  1. we treat mild to low moderate apnea in our office with mandibular sleep devices.  I mostly do mild apnea, but I'll make appliances for someone in the moderate range if they feel they can't wear the cpap at all, or want on for travel.

     

    I think the story @Neo describes is important.  those multiple episodes per hour are dangerous.  look up an apnea video, and it's shocking to watch someone gasp for breath.  the thought it everyone of those episodes pumps cortisol into your system, and those constant spikes are assumed to lead to heart attacks.  this is why we hear stories about people dying in their sleep due to apnea.  also as @Neo mentioned, looking for signs of grinding can help with the diagnosis.  when you grind, you teeth have to meet.  this means the mandible isn't resting passively on your airway, reducing the number of episodes.  

     

    i took some courses from a guy in florida about it.  this dude has two practices where the only dentistry he does is sleep apnea.

    Although not someone of significance in my life I do remember her in Eurotrip and it's just sad to see someone that young pass away so was kinda shocked to hear about it.  RIP

    that's where i recognize her from!  i only could tell who she was from one picture listed.  good call.

    Dude, have you ever transmitted class3 level NSA documents from your phone at the gym?  Do you have any idea how stressful that is?  When someone gets in your space while you're transmitting top secret government docs from the squat rack all options are on the table.  I have shot putted kettlebells at peoples heads and discus tossed plates at knee caps in the name of national security.

    more plates...more dates!

    totally the right way to be, I'm the same. As a teenager I'd get enraged by this team, as a middle aged man I get angry during the game, then the next day just shrug and go to work

    we have no control, so what can you do?  it's a game after all.  once it starts ruining my day, week, month, etc...i'm done.

    I didn't know Rochester even had an airport..........are they still using the old bi-planes?

    oddly enough, rochester has one of the best small market airports...https://10best.usatoday.com/awards/travel/best-small-airport-2024/

     

    everything is newly updated, clean and efficient.  the state just keeps giving the money for improvement, so they keep upgrading.  i love flying in and out of it due to ease...it's just expensive.
