I attended a local course for four days, within two days I did not need the Cpap and it has been in the closet since 2 Feburary this year

And was this confirmed with a sleep study

I was titrated at home with a trial Respironics System One Aflex, but it did not have a humidifier. I finally received my own machine yesterday, the exact same machine but with the humidifier (yay!). I was amazed at how much quieter my machine is. I could barely hear it myself, and my husband (who i...

Elena, Search You Tube for "CPAP Choice System One" and you will find some great information on how your machine works and how to use it. There is a 3 part overview of the machine and a 4 part menus review. After watching this you will be an expert in how your machine works and how to read and under...

I'll vouch for the geographic tongue theory IF a MEDICAL DOCTOR and/or dentist has ruled out other causes. I have a geographic tongue. It appears white and has all sorts of "geography" on it--people often think I have some dreaded oral disease. But it doesn't bother me most of the time. My youngest ...

I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of my Activa LT--today perhaps???? I'm a side sleeper and everything else is leaking like crazy on me. I hope my bottom pressure of 7 is enough to make it work--my high pressure is only 12. He had a sleep study done at the local hospital and they lost the darned th...

The group isn't sleep apnea/cpap specific but much of the talk in Knitting In Our Sleep is about sleep apnea and cpap.

Thanks! I found it and joined--same screenname if you see me there.

Reading here and in a sleep group on Ravelry is where I learned that before my titration sleep study. What group on Ravelry? I've been trying to find a sleep apnea group there, and didn't find anything particularly related to sleep apnea. Seems like somewhere else on Ravelry I once saw something ab...

I'm a newbie and still on my home titration study, but the Quattro was working well for me for a few days and then it stopped working. Leak city. I can't get it adjusted at the beginning of the night most nights, and if I do somehow manage that, the slightest move sets it off. When my pressures go u...

I believe Dr. Park has written that studies have shown that upon discontinuing it, people's sinus infections DECREASED (hope I'm quoting that correctly). My ENT just told me it can push bacteria into the sinuses and cause more infections, although I'm not sure how that would happen if you lean forw...

I can't quite wrap my mind around using the netti pot, but I found an aerosolized pure saline spray. The commercial brand, I think is called "Saline Mist" and CVS has a generic brand (which actually costs MORE) called "Nasal Mist". This can be used just like a netti pot--you can tilt your head and s...
