Can I outgrow sleep apnea

[Janknitz]

But nobody tested children in the paleolithic era when I was a child.

in all fairness, it was difficult back then... I mean, since they hadn't invented electricity, where would you plug the machine in????

We used specially trained mammoths like Wilma Flintstone's vacuum cleaner.



Come to think of it, the first CPAP machines actually were modified vacuum cleaners. (electrical, not biological.)

I've been looking and looking for a still of Mike (Monsters, Inc.) being threatened with the Scream Extractor to use as my avatar. I think THAT is the original CPAP.

I believe a lot of those big athletes aren't as healthy as we tend to think and they definitely have problems after their career is over and they're not working out several hours every day.

Sour grapes?

Losing weight may be a good idea for many reasons. It might reduce you need for CPAP, but many people aren't cured or see no improvement. Even if you do get off CPAP now, apnea usually increases with age.

What problems are your having with CPAP? We might have some suggestions to make it more tolerable.

I didn't say I was having problems. I was used to my machine the first use and it's working for me. I just don't like having to use it, is all.

As long as you realize you're responding to a year old post...
