Even with a heavy duty chinstrap clamped on tight I could still breathe through my lips. So I got a full face mask and put the nasal pillows in the drawer. It works fine.

What about aspirin? My husband has taken one of the small ones daily for years even though he is very healthy. I saw this article just now and wonder if my husband should discontinue the aspirin. aking a daily low-dose aspirin to prevent heart disease may actually increase the risk of major gastroin...

Proof of what?

You have used it for 7 days (nights?) and still haven't had a good night's sleep?

Anyone else diagnosed with Restless Legs as well as the Apnea? My doctor said that I had really bad leg movements all night in addition to my high rate of apnea. He prescribed me gabapentin (Neurontin) to treat the legs, and a CPAP for the apnea. He suggested I take the gabapentin (Neurontin) daily...

Am I likely to get used to it? The problem is that it is the dryness that is waking me up. And it only seems to happen during the last couple hours. I am fin until then. Many of us tend to do more mouthbreathing during REM when the muscles do a maximum relax. We are having more REM sleep during the...

I'm six weeks in, my AHI is consistently 1-2, and I feel great. However, a couple weeks ago, my sleep doc & DME noted my elevated VS2 scores and upped my pressure to 16 and suggested adding a chinstrap. My leaks are better with the chinstrap, but my VS2 continues to range anywhere from 3 to 10+ (av...

In clinical practice, the clinician is frequently faced with having to make a decision between a therapy that has a better success rate (such as CPAP therapy) and other available treatments that have relatively lower response rates but are more likely to be used by the patient. In this context, the...

Your job is to lead the horse to the water. The rest is none of your business.

I so agree with you 49er! It would seem many people here are very adverse to new ideas or even people raising the topic of alternatives to CPAP. CPAP is obviously an excellent treatment for some people ... but not everyone and you can't blame people for looking into various options that may be avai...

I've been on beef ranches and dairy farms.

Cows have a pleasant smell, are warm and nice to rub.
