I was getting ready to take a picture but had an unexpected reaction...

A variation on the recipe called for adding 1 tablespoon of honey. I did this and it sweetened things up nicely.

After plastering this on my face I was getting ready to take a picture and my wife jumped me and licked it all off... Right now I am too exhausted to go through all of this again.

Caution: In the presence of "wild animals" this may attract them and put you in an uncompromising position...

Too late! I took the last three that were getting unattractive, and made banana bread.
I used the new Cake Boss loaf pan I found at Tuesday Morning. It turned out sooo nice!
I've only had el cheapo bakeware for over 40 years; and had NO IDEA how much difference nice pans make!

So when do we get to taste some?

Sorry, Hubby just snagged the last slice.
I was so close to putting a fork in his hand!

This is my 3rd mask from Apria now. I have 2 different full faced masks. 1 is Resmed and I have a nasal mask. In this whole time I have not slept at all and am wearing the mask from 12 pm to 8 am every single day. I can only sleep when I take the mask off. My whole entire life is a mess and the masks have only made it much, much worse.

I'm telling you, some people are not suited for this no Matter WHAT and you don't believe me.

Back on topic. Enchanter, I'm not sure what the point of your thread was, just venting I guess, but I don't doubt that you are right, I'm sure CPAP is exceptionally difficult for some to tolerate, maybe even impossible, I don't know. As an example, I can be so exhausted I'm in misery, yet can't fall asleep seated, and am often amazed by those who can. Literally the moment I start to nod off my head moves and I wake back up, and that can go on for 8 hours straight if I'm on a long flight. So I can imagine that similarly for whatever reason cpap is almost impossible for some, though I suspect over time most can adapt.

Whether you stick with it or move to something else, I wish you the best of luck in every way!

For those that can't tolerate Cpap, What is the reason?

It's time for Enchanter to step up and post sleepyhead charts.

Except with the Mask, I don't sleep (NONE) so what difference would it make?

Why is it impossible for some to understand?

It absolutely will, but it's more complicated than you think and only likely to happen if you post pics so we can give you tips on how to best apply. Trust me, I've done it too and the results are amazing.

Really, do you realize this could make you millions (or HoseC)?? You post pics... you know I'm not gonna do it. Well, you go first... then maybe... and maybe, even with the mask on.

Here I am. Now the thing that may amaze you is I am 57. Your turn.

Thanks for the laugh! Nope, not gonna do it.

What I don't understand is......... what exactly you want/expect from the membership at this point. I imagine that most here have grown very weary of your NUMEROUS threads/posts. I have ! If you can't do this therapy, there's not much else to discuss. (IMO) I doubt that a pity party held in your honor is too likely to benefit anyone. Understand ?

It's not impossible to understand. What is impossible to understand is that you ask the same questions over and over and expect different results (answers). I doubt anyone here can say anything that you haven't already heard in the last many months; and some of your questions just don't have answers. We are lay people, not doctors! Hopefully a doctor will be in a position to help you and might be able to give you answers you haven't heard before. I truly wish you good luck, but the answers you are looking for are not at this forum.

Because you people make me feel like I'm a failure and it's my fault even though I have tried and am trying. You make it seem like I'm just unwilling and am lazy and have not tried hard enough.

Re: "Except with the Mask, I don't sleep (NONE) so what difference would it make?"
This might provide an idea of what is happening when you are wearing your mask with the machine turned on.

It said 18. But most of the time it says 0. But again, I don't sleep.

Merry Christmas Enchanter

Well, no one can conquer this obstacle for you, no one here will be able to wear the mask for you. That is yours alone to succeed or fail at. Nothing said here is gonna' change your outlook at this point. "Do, or do not. There is no try." - Yoda
