I have fibromyalgia. I read that 80 percent of people with fibromyalgia have apnea. I don't know if the apnea was a factor in causing the fibromyalgia or the other way around. I know for me, my apnea and my fibromyalgia were both diagnosed after my spinal surgery. My body has absolutely not been the...

Well, I guess I'm the only idiot who sleeps through a power failure. I still don't understand it. Especially one of such a duration. I don't want to be a statistic - woman discovered dead from carbon monoxide poisoning - apnea related. I searched on line and found an audible alarm that give s an 80 ...

First, when I was getting my machine through Aetna insurance, the DME accidentally put me in with the Kaiser people for my training session. They all had M series auto machines. As soon as they realized I wasn't Kaiser, they pulled me and told me to come back next week for the other class. I pitched...

I woke up this morning and immediately had a headache as if I had been beaten with a baseball bat. I had a hard time sitting up, it was so painful and I felt so strange. When I looked over at my alarm to see what time it was, I saw the clock blinking. Hmmmm. I thought we must have had a power flicke...

Thanks, guys. That's what I thought. She responded that she knows many people that check theirs with their luggage. I can't imagine doing it, but thought maybe I'm too paranoid, maybe others ARE checking it to avoid the hassle of having them make sure it is not a bomb. I've only lost a suitcase once...

Welcome to the Board, Suz-E-Q! And I'm so happy for you that you are having such a smooth transition. I was one of the lucky ones too. My very first morning I remember waking up with the thought "So THAT is what sleep is supposed to feel like???" It's wonderful, isn't it! I hope your friend starts f...

Although he is not as tired as he use to be duing the day he will still fall asleep sometimes if he sits too long. He is so frustrated with this whole thing. It sounds like he's not really getting the full benefit of the treatment. If he is still falling asleep, still having erection difficulties, ...

The background story: I am a member of another site and someone was asking a question regarding the noise level she should expect when her husband gets his new machine. She worried she won't be able to sleep with it. There were various responses - pretty much all agreeing that it is much better than...

I am in SoCal in the middle of all these fires. My home is an older one and I never replaced the windows with the really good double pane ones. I am surprised at the amount of smoke smell entering my home. I have all windows closed, the air conditioner going with double filters, and the smell of the...

I was so bothered by his belief in the cure that I didn't feel confidant that he reviewed my medications list before prescribing the cough medication. I had the pharmacy give me their input on it too. This doctor (??) works the walk-in urgent care. We've seen him three times now. I do not think he h...

The back story: I had a really bad case of the flu for the last two weeks. I ended up going to the urgent care with fevers of over 103, just in case it had turned to pneumonia (it didn't) The doctor is one we've seen in the urgent care facility before. He commented that he wasn't going to give me an...

I ordered my hose cover from ComfortSleeves. I failed on the designer decorating scheme though. My bedroom actually IS totally coordinated - I'm a real girl in that realm, everything is matchy-matchy, but for some odd reason, I ordered (and am totally delighted with) a bright red hose cover! And the...

I get one every year, and I would get it regardless of the CPAP. I just wish I would have gotten the shot earlier this season. I am still at home from the flu that I got last week. Had I gotten the flu shot, I doubt I would have gotten this episode. This flu is a particularly bad one. I had fevers r...

I got "Velvet Rain Drops"


and for the heck of it, I put in the name I would have had if I had gone ahead with the marriage - "Panic Queen" Now that's interesting!

I think I like Velvet Rain Drops a LOT better! Much more peaceful.

At night, I typically wash my face, put some conditioner on the ends of my hair and wrap it up into a top knot. I take my night-time pills, I put my Pur Sleep on the pad, fill the humidifier, and go to sleep. In the morning, I remove the humidifier and empty it, setting it on a towel to dry. I take ...
