Henceforth CPAPtalk will adopt of policy of chasing off the flagrant, profane, repeat offender, intolerable trolls. Regula...

BEWARE Snake Oil Salesmen!

I just received an email from a company which led to a link suggesting the prescribing of CPAP is a "knee jerk reaction" my the medical community, and claiming "facial exercises" and "herbal remedies"(which they sell) can cure apnea. I wanted to warn people about this dangerous misinformation! The l...

Re: Dry nose HELP! heated tube / classic humidifier not working!

Been having a real hard time with my System One bipap. Heated tube never manages to put out enough moisture for me, and either the dryness, airflow itself, or heat dries out nose so bad that it causes severe dripping, itching, watery eyes (like a histamine reaction) during the day. It makes me so m...

Re: Clear Airway Events

Read this thread about posting SH graphs. http://www.cpaptalk.com/viewtopic/t103468/Need-help-with-screen-shots.html ======= that is not as useful as some of the newer ones that address the use of imgur directly and in one post this goes directly to better info http://www.cpaptalk.com/viewtopic/t88...

Although I have a very strong conviction against war ... I very much hold those in the highest honor who would kill and die so that many more can live free.

Re: A terrible nigh/day

I have been using my APAP for about 3 months now. I use it every night without fail. As a matter of fact, I don't know if I could sleep without it. My head would keep me awake. My terrible snoring, according to my Wife, has stopped. My trips to the bathroom after going to bed has fallen to once, so...

Re: sleep vs wake breathing and effect of hypops ? question

didnt AASM just add desats to the definition of hypop to account for that being necessary to be included in AHI No they didn't "just add" the desats to the definition of hyponea....it's been there for at least as long as I have been on cpap. hypops alone are not a problem unless they cause desats A...

Re: Assessment of treatment efficacy

Doc. xxxyxz's claims have been refuted before... MANY times, yet he still refuses to accept that he is wrong or spouting wrongful information . He is never wrong... in his estimation only. .

WHY!!!!

It seems every single thread on this forum runs like this: 1. Someone asks a question, or describes their problem. 2. xxyzx replies, usually with mindless drivel 3. Another member responds, correcting xxyzx's post, or even just giving good info. 4. xxyzx launches a tirade about libtard bullies. My q...

Re: Cannot belive

Cannot get over all the problems with CPAP. Wow what a surprise. Your Doc does not tell you all the problems. But he does say--expect at least 3 months of trial and error. I guess this is the big clue. ========= and then you discover it is six months or you are in the 45% that never get used to usi...

Here's the thing - and I feel like we're beating a dead horse at this point (no offense to horse people please). We're beating our heads against the wall, trying to reason with him.

Re: xxyzx and Morbius Spam Buttons Removed

Howdy, xxyzx and Morbius no longer have spam button privileges on CPAPtalk. Ideas should be worked out in thread, not through the spam button. The spam button is for things that are clearly commercial spam. The mission of this forum is to help people with CPAP issues - peer to peer. The means we us...
