I personally know a number of people who have been on Provigil and say it doesn't do anything to/for them. I was on Provigil for about 6 weeks. I described it as LEGAL SPEED!!!!!! And...my coworkers threatened the MD who wrote my script(yes...I'm an RN) with BODILY harm if he ever prescribed more fo...

I am an ICU RN who works 12 hour shifts. I SWEAR by mine. I have a bad knee and I can get through a shift without pain.Few weeks ago I wore my Birkenstocks to work...by 1pm...I felt crippled with 6 hours to go . The first time I wore them...my calves and thighs are SORE SORE SORE the next day. May I...

Jan...you might be able to use tape on your hose as a temporary fix. You're lucky...a new hose only costs about $10. My son's 6 month puppy(OMG...is SHE a chewer) destroyed my Oracle mask...I was LIVID. Thank God...I was able to order a new one and in meantime had several old ones that I "parted" to...

The Oracle is my DREAM mask. Been using it for almost 4 years. I don't get the drooling that a lot of people do. My mouth is terribly dry when I wake up but a quick sip of water fixes that. Yes...the nose plugs tend to slip out after a few hours(I've experimented and haven't found better ones). I ac...

I also gained quite a bit of weight when I first started on CPAP(45 lbs). PreCPAP after working 12 hour shifts...I was exhausted and would go to sleep...no dinner. Enter CPAP...more energy...I ate dinner every night; no more afternoon naps...endless snacking instead. Good for you...exercising and wa...

In Nov. 2005 I started on CPAP pressure of 15. Dec 2007 I had gastric bypass surgery. I have lost 153 lbs; 37 to go!!! My CPAP is down to 9 but that was from a study 80 lbs ago. My MD just wrote a script and submitted to DME for a APAP due to my ongoing fluctuation in weight. My 20 yo son weighs abo...

Looking back...I always snored...DH always nudged me to turn me on my side to stop the snoring. I weighed 140 lbs when we first got married so I wasn't overweight but now sure that I had sleep apnea back then. My highest weight was over 300 lbs and my pressure was 15 then. Thanks to gastric bypass I...

Yes...I have a backup machine. Thanks to cpapauction.com.

Started on CPAP 11/05 15 cm pressure. Weight at time 318 lbs 12/07- I had gastric bypass surgery 12/08(1 year 1 week since surgery) 9cm pressure (my MD ordered a APAP just this week...so I don't have to go for frequent titration studies.) My weight is 170 lbs. WOOHOO!!!! My personal goal is 130 lbs ...

Right behind you,LeeLee. The 17th is 3 years for me. The support forums have been a Godsend to me. I learned all that I know about sleep apnea/CPAP from this board and the ASAA board. Hey...I'm a girl who loves the Oracle mask. That says a LOT in itself. Thanks to all of the vet Pappers!!!!

I bought my backup machine on cpapauction.com. It's an S7 lightweight(had 210 hours on it) came with heated humidifier...I paid $110!! I love when I have to overnight somewhere I don't have to pack up my first line machine and mask. This was a well worth investment.

I NEVER thought I'd live through that first 3 months when I had a LOVE/HATE relationship with my CPAP. Mask and machine even got thrown across the bedroom a couple of times back then. Then all of a sudden CPAP became my best friend. Seems my body had paid back all that sleep debt and CPAP was making...

Bump...bump...bump

I have bought 3 masks;1 CPAP machine and sold a mask on cpapauction.com. All of my transactions have been "quick and painless".
