I can't really give you advice on your situation, but I will tell you that I borrowed a Vantage for a week before buying my Autoset II. I found some DISTINCT differences. 1. The Autoset II has an EPR option in APAP mode. The Vantage only has EPR in CPAP mode. 2. The Autoset II has the new easy-breat...

I just recently moved to a Resmed, from an older Respironics. My decision was based on 1) the new Respironics M Series machines use external power supplies. I HATE bricks. 2), the new Respironics humidification system is a mess compared to the old one. Don't like it one bit. I hope someone in their ...

Ok fine...OSA is a 'condition'. It may lead to other complications, but it's pretty clear to me that it can cause death on it's own as well - unless you are telling me that my doctor is wrong and there's no risk of not recovering from an apnea event. Either way, it's not a 'get over it' discussion. ...

To even SUGGEST that sleep apnea is close to cancer is beyond absurd. Geez. Now it's a my disease is worse than your disease discussion? Look, apnea is a disease - we're not arguing over severity. Both can kill. I can laugh at myself along with the next guy. However, I don't make fun of people out ...

Maybe you should take it as it is given, as a joke! He makes fun of all sorts of things and people for a laugh. It is his job and I don't think it is intended to insult anyone. Being able to laugh at oneself makes life a little more fun at times. Just my thoughts. Ok...by that reasoning, is it fair...

Mike, it sounds like your aversion to having the procedure done is psychological. I can tell you that Valium is routinely prescribed for people who have a serious aversion to certain medical procedures. You might consider experimenting with some Valium. The doc told me all it does is make you NOT C...

I left the surgery with plastic splints in both nostrils and a mustache bandage to catch the blood drip. This stayed in for 72 hours and most of the air volume for breathing came through the mouth until the splints were out. I did use cpap even on the first night. I was not able to use my favorite ...

I was hoping the honey thing would be some thing simple like a little honey on toast and BAM! clear nasal passages. As a kid my mom would give us honey with lemon in a small shot of brandy when we were stuffed up. It worked pretty good and we always slept well, too! Actually I find that a teaspoon ...

Mike, I am not sure of your exact problem but I had enlarged turbinates and a double deviated septum. Last November I had all six turbinates resectioned (reduced in size) and the septum corrected. Surgery was on a Tuesday and I had the splints removed the same week on Friday morning and then went t...

How can following or trying to follow Christian beliefs do anything but good? Mth, see that's just my point. People seem to hold 'christian' beliefs up as the ultimate moral compass. If you're talking about the parts of christianity that deal with respecting your neighbor and trying to lead a respe...

Hehe....I actually DID think of that! But....isn't it a little thick? Does it come in powder form?

I have had sinus issues my entire life. Last year, before I had my sleep study, I finally had my sinuses "fixed". They also repaired an old fracture in my nose and repaired my deviated septum. I had 4 months of agony afterwards and honestly? I am no better off than I was before I had it. At this po...

Let us all pray for our brothers that have lost their way. Mike,God hasn't forgotten you or forsaken you,he is waiting for you to find your way back to the light. Same goes for you Babs and Rooster. Now let us bow... Dear Father,please show these lost souls the way to the light and never ending joy...

Mike, You could sign my name to your statment and it would be true for me also. I began to question Christianity when I was in my teens and struggled with it for 40 years. I read volumes of "pro and anti" authors and could still not make sense of the Bible. Then when I was in my fifties I developed...

I'm INTERESTED in which BIBLE VERSION is right ------ I have 14 copies of different bibles in English EACH are different ( Most) are based on the King James version -BUT- non agree or are complete "That's just the New testaments!" And YES I have read them ALL...... It surprises me how many people t...
