Re: Female cpap users

I think the truth is that CPAP probably isn't sexy (unless you're dating a Star Wars fan, and you've painted your mask black), but neither is snoring and snorting all night long.

And I'm wondering how accurate the sensors really are. The last few mornings I wake up and it FEELS like there's no pressure at all -- in comparis...
