You worked 10 hours per week, got paid for 35 and retired to the South on a fat pension after 30 years?

It's just that most of the times I've recommended that the person investigate or try using straight pressure is when they've posted that they've been using a range of pressure for a certain amount of time and aren't feeling rested or better. But now you use that same old refrain when the OP is usin...

Who regulates this industry? The problem is exactly the opposite of what I guess you are thinking. DME industry is one of the most heavily regulated industries in the country and most of their money comes from third parties (insurance companies). You need a license and are subject to audits and the...

I know some people swear by that mask, but it has always looked horrible to me.

Was that comment necessary?

It was not necessary, but maybe it you will find it useful to review what else is going on in your life. CPAP is not a "cure-all".

ChicagoGranny's list is a good place to start a review.

Sleeping without the machine can ruin what you did the rest of the night. Why is that? Can you please expand on it? As Pugsy mentioned, we usually get a lot of REM sleep in the wee hours of the morning, and typically sleep apnea is much worse during REM. During that hour of sleep without the machin...

Some people just lead a shitty life. CPAP won't fix that.

Consider joining a gymmet just plain getting in shape. There is nothing more refreshing than that. They say it release dopamibe and improves working memory. ESL no doubt. I'll say this, I can be dead tired and falling asleep at 6:00 p.m. and a visit to the gym gets me wide awake and energetic until...

I doubt many doctors knew it 10 or more years ago, but many of us patients were very well aware of it.

Premature awakening.

18 years using CPAP and I never cleaned the inside of a hose. Have been using the current hose for 20 months without cleaning. The one before that was about four years. As well as I remember it has been about four years since I had a mild cold and I haven't had any other infections. If you clean the...
