Re: Can people genuinely fail to tolerate CPAP?

No matter what, some people fail at a therapy. It's not in the cards. The therapy THEY need either hasn't been invented or made available to them. I agree that MANY people who fail simply don't try or don't have the right support. But yeah, there are going to be some that will give it their all and...

Re: Empty nose syndrome

I just get really bitter sometimes about all this, that's why I'm so negative. I have to learn to live with this, one way or the other.

Re: Empty nose syndrome

Not specific to empty nose syndrome, but relating to CPAP in general. Almost every day somebody comes on CPAPtalk and states that since CPAP they can no longer breathe correctly when trying to sleep at night. Either there's too much of a air surge, or there's too much back-pressure on exhale or the...

Re: Empty nose syndrome

Add to the list of possible negative side effects: "Your STUPID doctor, convinced that you are a nutcase, will ignore you." I rather, ignore him. After he gave me a prescription for an anti-depressant that lists of of its side-effects as......wait for it.......fatigue! Its the gooooooooold standard!

But that isn’t making the people who feel suicidal over its horrific symptoms feel any better. After lying low for about a week...

Re: Fear of sleep or dying in your sleep

To the people who think dying in your sleep isn't too bad. Just TODAY, near where I live, there was a 79 year old guy who fell asleep at the wheel of an SUV... he ran head-on into a car with a family in it. He killed an 8 year old boy and messed up the rest of the family pretty bad. He managed to s...

Re: Can I skip some days?

I skip days now here and there; it makes no difference to me. Whether I use the gold standard or not, I will without doubt wake up feeling tired, sometimes terribly. Go for it. Noctuary, I understand how you feel about pap therapy and I pretty much feel the same way. However, I don't feel it is the...
