hmm

It would be nice if newcomers could eventually find a Rested Gal link under the CPAP FAQ section up top. I wonder if anyone besides me ever pondered what a formidable task that would be: she probably has more useful posts than anyone in the history of apnea message boards. In my book she deserves t...

Cool, thanks for describing your music, Chris. ..... Is electronica/dance the same as doof doof? (a composer friend mentioned that term to me) You know, this composer friend I know also has the same full face mask you do. He said something to me just today that I found interesting. He had taken a re...

Hey, forget about all this shop talk....

I wanna know what kind of music the music composer composes!

I can't say I've ever used a dental mouth guard, sorry. But I'm glad it has helped protect your teeth. Yes, I too have read about people taping their mouth, and some people use chin straps. But you ought to consider using a full face mask if you are a mouth breather and you're starting to notice OSA...

I agree with Snoredog, quack, quack, quack! Forgive me, but I've not read most of your previous posts, but did you ever get a reason why the fist doc wanted you to have another sleep study? Did you have it? And as snoredog asked, what were the results? Why does he want to lower the pressure? And did...

No offense to Kenny G lovers, I think I prefer the didge to his playing, but hey, that's just me (and I don't even like didge music!) I have a friend in Australia who has a friend, William Barton, who performs the didge. He was taught the instrument in his native community. No, I don't know if he ha...

Let me add my congratulations too! Now, try your best to get as much sleep and rest as possible. Recently I've tried to use the internet less, cutting off usage earlier in the evening. And oddly, even though I've not really gone to bed all that much earlier, I have slept longer and better. I know it...

Now why am I not surprised that Rested Gal was the first to reply?




Nice photo!

Hi CSA, I don't know anything about neuro-muscular disorders. But I wouldn't be surprised if they are thinking bipap if they anticipate any difficulty of you breathing against the pressure. I have a bipap and have weak lung muscles or something like that. All I know is that it is impossible for me t...

The whole point is I don't sleep because of OSA, my body wakes me up and stops me dying! I often tell people with untreated apnea that it's your body stopping you from dying. But sooner or later, that body will get annoyed, run out of energy, and not be able to do it some day. OR, the heart, which ...

Hi needlenana, It's not necessary to register, you can always just describe more about what you are using. My only question is if you were given a full face mask right off, and not a nose-only mask. Did they switch masks on you in the sleep study, from a nasal mask to a full face mask? My pressure i...

Hi Rachel, Are you saying the seizures happened during your sleep? I haven't read your other posts, but how long have you been on cpap and has it helped with your sleeping? I have heard there is a relationship with epilepsy and sleep apnea, although I don't believe the apnea is the cause. I don't kn...

Hi milkman, Say, that's great that it all went so smoothly. I am curious, though, was the sleep study a split night study, meaning did they also do the titration part, test you with cpap to get the pressure of 9? And it does seem unusual for the sleep lab and DME be all in one. But hey, it's good yo...
