Sorry I was the guest! lol I forgot to log in. Anyway thanks again.

In my research on sleep apnea, sleep clinics and DMS's I ran across this website that gives a lot of helpful information on what sleep apnea is, on diagnosis, and on options for treatment.

My md has been really good about writting perscriptions for anything I have needed and I have gone from straight c-pap to vpap with lots of problems inbetween. My pressure is 20 and the DMS people started me off with their cheapest machine and mask (I found out later). I kept pushing and complaining...

I'm surprised no one else is posting on this because in almost every post subject I find someone upset with sleep lab people or DMSs. Is there proof that DMSs are padding their pockets at our expense? Has a study been done on this? I am not on anyones side I just am very curious to know.

Is this a recent thing? I have just been diagnosed since February this year and when I started researching and joining forums I started running across this. I even found there to be some animosity between my sleep clinic people and my DMS!

Why is there such animosity between us and them?

Symptom #1 - Sometimes I wake up in the morning and I have a dull ache in my chest. It lasts for a couple of hours and then goes away. I have had this symptom a few times after I started c-pap I think it is because of the high pressure, mine is 20, I think it was my lungs getting use to so much air....

Its his money why do you have to be such a jerk about it. Everyone has to start the learning process somewhere or were you just born knowing it all?

My medical supple person, who also uses cpap himself, told me to just soak mask and hose in 1 part vinegar to 3 parts water for 20 minutes then rinse and dry.

Heidi I'm praying for your complete recovery. GOD bless you.

I have only been using the bipap for about a week. It took two months to convince my doctor that I needed one because I was having problems with bloating and feeling very uncomfortable. That is slowly going away not, thank goodness.

I am curious to how many people on this forum have to use a pressure of 18 or higher? I have to use the pressure of 20 and went to a bi-level that ramps down to 10 on breathing out but I still feel the resistance. Because of allergys and asthma I have to use a full face mask which I can deal with. A...

Hi I am new to cpap . I have just been using it for a couple of months. I started out with a nasal mask that pumped up to seal but my nose got really congested and I had to quit. I also am a mouth breather. I next tried the breeze with the nose pillows and a chin strap. It was good for a bit then my...
