Re: Is a doctor's prescription needed for an APAP machine in Ontario?

My experience has been very positive and I’m sorry to hear your Mom has been struggling with the process. I was referred by my GP to the Paris ON sleep clinic, about 1.5 hrs from Toronto. I went for a sleep study, went back for a discussion with the Dr. They gave me the choice of what DME to use. Th...

Re: DreamMapper. Is this worth the effort?

I was able to get it to work. Pretty minimal data but sort of cool. I’ve been trying to find a mask I like and went back to the nasal mask from pillows and it is nice to see that it seems to be fitting well. AHI for the first night was below 1 which is great.

Re: CPAP, Depression and SNRI’s

Any advice on optimizing pap therapy or to be honest what that even means? I am still struggling to find a mask I can stand so I know that’s part of it but beyond that I don’t know what else I could do. My machine seems to be set at a constant 10 cm H2O based on the sleep labs review of my tests. I ...

CPAP, Depression and SNRI’s

Hello. This is my first question and I hope the only one I have :D I’ve been using a cpap for a month now for OSA treatment. I have yet to see much benefit but the more I read on here the more it seems to possibly be due to medications I take. I am starting to feel like I’m stuck in some sort of cir...
