countless people here have told you what they see as the problem
yet you refuse to see or see but refuse to understand
either way you seem to be your own worst enemy
look within for understanding oneself my friend
therein lays the answer(s)

You said you wanted to write about your personal experience with CPAP......Based on my own experience, I can't believe that there is enough content to fill one chapter...much less an entire book. Perhaps if you spent less time arguing on this board you could find something else to write about.

What is going on with cpaptalk.com is this the website for angry cpap users? Maybe it is, at least it seems that way, especially compared to the other forum I posted in.
perhaps we simply don't like your crapitutde... and here, we're free say so, while you're protected from peoples true thoughts at 'that other forum'(tm).

that "writer" certainly has got a knack for influencing people... winning friends, not so much.

The other website forum had nice responses

This website forum has angry responses.

Why do you blame me for YOUR angry responses?

Why can't you be nice like in the other website forum?

waaaaaah, mommy, the mean people on the internet were mean to me!!!!! waaaaah.


sorry, I'm out of cheese, you'll have to have your whine by itself..

we, or at least, I, blame you for my "angry" response because you're acting like a whiny little shit, and that's rather annoying.

When you start off with so little information and background........what do you expect?

You didn't tell us anything about yourself, your motives, whether you used the therapy you wished to write about, etc......

You approached us the way many (usually anonymous) posters do......."My therapy isn't working. What's wrong?"
And then they get pissed when we try to drag some information out of them to try to make sense of what their problem is.

The other forum regulates behavior much like an episode of Twilight Zone starring Billy Mumy. ~~~ https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=bi ... ne+episode

Have you been watching the Twilight Zone marathon? Sounds like it.

Nope. I remember that episode from it's first air date.

from the mood swings and irritability of this writer i am willing to guess that his therapy is not effective
perhaps he should dl sleepyhead and post the data here for advice and opinions on improving the therapy
that will also give something to write about learning that simply just wearing and using cpap for years is not the best route for effective therapy
give it a go

Nice? Hitler was nice to friends... I'm sure Trump is 'nice', but if you want honest, grown-up info stop caring about nice. It's for kids, the vapid, and it and 10 c. will get you nowhere. The opposite doesn't have to be nasty, but when you ask for help, but don't provide what we ask for, you get what you pay for...

I think everyone on this forum didn't use their CPAP machine last night.
