From day one, I knew that I had to do this; and it has improved my health, my life,
and has changed my disposition from mean and nasty to quite mellow.
I know you're not a quitter. You've got spunk. Welcome. I think we'll be friends here.
Very true. It's all about the mask. You either adapt and make it work or move on to another mask. Giving up the machine is not an option.

Good luck to you!

What he said (pointing up to lazer)... truly, the mask is everything in cpap therapy. The machines have much less impact than the mask on compliance. Good luck!

Hey Duckdog, you're my inspiration! I've got 10 days straight on my CPAP. WE can do this! Thanks.

Unfortunately, no one can be told what the data is. You have to find it for yourself.

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill, the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill , you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.

Then the next time you go to your doctor, Hugo Weaving is standing there. He takes off his sunglasses, glares at you, and starts with "Mr. Anderson..."
