Re: AirLift Sleep Apnea Surgery

was on cpap for 11 years and the only thing that sustained me was the Drs telling me 'you'll feel better the next day' and 'your numbers are great'. The best decision I could have ever done was to stop using the cpap machine before I became dependent on it. According to posts you made in 2019, you ...

Re: How are you tracking your sleep quality?

I'm interested in this too. I was looking at the Oura Ring but it requires a subscription to access the data.

Re: AirLift Sleep Apnea Surgery

I've never had one of those experiences where I've woken up the next morning feeling like a million bucks like so many others have experienced. Considering researching other options. I haven't had that procedure but I did have DJS, tongue moved forward, septoplasty, reduction osseous genioplasty. A...

Re: ClimateLine heated hose issues with AirCurve 10 Vauto

Is there anyway to use a larger diameter hose w the Vauto? I dislike that the climate line is the slimmer diameter and it's far less flexible than the heated tube on a Respironics for example.

Re: What is your biggest CPAP struggle?

Stop de-funding the paraprofessionals! Before the Affordable Care Act Medicare beneficiaries could use ANY DME. And we could get actual advice and help with REAL WORLD issues like finding a mask, leaks, etc. Stuff that a Dr doesn't do. Now our choices are Apria or Lincare both horrible and go out of...

Re: Do I still have sleep apnea?

You probably do still have apnea. There is no "cure" for apnea, which us why your surgery did not have a warranty. The only guarantee is that your surgeon made a pile of money, and you endured a lot of pain. Thankfully I didn't get the surgery only for sleep apnea. My open bite is now resolved. Mea...

Do I still have sleep apnea?

I had double jaw surgery in July, moved forward 10mm plus tongue advacement. The Sleep drs here are booking in to Jan and that's not counting the sleep lab. I have a Resmed Aircurve S10 Vauto and an S9 Lumis TX. The one night I ran pulse ox without pap, didn't see anything concerning. I'm just now g...

Re: Recommendations for White Noise Machine Model?

Our electronic machine has developed a short. We would like to get a really good new one. I'm not looking for something with all kinds of bells and whistles. Can you make a recommendation? (We are using a small fan in the interim.) This was one of the original machines, and is still one of the best...

Re: Who gave up?

(Artificial intelligence) Maybe some day--IF anybody can AFFORD it! I was told the same exact thing by a sleep Dr at a prominent state universit...

Re: Waking up exactly 30-35 minutes all night long

What you describe in your second paragraph sounds totally like sleep paralysis. This happens to me all the time. I cannot speak to many of the other symptoms, but this one sounds very familiar. Good luck on your next polysomnography. I hope you don't need cpap. If you do, well, you've got company h...
