Re: 10 Year Anniversary! :)

I remember. Nov. 01, 2010 Exhausted by the fatigue, brain dead from hypoxia, I arrive at the sleep lab admittance desk. "How may I help you?" "I need some sleep." As a refugee, staggering from the trenchs of OSA.... desperate to know that I am not alone and to know what is this OSA and what is cpap...

Re: 10 Year Anniversary! :)

Kathy!!!! I'm glad my story can help others still. It really is a small world... it's so funny.

I have this mental image of RG's basement completely full of Headrest boxes.

Great to see you too!

Re: Work and Sleep Study Troubles

Wow. Fat-shaming on a sleep apnea board is just sad. Can we really just not support the great job RW is doing of fighting for his life and his job and his efforts to get treated? I for one applaud it. That alone can be hard. Weight loss is easier once apnea is under control - remember the effects se...

Hi Ginny. Good to see you post again and thanks for the update on your and Blarg's lives. Take care and please don't stay away so long. Best wishes, Den . Thanks so much, Den. My old M-Series APAP just hit five years old, so it's going to be time for me to shop for a new machine soon. It'd be smart...

10 Year Anniversary! :)

I believe it was 10 years ago today that I first was diagnosed with sleep apnea, and only a month later that I was on CPAP, struggling with it, and found this forum. I can't verify the exact date as my forum search history won't go back past 2005, probably when the board underwent a redesign. I know...

Re: Mask for Stomach Sleepers

Hi Joanie!!! Good to see you still around. Thanks for the ideas, Pugsy. I like the idea of the TAP PAP, but I already have to wear a dental mouthguard at night because when I started using CPAP I picked up the bad habit of grinding my teeth as subconscious mouth leak prevention, lol. I've seen what ...

Mask for Stomach Sleepers

Hi old friends (for the few of you who remember me ). I finally am down to my very last AEIOMed Headrest mask I stockpiled, and I don't know what I'm going to do when this one breaks! I've been on CPAP for 8+ years now, and this is the only mask that ever worked for me. Now that the Headrest is no l...

Re: Battery Backups - Car Battery Jumpers?

Okay, I'll just use the AC outlet and see what happens. Hopefully I can find somewhere to charge it during the day if I need to.
