Dr. Rach and I were now in sync as to who was presenting what and our talks were well received. Following the presentations there was a panel made up of me, Dr. Gerald Rach an ENT, Dr. Ramon Echague Coleman a Pulmonologist (and a graduate of a US medical school who will sit for the Sleep Medicine Boards in November) and Dr. Jean-Jamil Rojer the Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon graduate of Howard University. The questions included several on the topic of sleep in general - a topic I covered.
My hosts were pleased with the turn out at both meetings and are hopeful about the future of sleep apnea therapy on the island.
For me I am honored to have been asked to speak and hope that my participation contributes in some fashion to improvement of how sleep apnea is diagnosed and treated.
I let everyone know that I am interested in a continuing relationship with patients and physicians alike - and look forward to returning in the near future :)

It is not often that I see a rainbow, but this morning was one of those times... a good sign.

I am just curious, do you know of anyone that has cured sleep apnea through a new mattress? I know it sounds crazy but my mattress is really old and I have been looking at mattress reviews at http://www.qmattresses.com/ and I keep wondering if more support would help....
Great picture, and story.
Great post. Congratulations and keep up the good work.
Really it is a nice blog. You have provided lot useful resources for sleep help. Thanks for such a great share.
Sleep disturbances can be treated by many methods. Mild and moderate sleep apneas can be treated at home by using some home remedies and some life style changes. Quit Smoking, lose Weight, avoid alcohol, maintain strict sleep schedule, use nasal drops.
It's worth talking to a professional if you're having sleep problems. i appreciate people like you, thanks.
