Re: cotton mouth

I have the same troubles. I found that despite the setting on my built-in humidifier, I still wake up with a dry mouth or sinuses. I have had success with these steps and I suggest you try it... 1.

Re: Apnea & CPAP - IN THE NEWS!

Oh, I'm a big fan of the show Biggest Loser. On the show, although no one talks about it, there are System One machines in most of the contestants rooms. After noticing this, and digging a little deeper, I found that Phillips Respironics provides apnea screening tests and equipment to most of the co...

Apnea & CPAP - IN THE NEWS!

As a new "hoser" I was shocked to learn how serious and dangerous sleep apnea can be.

Re: What is your generation

Darn it! I was hoping that I has some same-generation peers here. Turns out I'm a 3-percenter (Generation Y Born 1981-Present 3%).

Re: Where A CPAP Newbie Should Start

I just wanted to intro myself. My name is Eric & I live in Maryland. Over the last few months I've been through all of the sleep testing, the health insurance stuff, and finally today...I got my hands on my CPAP machine. I really didn't want to post until after my first night, but I feel like I'm co...
