I have asthma/copd overlap syndrome. I've seen specialists, been evaluated and re-evaluated, am on a nebulizer and multiple inhalers. I am fairly regular as far as when I need to use my nebulizer. And this is my problem.

During the day, I need my nebulizer every 2 hours. I'm guessing it's because I am active and breathing a lot. At night, my breathing is shallower. And I wake up every 3 hours like clockwork, needing a breathing treatment. I'm not getting a good night's sleep. Nobody has suggested a CPAP machine. I have been on o2 overnight in the recent past, and it made no difference.

A month ago, I moved to a different county. (Not by choice.) Now I have to start all over, with new medical insurance, new doctors, new specialists. My old doctor told me that I am near a hospital with one of the best pulmonology departments in the state. Hoping my insurance will cover it. But until then, this lack of decent sleep is getting me down.

... who looks at DW as a whole, rather than a series of series, a bunch of individual episodes? I'm a senior citizen now, having watched the show consistently since '73, but having also seen the episodes from the beginning, except for what's lost.

To me it's mythology. How did mythology start? As a series of folk tales from many lands, tales that explained creation, existence, life, death, and what comes next. How would myths have been different if those who created them had the tools we have at their disposal? And how is Doctor Who, or Star Trek, or myriad other fictitious stories, any different from Greco-Roman myths?

This is why I cant pinpoint a favorite series, or favorite episode, or favorite Doctor. Each piece is part of an epic tale of one individual who made (and is still making) a difference.
