Re: Help I Need to Sleep ASAP!!

You don't want this model machine for DIYing things unless you are prepared to go just on how you feel without any data to help you out. I don't advise it for DIYing and self diagnosis or self treatment at all. Agreed. I absolutely need data. The risks of buying used online. I have screenshots so I...

Re: Help I Need to Sleep ASAP!!

As you begin, one of the most common problems among cpap users is leaks through the mouth. It harms treatment, caus...

You need to control your sleep apnea regardless of the cause!
That's why I am here.

My point was there is no cure for my TMJ so I need to manage the sleep apnea accordingly.

Hopefully my epiphany will help someone else that has TMJ that is causing sleep apnea.
