Vickey, I think we have the same uterus! LOL. I had almost the exact same thing wrong with me, and will be getting the mirena iud next month. How is it for you so far? To be honest, I'm scared of getting the iud, I feel weird about having a foreign thing implanted in my uterus and possible side effects.

It took me about 3 months.I had to go back for a different mask then had to modify my new mask with sticky foam to prevent air leaks. Once I adjusted to the mask I could really tell the difference in my sleep quality. Word of warning- wear the CPAP every night. My husband was sick and complained about the noise and the air blowing on him so I stopped using the CPAP so he could sleep. It was just as hard to re-adjust to using the machine the second time. Next time he was sick he slept in another room. My sis is just about to go through a sleep study. Her doc thinks she needs a mask. "but,I don't snore" she said, "yes, you do" we said. If you have more questions I'll be glad to help you out. I am offically released from wearing the mask now.

"Cattle car waits "   How odd.  A Canadian friend and I were visiting Sydney a while back. My friend became ill on a Friday night. I was able to get on line and book an appointment with her at a local clinic near our hotel for the following morning. No line up at all.  And I don't know Sydney particularly well.And it was a busy family clinic in the center of the city. There are clinics which only "bulk bill" (ie charge Medicare rates) and there are clinics which charge higher fees(except to people who are on government pensions or disability).  Medicare pays the base fee and the individual pays the "gap."   Many people, with or without insurance, are quite happy to pay the gap fee and get quick service. The gap fee runs around $30 - $60 for a GP visit depending on the length of the visit. Bulk billing, walk in clinics in major cities may well have line ups (I daresay there are similar lineups in inner city New York or Philadelphia), but the clinics I've used, in 3 states and 4 cities, operate  by appointment, even the ones that do bulk bill.    This notion of cattle car service is about as accurate as the notion that every American has full insurance coverage and immediate access to top flight health care.  And in fact, in the studies I've cited in the past, while countries like Australia and Canada do have waiting lists for public health care, access in general is still better than in the US. I am about done with Elmer and his"Australian friends". I didn't intend this to become another personal debate coloured by inaccuracy and animus. I raised the subject of the bowel screening program as an example of what I think is an effective public health measure that extends screening for colorectal cancer to a broader range of people.  Nothing more. I don't dispute that colonoscopies are the gold standard, but they are simply not accessible to everyone for a whole lot of reasons. Not here, not in the US. Bowel screening is much more accessible and picks up a significant number of cases, often early enough for treatment.  Never forget that the pursuit of excellence is often the enemy of the good.  That adage applies here.
