Mari,

I feel for you as I feel the same way about not wanting the machine. I've also been told to have to sleep study done many years ago. I believe it is my sinuses draining thick mucus that closes up my breathing system. I don't mean to sound gross but to me that is better for me personally to think is wrong with me than to worry about what you are worrying about. I sometimes think we know more about our medical problems than the docs do. I've never discussed my theory with a doc which maybe I should. I do grind my teeth also at times but not too often. I never thought that it could be maybe my Ativan that does it. I hardly take mine.

Hugs to you,
