitty thing that looks a lot like the oxygen nozzles that people with lung disease wear, except with a corrugated hose

the original mask design mandated for mouthbreathers was agony. just, horrifying. i'd wake up strangling several times a night. what a disaster

edit: also, just in general, using a cpap feels a lot like drowning. it's physically extremely unpleasant to have air rammed down your airway by positive pressure
