Re: Hello everyone! New guy here!!

When I get up in the mornings my nose and around my eyes are puffy for an hour are so, can anyone tell me why that is? Thanks!! My nose isn't puffy in the mornings but my eyes are. I dunno why. I'm still adjusting to the machine, too. I notice I get a few mask leaks in my nose/eye area and I though...

Re: Sleep Apnea makes quick comeback when treatment stops

So yeah, going without your machine can set you back like crazy. Wow, interesting post. It sounds like you are only as good as your last CPAP usage. Hope you feel back to good as new soon.

My doctor wanted me to stop using it for two weeks after my surgery fearing the air pressure would dry out my sinuses. I tried using it for one night 9 days a...

Re: Using CPAP forever!

However, when I learned that I had sleep apnea, it was a celebration for me. I wasn't given a death sentence, but a second chance. People out there are getting terminal diagnoses of cancer, alzheimers, or suffer through some other kind of debilitating disease or illness. Someone here mentioned bone...
