Thank you Tim. That was VERY informational.

CSA, I believe, can mean your brain doesn't tell you lungs to breath. In combination with shallow breathing, I wonder if that might be whats doing it. Do you ever notice that you're holding your breath? Well, not that you are doing it, but that your breathing has stopped for a second while you are a...

I have asbestoses. It makes for VERY painful breathing. There are times that I can not even bear the weight of my arms lying on my rib cage. I live in Washington, where Green Medicinals are available. The edibles can work very well with the kind of pain I deal with. I have always felt the side effe...

Thank you for responding. My o2 connect is set up very close to my mask SleepStar. It's a connector tube that fits between the mask and the standard tubing. Besides Central & Obstructive Sleep Apnea, I have asbestoses, pulmonary fibrosis, both restrictive and obstructive lung disease BlackSpinner. ...

Hello all. Hope Spring is as gentle as possible in your area. I was told that any flow over 4 liters on my o2 feed into my ViPAP can "blow out" lung tissue. Destroy ones lungs. It's so frustrating. I'm on 4 liters while inactive, but am a active sleeper. I am on 6 liters when active. But even 6 lit...

Thank you for the comments. It's a throat infection. MD saw all the nasty gunk on tonsil buds. Am still going to see a specialist. I have chronic Esophageal inflammation. Thats high risk further disease. Inflammation (chronic), from what I understand, can do major damage. (

Ooops, looks like I made a mess of my post. I don't know where all those %20 came from. I think i hit "img" instead of size. Anyway, thank you for your thoughtfulness Chunky Frog.

Hi. Maybe put medical tape around the male end until you can replace it?

Please see your doctor--ASAP! I hope I'm wrong.

Thanks for responding Always tired. And thanks for the "heads-up" & idea about using wipes. I'm going to step up my hygiene regime. I just bought some Biotene and will use it regularly. Take care, L_Armede

Sending healing and positive vibes and energy your way. I hope work out for you. Peace.

Wow, there sure are a lot of whiners on this thread. I had no idea there were so many Flea Farty members up in here. Which is their right - even though they want to take my rights away. Please , Please, Please secede. Anyone notice how the Bible Belt red states are the same states that seceded last ...

Hello all. I'm a little down. I had another sleep test in August because I just can't seem to stay awake during the day. And my edema is back. Last time I went through this, edema turning my feet into footballs, my Sleep Doctor said I was in coronary failure. That time they bumped it up to 12 and i...
