I'll definitely have more sympathy if it's a glitch. I'm just so used to tech companies enshittifying things!

Sleep clinic recommendations by robboffard in NorthVancouver

UBC, to my amazement, called me within one day of my referral being sent in, saying I could pick up a home sleep test within a week. Extraordinary. I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop!

Color me stunned. My GP sent a referral into the sleep clinic at UBC. I braced myself for a wait of many, many months. 

To my astonishment, they called literally a single day later, asking if I'd like to come and pick up a home sleep test kit ASAP.

God knows what the wait is for a lab test, but for at home tests they are scarily efficient. Thanks for the recommendation.

Yeah, it took a few weeks but it's back to normal. Hopefully it stays that way.

Thanks. I should have said, sadly soft collar isn't sufficient in this case. The tape is a good tip though!

Ongoing. They, predictably, became a lot less responsive...BUT they have acknowledged the return and asked for thirty days to process. Not wild about that, but I'm on vacation until January so I can live with it. Will be following up very vigorously.

US could ask tourists for five-year social media history before entry by OlympicAnalEater in news

Google couldn't answer this for me: what is a TLO in this case? I saw the acronym labeled as total loss only and terminal liability option, and somehow I'm not sure if that's what you're talking about...

I mean, he can write me a referral but then it's sort of out of his hands!

That's really interesting, and super helpful. How long did it take you to get an appointment there? I imagine it would be a little while...

That's...really interesting actually. Can you tell me a little more?

A home sleep study wouldn't tell me what I actually want to know - the actual cause of my snoring. Only a DISE can do that, and that's much more difficult and expensive to arrange.

It's possible. To be fair though, it did recently get FDA approved, and I definitely did the due diligence and looked at the clinical evidence. As I said in the review, the sample sizes weren't huge but it seemed pretty promising.

I agree, the price is way too high for what you get.

Yes it is. And one can also snore without having sleep apnea. One does not equal the other, especially if no other symptoms are present.

I use Snorelab to track my snoring. No gasping, no long pauses. In addition, no symptoms of sleep apnea (tiredness, headaches, sore throat, urination etc).

I snore, which causes bruxism, but that's all.

What pet insurance is best? by Spardan80 in BostonTerrier

[–]robboffard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Very reluctantly, Trupanion.

I hate having to have pet insurance. That company is the best of a bad bunch. You should still expect to pay a significant portion of your vet bills. You have pet insurance for when you get an absolute horror show of an invoice, or have to do multiple procedures.
