I used to take medication for hypertension but after two years on CPAP and some modifications to my diet and excercise routine, I no longer need my blood pressure medication.

I've always loved writing and I finally decided to do something with it. Please read the following article I wrote and give me your HONEST opinion please. I am looking for constructive criticism here so that I can improve my skills. http://houston.broowaha.com/article.php?id=2177 Thank you Techno-Sn...

Mine comes from my love of all things technical (I am a computer systems adminstrator) and this uber cool avatar i found of this techy looking dinosaur. The name actually came to me in a dream. techno(technical) snoreus(play on words here, snore(sleep related)us instead of saurus. I'm rambling now s...

I can honestly tell you that I had GERD so severe before going on CPAP that I would sometimes vomit in my sleep. After going on CPAP, my GERD has virtually disappeared with only an occasional flare up that is easily treated with some TUMS. I would wait and see what happens with the CPAP before permi...

I have a Respironics Remstar Pro w/CFlex that was given to me and I was excited to start using it because it has a smart card, and my Remstar Plus does not. So I got it all set up with the correct pressure and CFlex settings, etc, and went to use it one night. I couldn't stand the whining noise it w...

I use a sobokawa pillow and have never had a problem sleeping on my side with my full face mask.

Catnapper, January will be two years for me on CPAP. Like many, I experienced great improvement immediately after beginning treatment. I had read that I was going to lose weight, have lots of energy, etc. Then after a few months it seemed to level off. Your body takes time to heal itself after being...

Sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't. And most of the time when it does work, it starts blowing before I have mask on securely and it's kinda annoying.

I've been Cpaping for 1 yr and 8 months now. I noticed that after the initial high wears off, you will just feel normal for a while. I'm just now starting to get the second wind part of it. I guess it just took my body that long to repair itself to the point where I needed to be. But now I'm feeling...

[quote="ladytonya"]I know that sleep apnea is a serious matter, but sheesh. Lighten up! If we can't laugh about it on here, where can we? It doesn't mean that anyone would ever have to choose, it's just a hypothetical question. For the record, I actually voted for cpap. Yeah, I know about the import...

If you could only have one, what would you give up? TV or xPAP? I would give up my TV in a heartbeat if it meant I got to keep my CPAP.

I had my tonsils removed when I was 24. It was extremely painful and my throat did not feel right for over a year. I would not recommend it to anyone.

It sounds like your driver signing is set too restrictive. Right click on your "My Computer" icon and go to properties. Click on the "Hardware" tab. In the middle there should be a button that says "Driver Signing". Click on it and make sure it is set to "Warn" or "Ignore". Thanks Techno, that did ...

At what time of day are you excercising? I have found that if I excercise close to bedtime (3 hrs or less) that I have a lot of difficulty sleeping. When I do excercise, it has to be either in the morning or afternoon.
