Vickie, is there a portable battery operated cpap machine? Pardon my ignorance if not, as I don't know much about sleep apnea.

As for taking pills, I try and shy away from them as everything effects me to the extreme. It probably is because I am so short and there isnt much of me. When I took the seasickness patch, I hallucinated and saw trails, for example. Most pain pills make me thow up.
I can take valium with no side effects but will that make me fall asleep? I don't want to end up like Karen Ann Quinlan if I have a glass of wine with the valium either.

How safe are drugs like ambien?
