Frustrated and a little frightened.
Woke up gasping, my oxygen was 87 (this is low enough to cause problems)
Now, I am on a bipap AND oxygen, so idk maybe the oxygen concentrator isn't working? or maybe I need more liters?
will call the oxygen company in the morning to get them to come out and check the equipment, if that checks out I guess its back to the effing sleep doctor

I Hope you can find something today to help
Yeah it's kind of funny, I watch the politically correct comedians in the UK who rip racist and homophobic people to bits, but in the next breath they're looking at a clip of Biden or something and making jokes about his age. If they did that about race or something else they'd be cancelled! Ironically some of them are getting older themselves, shock!
Bleh!!! Meh!!!!!! I knew I had to sleep last night so I took 70mg of amitriptyline and 6mg of diazepam and went to bed early. Normal dose for sleep for amitriptyline for sleep is 10-20mg. 6mg of diazepam was 2/3 of my daily dose on my current taper plan. I was determined not to undercook it. After 2 hours in bed I looked at the clock, I had been awake for 2 hours with a busy day today I HAD to get some sleep, so I got up and ended up taking another 6mg of diazepam, screwing my taper up and going well over my daily allowance. End result I think I managed got get 6 hours of sleep. I can't believe it's taking that amount of medication just to get to sleep. It's really not cool when I don't sleep properly as I start making mistakes that I don't realise and this jeopardises my job and income.
Also ironically, I've had 2 days unable to access my higher paying and preferred work projects so have had 2 days where I earned next to nothing. Today I've got to be out and about and can't have access to my laptop until late evening and guess what, one of the projects is sitting there in my workflow, taunting me with its availability. Unfortunately the projects go into pools and if they sit there for a while someone else will pick them up and they'll be gone.
Am hoping I don't get another mega-insomnia stretch. As for the diazepam taper, I'll just have to hope the blip doesn't reset my brain to that dose and I have to start all over again, I'd got it down to 9mg a day but then started with the sleep problems.

A similar thing happened to me one-time... So, I hope you can get it transitioned over to a new facility smoothly, and without complication! I guess in my case, it was a specialized place where they did intakes (for in patient) that was an alternative to going into the ER. But you may be referring to more your outpatient, as I understand it. And that doesn't make it any better, either. . . So good-luck, to You! :^)
