It's not spam, and except for Goofy's typo (and subsequent confession) we're not pressing the case. You'll find this is a didgeridoo-friendly audience, and I'm *SHOCKED* that cpap.com is not selling these online for their obvious benefit for SDB and other related phenomenon. I predicted in my previous link (above) that it would only be a matter of time. Here we are, four months later, and still waiting.... *sigh*

I have become maybe spoiled with the APAP and C-Flex and all, but I would consider it an acceptable alternative to straight CPAP. And the noise couldn't be much worse than some people's snoring. I'm even a little surprised that DMEs are not selling these and billing medicare for CPAPs. I guess it comes down to $$$$, I notice that some didgeridoos cost more than some CPAPs. BTW, I am delighted to notice that there is a good didge dealer just up the street in L.A., thanks for the tip!

Depends on which of each... oh nevermind.

Funny, I've been logged into this forum all day to see if I can find any other didgeridoo players here with my same experience, but all I get is people wondering if my original post is spam. Whaa? I AM NOT A COMPUTER PROGRAM!

Anyway, thanks for reading, but if you don't have a valid, interesting, or beautiful story to share about how the didgeridoo has helped you with nighttime breathing and sleepy afternoons, or not, then please don't say anything at all.

BTW, tongue and throat excersizes are no fun without a didgeridoo! Jeez!

Didgeridoo

Don't know if the original post regarding the Didgeridoo is SPAM or not but mine isn;t. I read an articile a while back regarding this. It did in fact talk about a didgeridoo possibly helping with OSA. I thought it was interesting but haven;t tried it - Also don't intend to try it, as I am quite happy with the results I'm getting with my APAP.

Todds, your suggestion is spot on, didges are well known to this crowd:

I dunno. I never heard of a didgeridoo. No offense intended.

Quite alright. Although, when I first read it, it kinda did sound like it might've been spam.

If you live in the Los Angeles area there's a free class every month to teach you how to play the didgeridoo. Here's the calender from the website: http://www.laoutback.com/didgeridoo/events/events.html
