:/ i wasn't being a fear monger. i just happen to like things in general when i can read all ingredients and know where they come from. i don't eat oreos, either. i just wanted one that didn't smell and if given the choice between something whose ingredients i can read and whose i can't, i'll choose...

I'm no doctor, nurse or anything in medicine, but do know that sometimes people with heart problems have a choking feeling when lying down because of fluid accumulating in their lungs - and they have to sit up, or sleep with more pillows, etc. That is not like run of the mill "I can't stand this ma...

i too have had congestive heart failure. i have advanced and complicated issues and had open heart surgery 7 years ago. i live with moderate heart failure daily. i know 'heart failure' sounds bad. but it's really not that bad living with it and treating it. it's so good to have found out rather than...

thanks for the welcome! and yes, the doctor was surprised i had it. he wanted to test for narcolepsy because that seemed more probable. my gp too seemed reluctant to refer me to a sleep specialist. she tried to blow me off saying that hardly anyone stays compliant and i shouldn't bother because it's...

yes, i use a nasal mask. so i guess the day i wake up with a dry mouth i will know the problem? i'm afraid sometimes i'm so out of touch with my body that i won't even realise i'm feeling bad again until it's REALLY bad. so it is nice to look for a sign that doesn't have to do with me feeling sick. ...

just thought i'd post an intro thing and say hi. i'm 26 years old, and practically plagued by medical problems! i figured i had apnea the day i learned it existed. i've had sleep problems for as long as i can remember. it has been the source of anxiety for many years, but i never knew you could do a...

i have a noob question about this. how do you know if you're doing it? i guess i was the sort who woke up constantly from choking but i never REMEMBERED it. i only knew i had apnea because everyone told me i was choking and i was tired and depressed all the time. how do you know then that you're bre...

thanks for the tip! i just picked some up at my local grocery store. the fact that it's 100% natural appealed to me over ayr gel. it's called lansinoh, buckeyered.

haha i found it elsewhere for far cheaper. i just posted that particular link coincidentally. just happened to be the first link so i could give someone the information on the product.

here it is for instance for $8.33

hello everyone! i'm relatively new to the world of cpaps although i thought for years that i had sleep apnea. i had no idea how much lack of sleep was disrupting my life until i got a cpap and i was like, 'well, gosh! i can walk further than across the street now!' all that time i thought exercise w...
