Had another one today. Man, those hurt. Coming out of one feels like I've been sitting on the bottom in the deep end of a pool a little too long, then coming up too fast.
Good news is I got word from NYU about a study. Worrisome news is that it's medication-based -- I'm just concerned that taking an SSRI, a TCA, a Benzo, a cholesterol buster, and steroid inhalants (though that's for the apnea as well, and I'm sure I'd have to drop it for the study) might rule me out.
Well, anyway, I've got a nice big German Shepard who likes to curl up right behind my legs when I sleep on my side, and that position keeps me breathing quietly.
