How do you know for sure I'm not Regis?
Well, we would know because you would of course be intensively researching this therapy with all the most accurate resources available to you and your staff, including this forum at the top of your list. And you would be then reporting on the air for the millions of viewers that "nipple grease, pantyhose wrapped around your head, and painters tape to seal your mouth are all a necessary and therapeutic part of your cpap experience with a Swift LT."rosiefrosie wrote:How do you know for sure I'm not Regis?

Now the mainstream has gotten into the CPAP! Now, what am i gonna do ??? How will I remain in the CPAP underground??
Apnea is going to be the new trendy diagnosis.....
Everybody's going to want a CPAP-- soon we will hear Britney, Paris, and the Kardashian sisters have CPAPs covered in diamonds & customized by french desingers.
There will be Apnea ribbon campaigns...

Ya, this forum is amazing....Since I got Diagnosis on December 27th, joined cpaptalk on December 28th....it let to me starting CPAP on December 29th. And, even though i was in a daze getting my equipment, inside I was kind of all excited about starting it...and doing stuff with my equipment. Later reading about software...I thought that this was something I might look at in a month or two. But, ended up getting right away. And, I could see that while I had a good start, I was slowly getting worse and worse....and made some changes and now at least my AHI is nice...Kiralynx wrote:This Forum helped me, too. Still does.

It seems that some Dr's and RT are afraid of patients who are informed. They really should be giving all new patients a link to a forum and pushing them to places like this to increase success rates.TheDreamer wrote:I don't know if I would've been as successful without this forum.

We don't have anything like that in the States, do we? Except for maybe people with CDLs?Froro wrote:klockemy wrote:They shoulda put him in a Respironics Total Face Mask.

It's Canadian speak for your DMV. Doctor's are required by law to report patients who are non-compliant or who pose a risk to other drivers for any medical reason to the Minstry of Transportation. (They can be sued and or come before the medical board/licensing if they don't)
