Here is a question for those that have had sleep apnea for a extended time,approx. when were cpap machines first used and what year did they start to sell cpap machines to patients?

Great link Rooster,myself being a newbe I would have bet that you would have the answer.I asked the question because I always remember a young man several years older than myself who had sleep apnea in the early 70's and died and I always wondered if something could have been done to prevent his death.

Rooster

Yet again you come up trumps

Great story & one I sure hadn't seen before. I guess Sullivan's discovery is gaining greater traction in the world of medicine. As for a Nobel price - he sure gets my vote.

Cheers

Thanks, Rooster. I really enjoyed reading that article.
Now I hope another great inventor will come along and improve on the funky contraption we all are tethered to at nite.
