It's kind of a shame we don't have any indication how the results may have changed over the years.
All we have here is cumulative, with no reference to how many voted what; and when.
Better yet, how treatment has actually extended (and improved) the lives of so many here.

The question should have be at what age did you get your OSA and not how old are you now with your OSA. The poll was planned stupidly.

A lot of people don't know how old they were when their OSA started, I don't, for one. They most likely remember when they started doing therapy, though...is that what you meant?

What are you asking for? How old we 'think' others are who use CPAP, or how old I am as a voter on the poll?

The poll is unintelligble in its question and I am not going to answer it because it's a waste of time.

But you did answer; you merely failed to vote, ---or did you?

It's a 6 year old poll...started in 2009...you didn't have to answer it.

Objection: irrelevant. It came up on my screen so it may have been bumped. I don't care how old it is as it's still here and not closed and one can still apparently cast a vote. And I hope that you are not in the profession with such useless commentary.

Now go ahead and answer the poll I posted a short while ago. I doubt you have answered the simple question and answers it poses. Whether you think the poll is stupid is again, irrelevant. At least it's intelligible and not filled with ambiguity like this one.

72 and loving the idea that folks who use their xpap machines are far less likely to die in their sleep! Now what to do with the rest of the day besides reducing stress by listening to fun music >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmbkMD-Y3KM Enjoy.

Welcome aboard, ixcocoyxi ! Woah! Is that what your buddies call you?
Well, you're in the right place, man. You might want to click the 'User Control Panel',
upper left on the screen, and fill in your equipment and other info so people here can more easily help out.

What is it about the machine that you don't like?
How long have you had it?
Have you already paid for it?
Do you have a copy of your lab report? (If not, call your doc's office in the morning to send you a copy. You'll need it here.)

Fyi, my doc started me off with a ResMed [Edit:] Escape or something that couldn't collect my sleep data in a way that I would be able to monitor with the help of available computer software. I learned here that I should return it for a ResMed Autoset. Which I did. Let's get a little more information from you. After that we have some really knowledgeable folks here that you can count on for guidance on how to proceed. In the meantime hang loose.
