ROTFL...... Oh man... and I thought I was only the only nutter to have thought of this one!. I have a Bullmastiff. 120 lbs of pure snoring, snorting, and snarfing canine bliss. He's big... and in desperate need of dPAP (doggy Positive Airway Pressure) or pPAP or whatever you want to call it. He's th...

Hate it when I forget to sign in... DOH!

As far as I know all the major manufacturers certify their masks as 100%latex free. Certainly every single mask I own has rather prominently labled the box as such. CPAP masks are made out of flexible silicone, usually with a hard plastic frame to give it support and maintain the appropriate shape, ...

For those few interested in the new Hans Rudolph V2 full face mask it is almost here. I found it available for pre-order at CPAPUSA.com for $149 http://www.cpapusa.com/search.php?category=full&type=mask I just wish they would make it clear what the expected ship date would be. I plan to get one and ...

There are several threads that have discussed this... but check your private messages in a minute or two....

the nasal pillows on the Liberty push up against the nose causing discomfort after a few hours (never mind nights) and there is no such pushing against the nose with the Hybrid I actually have the OPPOSITE problem. For me the Hybrid pillows absolutely destroy my nose. Major pain. The problem seems ...

Well.... it ain't for everyone... but I personally like the Hans Rudolph VIP 7600. Only reason I haven't been using it lately is that I have decided the size small I borrowed from Jen is in fact a bit TOO small for me (opposite problem that most folks have) As soon as HR comes out with their new V2 ...

:lol: Dude, what I'd really, really like to see is a mask that is difficult, if not impossible, to throw off at night. I''m not improving because I do this unconsciously. HeHeHeHeHe I'm picturing a Darth Vader sort of thing that clamps around the head but with the added security of a padlock. Oh an...

Scary thing... I had to stop and think before I got it Can you say "Taz needs a CPAP surgically attached to her nose so her brain will work ALL the time." ???

Given my medical history their eyes usually glaze over after only 10 seconds. I can almost see my words going in one ear an out the other with zero comprehension in between. Actually... it's a little scary sometimes when I have to explain some of the medical terms I use to the doctor. I mean... I kn...

Heck I haven't even TRIED to get a copy of my sleep study results yet. I figure I'll ask my gp for that too since I know she has one in my file.

Add me to the list. Apnea helped kill my old man, and he had the stubborn gene too. My family is so nuts I purposely didn't have kids because I knew the gene pool needed to come to an end. It seems my three half-brothers and I came to the same conclusion all on our own. Not one of us has had kids (...

I have no doubt that this has been kicked around many times before but I just can't keep myself from asking it anyway. Through my long journey through ignorance, denial, fear, resignation, and finally acceptance of my own apnea problem I have come to wonder... why doesn't the medical profession do m...
