I'll try to keep this short but there's so much I want to include in this post. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea years and years ago. I've ignored it and just dealt with the effects of it for years. But the last 6mos have been terrible. I've gained a lot of weight, am very depressed and extremely fatigued. I can't begin to explain how tired I've been. It's become such an issue that I can't drive more than 15min or I can't watch tv with my wife. I'd just fall asleep. I had to stay moving. Caffeine wasn't even touching the surface of my fatigue. So my wife pleaded with me one evening of choking in my sleep to get a CPAP. So I did..... Last night was my first night. I had a hard time falling asleep but it looked like I fell asleep around 1130pm and slept until 430am when I removed the mask (I don't remember doing it) and then slept without the mask until 830am. But, that's 5hrs sleeping with the mask and I feel GREAT today! Is this all because of the CPAP? or am I just having a good day? I was told I had to wear the mask for awhile before noticing the difference. I have so much more energy today . I even got the jitters after having a couple cups of coffee...... I usually drink coffee like water.

I'm cautiously optimistic ... Has anyone else had quick results when starting on CPAP?

(So much for short, thanks for reading)

I claw at my legs. It's terrible. The itch feels like it's under my skin and I just itch till I reach it.... It generally opens up my skin and causes me to bleed. I must apply lotion at least 2 times a day. I use CeraVe healing ointment and it works great but leaves me greasy. Not to mention I have weeping on my legs. Every time I scratch open my legs it generally causes moisture to seep through and becomes a healing issue.

Are you itchy? What do you do to stop?

I have multiple weeping ulcers on my leg that I've been treating for months. Ive been applying desitin to the wounds to try to dry them out and it seemed to be working for some of the wounds but apparently not this particular one. I noticed today I had blood soaked through my compression sock. I took my compression sock off to investigate and my skin on this ulcer is paper thin. I literally poked a hole through my skin and bled pretty heavily for 15min. . I got the bleeding to stop and I have the ulcer wrapped with my leg elevated but idk what to do. Does this need to be treated at the hospital? I was reading I probably did this by using the desitin..... The lymph fluid mixes with the desitin and keeps the skin soggy. I've been applying for a few weeks now so it makes sense. I'm hoping that if I just keep it wrapped and dry it'll heal up?

Has anyone ever experienced anything like this .

Basically, when things feel like they’re going off the rails, it gives everyone a common "enemy" to complain about. Even if people disagree on politics, they start to agree on the fact that life is getting too expensive or too stressful. It’s like a "misery loves company" situation, when everyone is dealing with the same headaches, the old arguments between neighbors matter less than the shared desire to just get things back to normal. In a weird way, the chaos forces people who usually don't talk to each other to team up because they’re all tired of the noise.

I think the only ones left standing will be a smaller percentage of MAGA and the majority will be able to voice them out.

I'm kinda new to this. I've been slowly moving down all the avenues of tests trying to figure out what's going on with my left leg. Have had all my veins up and down checked and arteries checked and heart checked and all good and being referred to a lymph clinic with the final diagnosis seeming to be lymphedema. I've been reading the posts on here and I don't see much ever said about cellulitis. This is a constant issue for me. I've had it 4x in a year and I'm writing this because I think I have it again and I'm fed up. I'm told it's cause the fluid isn't moving but I'm doing everything I'm being told to do. My leg is wrapped to above my thigh. I keep my leg elevated. I exercise and still get cellulitis. I fear there's more to this than just lymphedema but honestly I'm probably being paranoid...... I do that ..... Anybody else with frequent cellulitis?

I put in a notice of resignation about 5 weeks ago. I was immediately called and was asked to not quit and to just take some time off and really think about my decision.

At that moment I wish I just said "sorry, but it's not going to work out" but I caved and said "I'd think about it. "

Well, here we are 5 weeks later and have had no communication since that phone call and I'm still receiving my salary. No emails....no texts .... No mail...nothing

What do I do? Should I ride this out? Pay them back the money? I'm not sure if I could get into some kind of trouble ...... Or just pretend I've been thinking about it this whole time and officially quit? I would have thought after a week of no communication they would have gotten the point but 5 weeks later?
