  1. Personal: I snored. I kept waking up, dry throat. I was tired during the day. I went to a sleep study. I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea. I was recommended to start treatment with a CPAP machine. In a month, my snoring stopped completely. I now sleep the whole night. My throat is no longer aching and dry when I wake up. My blood pressure is now not high. I don't feel tired during the day. Everything is connected, listen to how you feel, get expert feedback. This may have prevented future heart failure (as I'm not with high pressure anymore), mental health issues (my brain now gets oxygen while I sleep), my body recharges.

  3. 😴L’ipopnea notturna riduce il flusso d’aria durante il sonno, compromettendo riposo e salute. Riconoscere i sintomi è fondamentale per intervenire tempestivamente. Approfondite le differenze con l’apnea e le soluzioni disponibili : erbolarium.it/ipopnea/ #Sonno #Apnea

    Well, today was interesting. See the attached chart. Guess where I am on the chart. Hint: The answer and the story suggest that Everett-Wheeler worlds might be real.

    I spent Tuesday afternoon, March 31, 2026, traveling to get the results from a recent overnight sleep test. There was one surprise.

    I have sleep apnea. A lot of people do. Perhaps you or a family member are one of them.

    The condition ranges from minor to fatal. This is what Princess Leia died of, though it's not as direct as that. The condition places stress on the cardiovascular system. That can be enough to finish you by itself. Or other conditions can step in. If that happens, that's all she wrote.

    I have an "interruptions per hour" number that is classified as "severe". This means that I'll need to get a #CPAP machine again. The number isn't a surprise. I've had a sleep study and a CPAP before [in the 2010s].

    But my night-time oxygen saturation level is so low that I've probably already died. Here's the thing: I've most likely been at the level discussed further down for 5 years. I'm not sure that that is possible.

    So, I might be living in an Everett branch. People who have read about the Copenhagen Interpretation, Schrödinger's Cat, and Everett-Wheeler are familiar with the concept.

    My number "indicates severe hypoxemia". This leads to "rapid and catastrophic declines in tissue oxygenation. One result is organ damage. The heart tries to compensate for hypoxemia by increasing cardiac output, leading to tachycardia, arrhythmias, and, in chronic cases, pulmonary hypertension and right-sided heart failure."

    My case is chronic. This suggests that I'm already pushing up daisies. So, that's great.

    I'm supposed to get oxygen "immediately". It's classified as an emergency. But I don't think that I'm supposed to go to the E.R. This leaves the question of where I should go to get the oxygen. I see that Walmart sells portable oxygen concentrators, but I'm not sure that that's the same thing.

    My specialist's office said that they didn't "vend" and that they didn't know where to go to get the oxygen.

    Note: To be clear, the key people at the office were patient and as helpful as possible. I have no complaint about that.

    My #HMO, presently one of the Blue Shield plans, should know. But I've been trying to reach my "clinical care coordinator" at the HMO for a full month as of this week.

    Note: The care coordinator is the person that you're supposed to speak with for issues that will require more than one phone call.

    I know that my care coordinator, Edgar, is receiving my voicemails. However, he's only tried to call me back once.

    A few hours ago, I spoke with a nice HMO Member Services person, Claudia. She said that she'd try to get a "care navigator", the level below care coordinator, to phone me tomorrow [April 01, 2026].

    The care navigator might try to help. It'll be April Fools Day. I'm not sure if that's a positive sign or not.

    After the HMO call, I fell asleep for two hours. Two-hour naps are common for me. Now, here I am, ready to fedi. I'll fedi on my dedi until sleep again is ready.

    I have a few people in IRC tonight as well as the fedi dedi. A jug of water. Hydration is good. There's an apple a few yards away. I'm set for a couple of hours. I appreciate the basics these days.

  6. "undiscovered wilderness, the planet’s last great frontier.
    There are no mobile phones down there, no e-mails, no
    tweeting, no twerking, no car keys to lose, no terrorist
    threats, no birthdays to forget, no penalties for late credit
    card payments, and no dog shit to step in before a job
    interview. All the stress, noise, and distractions of life are left at the surface. The ocean is the last truly quiet place on Earth." Deep (2014), by James Nestor

  7. Para las personas que tengan que usar CPAP, hace unos meses hice una reparación en la silicona de la máscara de mi hermano, que acá el repuesto lo cobran como 10 u 11mil pesos. La goma de silicona es tan fina que luego de unos meses se raja como en la segunda foto. En la tercera foto se ve como queda una reparación hecha con un pedacito de tela de algodon empapada en pegamento de silicona neutra (fastix) transparente. Hay que empapar la tela, poner un poco de silicona en la tela, doblar la tela y apretarla para que salga por los poros de la misma y masajearla para que se meta entre las fibras. luego se aplica una pequeña capa de silicona en la rotura y se deposita la tela embadurnada en la misma silicona y luego otra capita de silicona por encima como para tapar todas las fibras y que quede suave. Se deja secar un dia. La tela le da resistencia mecánica que solo con silicona no se logra. Probé con varios pegamentos pero la mayoría no adhiere a ese tipo de silicona de la máscara. Esa reparación lleva muchos meses impecable y ahora esa misma máscara se rompió en otro lado y en unos días voy a hacer la misma reparación. También mi hermano tiene otra máscara que también se rompió a la altura de la barbilla y también la reparé de la misma manera. No queda lindo a la vista, pero anda impecable y te ahorra 10mil pesos. Tambien se puede conseguir el repuesto original por 30 o 40 dolares en eBay. Si alguien tiene una máscara rota, con gusto la puedo reparar o guiarlos en el proceso #cpap #diy #repair #reparar #fix #apnea #apneadelsueño

  9. There is a specific kind of silence that only exists below 10 meters. No notifications, no talking, just the sound of your own heartbeat slowing down.

