Re: Chinese torture..in the UK from cpap

If you can loose weight and get rid of CPAP, great, luck you are. I don't have this option... Sorry to hear that. 20 is very young to be laboured with this apparatus. But, before think your life is a hell and whatever, just think that are many other people with much worse medical conditions and lif...

Re: Chinese torture..in the UK from cpap

I just got given a Philips DreamStation because I'm so fat (91Kg, 5'9") I need assisted breathing apparatus to sleep. With a name like DreamStation you might expect it would be pleasant, but this is a Chinese torture device. You stick rubber over your nose which restricts breathing whilst shotgunni...

Re: Cheyne-Stokes Respirations

Exhale relief...that's pressure support...it creates a bilevel pressure situation. Sometimes bilevel actually triggers centrals in some people.

Re: Newbie in up to his neck, throw me a line (of advice)

Re: Do I need respiratory therapist to set my cpap machine

Hi! I understand your concern. A little while ago, talking with a supplier, was said to me that I coudn't have access to some information generated by the CPAP, that it would be available only to my doctor. I didn't understand why too...

Re: Going without medical advisory

Also, Julie and Mogy, worth the question: the CPAP made great difference in your life? I saw some cases of success at other topic, but I would like to know about yours, how are you doing? Thanks a lot for the support

Hi! Thank you so much for the answers! So, I have a prescription of the time I first rented the CPAP, I have also the polysomnography. I think that wouldn't be difficult to acquire a equipment at the place I rented the first machine, I saw some offers on the internet too. I'm from Belo Horizonte, Br...
