Re: Where A CPAP Newbie Should Start

This is great. Thank you! Have one favor, if anyone has this information available: the website for sleepyhead. I've been looking for it for awhile the a.m. and maybe I'm blind or something but I can't find it here. I don't want to google - I want the one YOU guys recommend. Thanks in advance.[/quot...

Re: OT - trying to quit smoking

Congrats 2flamingos! I quit smoking 12 years ago, I was a heavy smoker (45 cigarettes a day), it took me about 3 months with the patch to stop craving for smoking, and a year to stop dreaming that I was smoking. No need to say that I feel much better now and I can spend my money in a much better way

Re: Elevation Effects on Sleep Apnea

Back for a two month vacation at 5500 ft, I just spent my first night, very little leakage and again, the tidal volumes (max, 90%, median) dropped by more than 10%.

Re: Elevation Effects on Sleep Apnea

My average AHI is exactly the same where I live (at 200 ft above sea level) and over a 19 day stay at 5500 ft.
The only differences I noticed are lower pressures and tidal volumes when I'm at 5500 ft.

The word "essential" comes from "essence" which stands for "extract"

Of course, in "essential oil", "essential" has nothing to do with "absolutely necessary".

NEVER check your CPAP!!! Like your Rx meds (and electronics), it has to travel with you.

Re: Mixing head gear

Try shortening the too long parts of the straps with velcro.
