Just curious....I have recently been diagnosed with sleep apnea (well, not officially, I see the doctor on Wednesday to go over my sleep study. I definitely have it though). My boyfriend also has sleep apnea and sleeps with a cpap machine, and I am wondering if there are any other "2 machine" households out there. I am a little worried about what the noise level in the bedroom is going to be like. (Um, the noise level from the machines, I mean. LOL)
Thanks,
Carol

To answer your question, I know of at least one other hosehead couple on this forum. At least you won't have to feel self-conscious with one another while wearing your gear.

I wouldn't worry about the noise level - I would worry about your masks locking together for the nightly kiss.

Good Luck.

I am not personally, but my co-worker and her husband CPAP together.

My husband for over a year, me for 6 months. We both have Respironics APAPs with CFLEX and do not have a noise problem. In fact, it's much quieter with the snores missing .

Hi Tom and I are a couple and we both are on CPAP and APAP.

We give each other support.

I am just about to get my Respironics Auto and the wife has had her first sleep study. She sees the sleep doctor on Valentines day (should I be worried ) and she will find out if a second sleep study is required.

Tom goes in tonight for his second sleep study in 5 or 6 years.

He is very aprehensive.

The doctor may put him on O2 only at night.

This will be our first night of not being together since our wedding in August.
