It was from a medical doctor who specializes in treating difficult cases. He is highly credentialed. The results came from a lab.

Thanks

I was diagnosed with extremely high levels of LEAD & MERCURY. It is my understanding that most of us who live in industrialized countries have toxic metals. Does anyone know if there is a correlation between sleep apnea and toxic metals. I do know that they can cause neurological problems so it woul...

Can someone please give me the link to the DT3500 Smart Card Driver. I need to reinstall.
Thanks

My total AHI for a recent one-week period was 2.8. I do have Encore Pro.

When I had my last sleep study on the second night when they titrate I remember thinking I was cured because I awakened in the morning feeling refreshed for the first time...ever. My wonderful husband who is my advocate asked them what machine they were using and it was a Bipap machine. However the ...

I used to have alot of colds and strep even with tonsils. Go figure.

Tonsils: To remove or not to remove. That is the question. I did a search for tonsils and didn't really get a definitive answer. Has anyone had good results from the removal of either/or tonsils, anenoids, turbinates? This would be without any alteration to the uvula/soft pallette area. My OTO said ...

Hi Ozz, We do need to see what kind of machine, mask, you have in order to help you. CPAP therapy is highly variable. What works at one time may not always work.

How about creating a position as a CPAP Consultant. There are so many OSA sufferers who are not computer literate enough to set-up Encore Pro, not to mention all of the variables that we only learn from forums like this. Just a thought. It would be great if these people were in every city and insura...

I have good luck with Zicam Intense Sinus Relief before bed.
Another thing that cuts mucous in the herb Cayenne Pepper. But take it with food as it can upset your stomach.

I believe that I have had obstructive breathing issues since childhood. I remember my doctor wanting to remove my enlarged tonsils and adenoids but my mother would not allow it.
Not sure is that would have helped the breathing but at this point I am willing to try just about anything.

Please read this and consider the health ramifications of using these products. You wouldn't knowingly eat a dangerous substance, so why would you want to breathe one in?

Then how come we're all overweight?
Seriously, I believe that sleep deprivation causes craving for higher calorie foods. The body is trying to regain balance and get energy.
I understand that a good round of sex burns up around 300 calories.

Whadya think about that?

Thanks,
This is all very difficult. I haven't had a good night's sleep in 20 years. I feel like I sleep in a cocoon by the time I get on my mask, tape and eye covering. I don't have to worry about burglars though. I would probably scare them.
