Re: from cpap to apap worse for me

Sorry, just still trying to figure out the exact reason the program used for this forum does that.. It's just based on IP , whenever you get on the net, you could go to http://whatismyipaddress.com/ and see what your IP is for that session, you'll likely find it changing on a regular basis. When yo...

Re: CPAP Jaw Pain due to Tongue

I'm hoping someone has dealt with something similar.. but I started CPAP about a year ago.. after about 3 months my jaw / throat area started to become sore.. it causes me jaw pain, headaches in my temple, and pain in my throat near my lymph nodes. I am using nasal pillows and my theory is that whi...

Thinking of new machine

You can see what I've been using for the last 7 years (off and on). I'm thinking of going to an Auto-PAP. Any recommendations? Thanks.

Re: owning a forum

you finally got something right you are not an expert on anything most of what you have claimed has been shown to be totally wrong Was that really necessary? This is why people tend to criticize your posts. I've been here for maybe a week and already I've seen only bits of helpful information from ...

Re: Developing allergy to CPAP

Hold on. Actually increased stuffiness IS listed as an adverse effect of Afrin. It could be causing a problem. Yes but normally if the issue is the Afrin it won't just come on out of the blue 10 minutes after putting the mask on. And it won't go away when the mask gets removed. Afrin congestion is ...

Re: The Absurdity of Shopping for CPAP Equipment

When I was fitted for my CPAP 7 years or so ago I was sent to a place that had a "showroom" for masks and machines. I bet there's a similar place local to you as well.

Re: Are there no moderators here?

Here is an analogy for those who have a little patience. Anyone here watch Chelsea Handler's show on Netflix? We watched a recent show where she did an "expose" on TwitterBots. (I don't use Twitter and I did not know they had Bots) What was interesting was, to dig into the whole Bot situation, they...

Re: Are there no moderators here?

This is probably a stupid question to ask, but, are there no moderators in this forum to delete offensive posts, block offensive posters, etc.? I've been a part of one online community or another for many, many years, and I've don't think I've ever seen a forum where someone is allowed to swear, na...

If it's consistent with the humidifier listed in your sig, then it's two generations newer than the boat anchor the OP is trying to peddle.

Basic human decency is like common sense; not too common.

What a shame a good forum has to be ruined by a few people.

Re: OT - Severe Sciatica Help

The "number of locations" is not a statement or validation of the efficacy of the treatment. There are many strip mall LASIK shops, too, but I wouldn't trust them with my eyesight.
