It would seem the solution would be to ask your sleep doctor next time you see him/her.

The pressure from the CPAP pushes grey matter out of your brain into your hair follicles. The higher your IQ, the quicker your hair will turn grey. Higher CPAP pressure also makes the grey matter get into your hair follicles quicker.Taxmantoo wrote:It would seem the solution would be to ask your sleep doctor (about grey hair) next time you see him/her.
BiPAP causes a salt and pepper effect.

Also keep in mind that it can be said that gray hair on a man can be "stately", and on a woman... er... not so much.

One of the funniest, silliest threads I have seen in a long time.
On a more serious note; if I heard my doctor spouting such nonsense,
I would be looking for a NEW DOCTOR!
