Sorry, I haven't followed your case, but did you have an in-lab sleep study? What did it show as far as "spasms"?

Re: Doctor wants to change BiPAP vs. CPAP

In my opinion cpap are a joke and shouldn't even exist or be made any more. The only reason they are still around is to make money and create a difference in "upgrades" so the dme and manufacturer can charge more for a bipap as they bumped you up to the next machine which should of been the first m...

Are you talking about having three epileptic seizures per hour? Is that even possible?

Re: Can I skip some days?

JNK said: In their experience, they may be unaware of the people whose condition might NOT worsen with a few nights/days without treatment. Of course we are aware that many people get away without ill effects skipping CPAP here or there. But the problem is, the only way to find out that you are NOT...

Re: multiple awakenings in the night

the bloating situation went away by the third night. a little gas in the morning, but no longer a struggle through the night. Now that you have adjusted to sleeping with CPAP, you might be able to turn the min pressure up 0.5 cm at a time without experiencing additional aerophagia. Personally, I fe...

Re: Introducing myself and my sleep struggles.

This is a brand new machine. And I do not have the right to sell it. It's under an insurance contract. Take it back and demand a data-capable auto machine. Tell your doctor you were screwed. Which auto pap machine would you recommend? I recommend one of these: https://www.cpap.com/productpage/resme...

Re: New and waiting and worried.

A six month wait from Doctor's visit till getting help really seems excessive. These things can be improved by people who take charge of their plot in life. I have excellent success by asking to be put on a waiting list. One doctor's office said they did not do a waiting list, but I could call back...

Maybe YOU will be sued for $600k for offering legal advice without a license to practice law.

I've used that mask with a soft cervical collar for many years. The combination works great for me.

I also use Orajel for Dry Mouth.

Are you issuing sound opinion, or do you just have an ax to grind because of your inability to contribute to the forum in a positive way?

There are a few trolls on here constantly causing trouble, and PaleRider is not one of them.
