Re: POLL: A Snapshot of the Health Problems of Forum Members

I marked I only have OSA. Before CPAP I was taking meds for GERD and was 50 lbs overweight. I have since lost the weight and am no longer take meds for GERD, CPAP treatment seems to have have rid me of GERD.

I had it done about a year ago and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I had a lot of problems using CPAP before the surgery and now I've been 100% compliant since. It's amazing what a difference it makes to be able to breathe through your nose! I had very little pain, I never even took...

What you are going through is very common. When I first started I tried for 2 weeks and could not sleep with it. After being awake for 4 or 5 hours I would throw the mask on the floor in frustration and sleep a couple of hours without it. I actually gave up after two weeks and it wasn't until a few ...

I'd be really curious to see the results of this same poll taken by people who don't have the support of this forum. I bet it would be way lower for compliance. What kills me is when I first got my machine my Doc told me I only needed to use it 4 hours a night. At the time that sounded great, now th...

How many of you are 100% compliant?

I am curious how many of you are 100% compliant with your xpap therapy. By this I mean EVERY time you are asleep for any reason you use your machine, except for maybe nodding off for a minute or 2 like when watching TV or something. I see many posts about people taking their masks off part way throu...

I received the $25 upgrade kit from cpapplus and it did in fact include everything you need to upgrade to swift II. The only things not replaced are the headgear and the side tube that connects to the tubing from the machine.
