Re: In trouble at Sleep Doc
doctors with booze and drug problems who are still practicing, doctors with depression problems and they are not treating their depression adequately enough with meds to continue doing a good job at work, excessively greedy doctors whom love the money they make but cant stand their patients. There ...

Re: In trouble at Sleep Doc
Interesting, but the sample size is miniscule. Yes, the sample size is small, but there is a much bigger problem. The APAPs were set at pressure 4 - 15 and most people will do better with a higher minimum setting as advocated by most regular members of this forum. If I set my minimum at 4, I would ...

Re: Napoli Seeks Surgery For Sleep Disorder
Maybe Napoli should seek the advice of some of the members of CPAPtalk before pulling the trigger on the surgery. From what I've read there doesn't seem to be a lot of long-term gain. Anyway, I thought for older people, I saw information that the success rate isn't as great as what is being quoted ...

Re: Hypopneas
My understanding is the idea of both a chin strap and a collar is to help holds your neck in a better position for breathing IE keep it from blocking the air way?? That is true of a spinal collar but not a chin strap. Chin straps are used with the great hope that they will stop breathing through th...

But I don't know that I want to breath through my mouth all night, every night, for the rest of my life. Seems like you would have a terribly dry throat af...

Re: Ovenyus/CSIRO 3D printed mouthpiece for sleep apnea
Some mention of the year 2015 in a site I found. So what will you be doing until then? And then; what if it doesn't work for you ? See an apnea dentist for possible solutions available NOW. That is less than three months away and most people, even present day CPAP fans, go for years before they see...
