ROFL....I am just sitting here shaking my head. You always make me laugh, LOL.

Carbonman, Thank you for taking the time to attend that meeting. I found this site by a stroke of luck when I was dx'd with OSA. I am so thankful that I did. I am one of the very lucky ones that have adjusted to CPAP very easily (so far). I pause now and think what my experience would have been had ...

How scary is THAT? Can you imagine the posts that would come about if that suit were the "gold standard"? "I can't get a date since I have to sleep with this thing", etc, etc, etc. Oh....why not hook up some kind of real heat to that thing....make it a sauna suit to use while we sleep.....we could l...

I am glad you have an apointment next week. Make sure to write down things that you want to bring up to the Dr. Keep reading here and don't give up.

It is worth it, your health depends on it.

I wondered what kind of fallout would result from the information that Terry posted. I know that the VA is substandard, but the care is better than nothing at all for those that do not have any kind of health care at all. I wholeheartedly believe that the government owes our veterans so much more th...

Yes the EPR is for reducing the pressure upon exhale. ( I guess I left that out). I think I don't hear it when I first start the machine is because I haven't relaxed and tuned in. I don't seem to notice it until my breathing falls into a steady, regular pattern. I also think at first the machine has...

Thank you for the information, Terry.

I am new here, and glad to meet you. I am so sorry for the loss of your son. The great thing about here is that we all care about each other, and it's not limited to our poor quality of sleep. I know you don't know me, but if you need someone to listen, PM me anytime.

Hi, I know the "noise" you are speaking of, and I really haven't thought much about it. As with any type of motor, there is going to be a change, when a different end result is "asked" for and the mechanism that drives that change kicks in. Ummmm I think, for example, drive a manual shift car.....yo...

Good Morning! Well that sounds like an improvement! When I first started with wearing the mask and all that, it still took me forever to get to sleep. After working really hard to be compliant, my sleep pattern started slowly falling into place. Now there are times I wake up and I have taken my mask...

Yummm.....white russians......

You are right, it's hard to be active when you feel so tired. The treadmill sounds like a good idea, and trying to relax as much as you can before you go to bed. Let us know how it goes tonight....

Redbones, Hey! Hang in there! Believe me, I know how you are feeling, we have all been there to some degree or another. I know you are having problems sleeping, I get that. Tell us what your sleeping conditions are like? Are you leaving the TV on? Is the room a comfortable temperature? I ask these t...

Congrats!!!! Hope you can find a way to get to see the new baby soon!

You people are so great on here that, well, you practically have me brainwashed. Persuaded, dragged kicking and....well, not screaming, but complaining; I have been almost fully indoctrinated into your world of CPAP. I have been very compliant with my mask wearing, even though there have been a coup...
