BarbaraCat-
That's so funny, "Dorothy Vadar". That was my first thought about cpap... in that it sure doesn't help the sex appeal factor. I had the titration study sunday night and only got two hours of bad sleep. The dr. has recommended that I do a trial with it a bipap machine, so I going ahead with that since I'm running out of choices. Hopefully I'll do better at home.
I'm getting close to age 50 so I imagine my growth hormone levels have peaked out. After years of negleting my body I'm trying implement the common sense things like reducing stress, diet, exercise... and sleep. The sleep issue is hard because my main problem is insomnia, getting to sleep and staying asleep. So far the sleep dr. has no anwsers for that except drugs. Taking elavil and lusesta now. I was interested in xyrem,(which some use for fibro) but due to my apnea that probably won't be an option. Later I'll may consider the IGF injections. I appreciate the info, your posts are very informative.
warm regards ~ Jake