    We disconnect from the world to reconnect with ourselves. Who else is chasing that silence this weekend?

  10. New research reveals that people with untreated obstructive sleep #apnea have a higher risk of developing #Parkinson’s disease. However, they can significantly reduce the risk by improving the quality of their sleep by using continuous positive airway pressure, or #CPAP

  12. I got a sleep apnea machine, but I didn't realize I would need to buy distilled water for the very 1st night...

    I guess I'm starting tomorrow night lol.

  14. I have sleep #apnea , pretty bad. I need a #CPAP but the instant I put one on I go into a full-blown panic attack from the air blowing in my face. I can't breathe that way. When I used t oride motorcycles with my parents, I needed a full-face helmet a all times. Thus, no CPAP.

    Today I learned about an implant that can replace a CPAP and I REALLY want it. I need to talk with my doctor ASAP.

  15. Dicentrarchus punctatus, Baila

    Pertenece a la familia Moronidae y, aunque normalmente es un pez raro de observar en nuestras costas, este verano lo hemos visto con bastante abundancia todos los días en Almuñécar – La Herradura

    Baila es un pez costero de cuerpo plateado y brillante, muy parecido a la lubina en tamaño y forma, pero punteada

  16. Leucothea multicornis
    👉Una especie de ctenóforo, aunque parecen medusas pertenecen a otro filo y carecen de células urticantes. En cambio, poseen coloblastos: células adhesivas que les permiten capturar presas
    👉Se desplazan mediante minúsculas paletas natatorias que reflejan destellos multicolor bajo la luz del sol

  17. Pelagia noctiluca una acompañante habitual en nuestras inmersiones en la costa tropical; es una de las medusas más bellas y peligrosas del mediterráneo

    👉 Es bioluminiscente gracias a una proteína para ahuyentar depredadores o atraer presas

    👉 Sus tentáculos pueden medir más de 3 metros y su picadura es dolorosa, las sensación es como un calambrazo

    👉 Un consejo: admirar siempre desde la distancia, posicionarnos al lado contrario de dónde va la corriente y nunca detrás o debajo de los tentáculos

  18. Los ctenóforos casi parecen visitantes de otro mundo: son gelatinosos transparentes e iridiscentes cuando la luz se refleja en ellos

    👉 No es una medusa, aunque lo parezca: se mueve gracias a filas de diminutas paletas natatorias

    👉 Es inofensivo para las personas, sus células especializadas por las que consiguen alimentos se llaman coloblastos, funcionan a modo de adhesivos para capturar presas pequeñas y no son urticantes

    👉Si te lo encuentras nada con cuidado pues es delicado y cualquier movimiento brusco o golpe de aleta hará que se deshaga

  23. CPAP week 1 passed with no major issues. I've been using it all night long and getting high scores from the Bluetooth connected app. Feeling less drowsy in afternoons too. Some minor tickling irritation of my nose while I'm using it, and the first couple exhales require more force, but otherwise good. A lot of people have a horrible time with these gadgets. I guess I feel lucky! #CPAP #ObstructiveSleepApnea #sleep #apnea #therapy

  27. Three More Good Things

    1. I just discovered the hashtag #ShareGoodThingsToo

    2. A consultation with an #apnea specialist thinks my issues can be largely addressed non surgically — and I learned a lot about how the nasal cavity can be involved with apnea, not just the throat and mouth

    3. My frozen shoulder from September is nearly completely healed (aka thawed) and I can put my coat on with hardly any pain

  30. @samhainnight

    For me, my apnea became bad enough that it was like each time I dozed off, it felt like a gremlin would slowly pinch off my throat and suffocate me.

    It was just the anatomy of my throat.

    I never found any way to prevent apnea through positioning or a pillow.

    The first time I tried a CPAP, the slight positive pressure held my airway open, and I was able to sleep fully and wake rested.

  34. Another example:

    Sleep apnea causes hypersomnia SYMPTOM. When properly treated with the specific apnea appointed treatments done right, like CPAP, sometimes surgeries, lifestyle changes etc. the symptom improves as the primary issue improves.

    Most people with apnea do improve when they find the right way to treat the issue.

    If the hypersomnia persists when apnea improves - THEN there is no known explanation, and IH can be diagnosed.

  37. On the upside, at least I have scientific data to show that, in fact, I really did not sleep well today. No wonder I found myself wide awake, short of breath, every 2 hours for the first half of the day's sleep. It hasn't been this bad in a long time.
