I had tapered off of a cocktail of psych meds I had been on for years and was having sleep problems. My sister suggested I might want to be tested for sleep apnea but I blew her off. I just thought I was experiencing withdrawal issues. However, I changed my mind and was diagnosed with moderate sleep...

Looks just like another more expensive excuse to not use the CPAP gold standard. You have no bleeping idea what you are talking about. You know nothing about my situation or anyone else who decided this was a better alternative. You write alot of great posts but I am tired of this holier than thou ...

Thanks 49er and Julie, just registered waiting for confirmation, I'm not sure anymore about a lot of things, I started to have sleep issues 2 years ago after a severe burnout, sad enough I never could stop working because of the financial needs for my family so I continued to work (freelance musici...

I'll need to look for settings as i stopped using the machine, I believe my settings (pressure) where between 9-10, I'll check for exact info. I felt a bit better using it (mouth + nose mask) actually I've found that it doesn't always make me feel much better then without, but they can't increase p...

Interesting article on the Inspire posted in the CPAP News at the top of this page... http://www.sleepreviewmag.com/2017/11/inspire-medical-systems-ranks-no-2-cleveland-clinics-top-10-medical-innovations-2018/ Thanks for posting the link. As some folks know, due to my difficulties with pap therapy,...

This is interesting, I also have sleep apnea, and for some reason it began to become better, stopped using the CPAP machine and for a few weeks as I could sleep without issues, but then one day I started to take glycine and magnesium bisglycinate and also had quite a lot of stress at work, and gues...

People--please do NOT rip off the system. You keep spouting off this boilerplate response having no idea what you are talking about. If you want to argue intelligently, read the beginning of this thread which shows that it is usually very difficult to get disability and one has to go through severa...

My doctor put me on it for sleep as well but Im on a low dose (30 mg?) I noticed a little bit of improved sleepiness at bedtime but nothing close to what you felt. I am really scared up upping the dose because I hate antidepressants and I have always had terrible side effects. the one I fear the mo...

Sleep apnea suffer, I definitely understand your frustrations regarding doctors blaming everything on depression. Heck, if you had a hangnail, they would blame in on that. But all cynicism aside, Pugsy and CG are great helping you with pap therapy issues. Hopefully, you can get things worked out and...

Margaretm, When I had a septoplasty in 2015, I was scared to death about mishaps. I met with an anesthesiology resident ahead of time to discuss my concerns and she was very reassuring. To make a long story short, I sailed through the surgery and woke up very quickly in the recovery room without eve...

I have been trying to find the cause of my insomnia but no one is willing to help me. I did the home sleep test again the sleep apneas were mild but I woke up at least 2-3 times a night and rarely go back to sleep. I did a home sleep test and found out that I have mild sleep apnea(r5.5 events per h...

Really?? Dont rip off the system. AMESS, as one who felt you have been the subject of unfair attacks, I feel you are completely out of line. You know absolutely nothing about the OP's situation other than what was posted. And you do know it is very hard to get SSI, SSDI, right, and that if someone ...

Allow me to vent a little first. By default I am functionally disabled. Conditions: Aortic dissection type II, pacemaker implant, cpap machine use. That is like being in a hospital bed attached to a breathing tube and a defribillator at the same time. Can someone give me a good opinion on this. On ...

Qu'est-ce que tu ne comprends pas?

Po prostu zamieszczam po polsku.

Nie wiedziałem, że mówili po jidysz w Tajlandii. Google translater isn't working.

Well been 2 years on CPAP, thought I somewhat restored my functioning in my life. It certainly improved more than without the mask, but still wasn't great. I just dealt. Now I feel like I've lost all progress. I've developed restless legs now which makes me sleep even worse and on top of that I can...
