One year ago today....

Post by Rustyolddude » Mon Jul 26, 2010 1:49 pm

I started CPAP therapy. I can't say it's been the answer to my problems but it's certainly solved a few of my wife's complaints and I'm certainly no worse for it. It has solved my RERAS and helped with the UARS which seems to be my biggest problem. So for those newbies just hosing up, stick with it. You can do it!
