Re: Which full face mask do you recommend?
I think I am going to try a padacheek because I really love the mask. It's just the forehead bar. It's not really tight on my forehead it just makes deep dents in my forehead. So I think the padacheek will work great.

Re: MIL needs help with cpap advice
To answer your question. No, I dont want her to have to go through the exspense again. But since its been so long I would think her apnea might be even worse. So they would have to know what settings she would have to be on and a new prescription. I have always heard prescriptions are only good for ...

MIL needs help with cpap advice
My mother in law had the apnea test done back in 2001 and they told her she had severe sleep apnea but when they put the cpap on her she felt like she could not breath. Recently after I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea I told her that she needs to get tested again cause there is new machines ou...

Re: CPAP improved my cholesterol levels?
I do need to lighten up on carbs that is true. Is the trig related to sugar or anything? I dont have sugar but was considered pre diabetic last year but since then my sugar levels have been fine. But I do fear it cause both brothers are on meds now for sugar.

Re: CPAP machine vs. Cat
I have three cats and they dont mess with it and that is a big surprise. One of my cats the more outgoing one did once smack it and that was it. At first my cats were afraid of the mask but now they look at me and cuddle up and go back to sleep.

Re: How many have had surgey and are still on cpap?
my twin brother had a major surgery for this. They put him through the wringer. I think they did everything you can do for a patient with apnea. He now after two years is going to start using the cpap machine so the surgery did not work for him but then again it did. If he hadn't of had the surgery ...
