I really hate having Chiari Malformation Type 1 & Apnea. When I had my appointment with my sleep study doctor on 12/29/2014 and I did bring in my data card from my BiPAP machine and she got the info. from the card and it said that I need to set-up an appointment for a sleep study test to change the setting on the machine so it can help manage in what obstructive/central apnea that I still have when I was on the big side and before I had my Decompression Surgery. Although the data on the card also says that my apnea has gotten better since I had my VSG surgery in June of 2010 & my Decompression Surgery that I had done in March of 2014. Also depends on how much damage the Chiari has done I may have apnea for the rest of my life, I hope that's not the case. I hope when I go in for the sleep study test and with the new setting I hope it helps manage with the rest of my apnea and get ride of it, if not I hope something comes along that would get ride of the problem with this Chiair I have. I hope and wish for a cure for Chiari real soon. Having Chiari is hell for me and other people that have Chiari. Me and other people that have Chiari wishes for a cure one of these days and I hope that's going to happen in the near future. I do have a sleep study test on 01/06/2015. Wish me luck everyone. I need it.

Oh yeah! I forgot to say that I have sleep apnea for at least for 20 plus years now. I wish for it to go away. I don't want it for the rest of my life.
