the Keto Diet ... you can hardly eat anything.

That's the secret - calorie restriction. Nothing more. (Diabetics are the exception.)

Let it loose

Blaming the CPAP seems at the low end of "conservative".

"We still don't know what sleep apnea is."--Dr. Barbara Phillips. Let me add, she may not know what sleep apnea is, but I sure as hell do. If I ever forget, a 30-minute nap on the sofa without CPAP will sure remind me. She's exaggerating to attract attention. Exactly! I never read articles with hea...

After having used four highly recommended sleep docs in high-income zip codes of major urban areas, I don't trust any of them. The only people I trust are the ones developing machines and masks. They have made great progress since I started treatment many years ago. Also, kudos to the guy who produc...

Purchased on Monday for $169 . Got a call a few hours later from CPAP.com asking if it was ok to reduce the price to $132.

What did you tell them?

Chest strap sensors need to be coated with water before use however.

This is a misleading statement. When I am putting on the strap, I place one drop of water with my finger tip on each of the two areas where the sensors are. The strap will send signals to the phone all night.

do most people that have mouth issue with air normally go to a full face mask?

That's what they are designed for.


With your low pressure requirements, it should be easy to use a FFM.

I know men who never wash the kitchen floor either.

I know women who clean the bottom of their dinner plates.

I've been a SoClean user for about 3 years now. I generally avoid things that I think are 'overmarketed'. Also, my wife and I were very hesitant to spend the money but after a recent bout I had with pneumonia we decided to splurge. No, you two didn't decide to splurge. You decided to burn money. Th...

I was ok with the CPAP although it seems sorta drastic to do the CPAP ritual going to sleep then waking up and doing the cleaning ritual. If 50% of your problem with CPAP is a daily cleaning ritual, you need to adopt a more reasonable cleaning ritual. And what is with the nightly ritual? You just t...

As often argued here, a sleep study is just a one-night snapshot. Arguably, he'll know it works when he has been using it at home without CPAP, is able to tolerate the device and starts to feel healthy.

I do hope something works for him.

Well, Pugsy, you said it works well for lzicc. Dental devices can work well for some people and you were fortunate enough to be one of those people. But, as he has confirmed again this morning, no one knows whether it works for him. I still need to start using just the device without CPAP so my body...

I got used to the device fairly quick, but I am waking up tired when using the device so I have been using both, the CPAP and Oral applicance

If you couple divine intervention with lifestyle and diet changes you have a very powerful force for healing.
