Oral Appliance

Post by damaged69 » Tue Apr 21, 2009 5:07 pm

I have used a product called Therasnore on my last 2 breaks away from home. I could not take the pap with me so I ordered the appliance under instruction from the wife. It was very good and actually worked as well as the pap - I'm thinking of defecting t the other side as this thing is more comfortable and i feel just as good in the morning - well done Therasnore.

I'm wondering if you are an agent of Therasnore, a forum regular dodging flaming arrows under cover, or someone looking for a little excitement.

Anyhow, I would suggest for anyone to get the hard facts before before making what could be a life altering decision. If it were me I'd probably not invest in another sleep study since I have a data capable cpap. I'd probably lower my pressure a bit every few nights and sleep with both devices and see if any events show up in the data. If my machine was not data capable, I'd ask my doctor to order a loaner for a couple weeks to substantiate any subjective observations. If you do confirm it's effectiveness, let us know.

Seems suspicious to me. I never trust anyone that doesn't have the "Posts: Joined: Location: Gender:" information filled out and especially if they don't have either the pictures of their CPAP machine & mask or the kind of CPAP machine and masks written out below their post.
Am I too cynical or what?? I didn't feel whole until I listed my machine and mask. Is that a weird thing?

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone here too, while I just posting something small. If I would not have found this site I would be completely lost about my machine and masks and everything cpap-ish. Except for the few spammers that occasionally put up a post, this is one hell of a good place to check out for information if you have sleep apnea. Thanks everyone. I never remember to just say thanks to you guys and gals. Thanks for putting up with me when I'm even sick and grumpy. and a special thank you to those of you that make me laugh! Sometimes I find laughing the hardest thing to do and then I come here and see a goofy photo and... well, just THANK YOU!
