I am pretty sure I am sending this back. There are things i LOVE about it-- I love how there is no T piece on the forehead and it is so comfortable when sleeping on your side and stomach. But my nose actually scabbed over after the last incident and so I waited a while to try again and sure enough t...

Thank god for the "adorable" helmet for this child and the oxygen tent that helped save your daughter's life. I'm sure her illness was frightening. And thank god for the ulgy ass CPAP headgear and masks I wear everynight that hopefully will keep me from dying in my sleep one day. Medical Technology ...

Oh my! yea, not so cute and kinda scary!

Circadience (sleep weaver fabric masks) has a kickstarter to try and address needs in the pediatric community also:

By all means, try another mask. You won't know what you like until you know. The simplus full face mask is the first one I tried and the one I use the most. Two nights ago I retried the Eson nasal mask and liked it so much I used it again last night. I also bought a circadience fabric full face mask...

I know that poor baby is sick, but the helmet is adorable.

This needs to be a hall of fame thread simply based on so many descriptions of nostrils. I really had no idea... (Going to check in the mirror to see if I have fleshy round nostrils).

Stopping ambien has helped my energy, though sill tired.

I have "long sleep" syndrome. Meaning= i need up to 12 hours of sleep. It is rare and they think genetic. Maybe you are wired for longer sleeps?

Thanks to Nuvigil I can bring my point back around to CPAP. Research is hard to find about CPAP causing weight loss by itself or even "treated sleep apnea results in weight loss" because all the links direct to losing weight will help sleep apnea. So it is really hard to get the search terms right. ...

If that were true, 90% of people would be thin. I think it is way more complicated for most people than calories in, calories out. http://i.imgur.com/ONv03p6t.png Actually, if all you do is deal with calories in and out you will control your weight. science disagrees with you. As someone who has lo...

This may not be the best link, but it is an example. http://www.hormone.org/questions-and-answers/2012/bariatric-surgery I forgot to mention the diabetes is cured before weight loss is seen after surgery: "Improve or eliminate type 2 diabetes. RYGB can improve diabetes within days, even without weig...

My Dh is a doctor and one of his partners is a bariatric doctor, so I have talked and talked about this with him (whether surgery leads to long term problems, etc)... You would think that bariatric surgery works because it reduces calories, and it does. But one of the most immediate (within days) ch...

If that were true, 90% of people would be thin. I think it is way more complicated for most people than calories in, calories out. ETA: calories in, calories out is probably good for new dieters or people who rarely diet. Most obese people are professional dieters, which proves diets don't work. Die...

Do yourself a favor and don't google it. Some studies say it causes weight gain. Some say weight loss. One study I found about weight gain only looked at first 3 months. There was something said about increased water retention because of hormone changes caused by cpap (i don't know it would be more ...

Took first dose 3 hours ago. (250 mg). I feel more awake but it doesn't seem to have that get up and go feeling addedall had. Like I'm not cleaning my house like a mad woman. (Bummer).

I do feel like the brain fog is lifted-- that I can think and reason things out, problem solve etc.

YESSSSSSSS!

The Nuvigil was approved for a year. The pharmacy has it on order and it should be in some time today.
