Don't blame you for being upset with the nose plugs. They are not helpful. When I tried them they backed out in about 30 seconds. So I used 1" Transpore white tape over the nostrils for about a week and after that I was confidant that the vast majority of my breathing was through my mouth anyway and...

Use Fisher Paykel Oral Oracle 452 with humidifier --put the hose up over my head and down my back. Have to sleep on my side because if I lie on my back the skin burns like fire even with powder and/or Vaseline Intensive Care.. Left hip deteriorating and is tender so have to sleep on the right side. ...

For anyone who is a mouth breather or has nasal congestion or sinus problems I strongly recommend the Fisher-Paykel Oral Oracle 452 from cpap.com---$99.00. With a good humidifier it has been a lifesaver for me (recurrent sinusitis and mouth breather).

Reinforcing the previous comment, in seeking a second opinion see a Pulmonary medicine specialist, who is often also a sleep medicine specialist.

Ambien and all drugs of the benzodiazepine class can cause tolerance and addiction. Further they can cause unwelcome changes in personality and psychic function such as induced hostility and memory loss. Try to get your doctor to prescribe one of the sedative anti-depressants in lower dosage (lower ...

Wonderful Posts. I like Rockand Roll--if it is necessary, make a game of it and point out how really brave people wear masks -like astronauts when off-board and divers, etc. Play peek-a-boo or whatever. Maybe other kids would join in the game (but they don't get to keep the mask). Follow through on ...

After developing a cellulitis of the nostril from using Cpap-Pro, I decided I needed a full-face mask because I was having so much difficulty breathing through my nose. Saw my physician the other day because of severe nasal congestion and he reminded me that the positive pressure into the nose from ...

This product has apparently now has been approved by Medicare for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea. The concept is unique. The nasal puffs are held in place by being attached to a mouthpiece which is self-fitted to the upper teeth. Because of this arrangement one can toss and turn without di...
