'War Stories'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Hubs insisted that I see an allergist and demand a sleep apnea test because I snore. The allergist said that I probably didn't have sleep apnea, but he couldn't say no definitively. He offered to schedule a sleep test, but (six months later), nobody has followed up with me on that.
I guess I just have to accept that I snore like a wildebeest (in the words of a hospital roommate).
Hair is gone! Bangs are back and hair is shoulder length which is long enough to tie up when I go to the beach. I went to DH's barber because I hate that the general hair salons insist on shampooing my hair and then using a blow dryer when they are done. Just cut it! Wetting it with a spray bottle is fine. My fine air takes approximately 2 minutes to dry without a blow dryer.
Migraine gone! Steroids in full effect! I know because they kept me up until 3AM!
Excellent! Yay steroid energy.
Begone and don't return, migraine! Ptui!
I will say that I don't normally snore (or only for a minute or two) but do have sleep apnea. The biggest difference I find with wearing my CPAP is that I don't clench my teeth at night (and then wake up with a headache). I didn't realize those were related but apparently they can be.
I use one of those mouth things for snoring, which works, and serves to keep me from grinding my teeth too. If I forget, which happens often, I wake with a sore throat which lets me know that I snored.

It doesn't seem possible, but Tim is totally cool with my snoring. When I went to Colorado for 10 days to help my brother, Tim texted me in the middle of the week to say "I miss your snoring. I find it comforting." Good thing, because I snore like a big fat old man who has swallowed a buzz saw. But no sleep apnea, AFAIK.
DH's snoring puts me to sleep if it is normal and rhythmic; if he is on his back and does the pause breathing thing I wake him up to change position. Zero chance of me getting him to do a sleep study.
I'm getting my hair cut this weekend. I keep thinking a Number 2 rake is the way to go, but I don't want to look like my MIL with her Marine hair cut.
Occasionally, if I fall asleep lying on my back, I'll snore loudly enough that I wake myself up.

That's me literally every time I sleep on my back. (Consequently, I don't sleep on my back, at least not on purpose. Sometimes I roll over onto my back and don't keep rolling to the other side, and soon enough, the buzz saw starts up.)
