Re: Taping question/Skincare regimen for women of the mask?

I did have to change my skin care regimen when the weather turned warm here in Oklahoma, I started cpap in Dec 08 so this is my first warm season. I tried using my daytime moisturizer in place of my night time product, which made my mask slide around and leak badly. That solution has worked good for...

Re: Always Sleepy......

I also get sleepy in the afternoon even with sleeping good at night with Cpap - somedays I make a pot of coffee, somedays I sew and quilt if I dont want to let myself nap.

Re: Would somebody turn down that radio???

That was FABULOUS!!!
Now we all should try out our storytelling skills about our crazy and hilarious dreams.
I know I have never experienced dreaming like I have since starting on Cpap last Dec.
You are quite talented!!!
