Fortunately, I learned better ways of dealing with these situations so people wouldn't get so angry. But not everyone has those skills and in my opinion, people should be given the benefit of the doubt instead of assuming they are looking for excuses to fail.

I am assuming you are referring to me - and I thank you.

I do not get upset when people disagree with me. I'm okay with that. I only get upset and post in a "negative" manner if someone is rude, calls me names or is otherwise abusive towards me, which 49er most certainly was NOT. 49er and I don't always see eye-to-eye, but we discuss it like mature adults. As far as I know, neither of us is upset with the other because we treat each other respectfully, even if we disagree.

Exactly Madalot, I am definitely not upset with what you wrote.

I really didn't think you were, but it's good to confirm it.

I'm wondering if the poster that told me to calm down was poking fun at my name. They did write it "Mad A Lot" which implies they believe I live up to that moniker. I've debated changing it but people kind of know me by the name....

What a bunch of shit. If a doctor gives you a script for a medicine that gives you hives does that mean you need a script to stop taking it? As far as the people out there that get the effect I applaud you and congratulate you for being so easily altered. What a bunch of BS. Get ready to die if you don't use it. Horseshit! I have tried for 3 months to get adjusted to this life sucking device and been sleep successfully for all of my life and now I can't sleep correctly or at least the way this machine thinks I should.

What I hear from people is like the movie the body snatchers, the become assimilated. When I talk with people about this, those that have become used to this therapy they all have the same crack head look in their eyes. Muttering something like this is the best, I don't know why I didn't do this sooner. At this point I was using the CPAP machine because my cardiologist recommended that I do a sleep study cause they damn near killed me on the table and he declared the OSA was the reason. So I quit smoking after 35 years, watch my diet and exercise. But seeing how I didn't do the CRAP, that's right I said it, I'm being non-compliant.

This machine and the therapy is supposed to give you better rest, better sleep but all I found is that is caused major stress and anxiety going to bed. After 2 hours wearing this thing I wake up and tear it off. Could never get past 2 hours with the exception of one night at 6.5 hours. But that was induced by 3 martinis. I'm not getting hammered every night just to go to bed. So I have to agree that this so called therapy was not the ticket for me. Good riddance and if I die tonight all I can say is thank god I didn't have that damn thing strapped to my face. The CPAP users that are compliant I salute you, but life is too short to have to be compliant with something that doesn't do the job.

I am a child of the 60's and that this machine was telling on me just pissed me off to no end. Telling whomever when I went to bed, how long I stayed in bed, how many times I took a piss and where bed was. This type of technology needs to stay the Hell out of my bedroom. Now the fact that I won't play with this anymore has my wife upset, saying I was quieter in bed when I wore the damn thing. So what. She snores like a drunken sailor. So I kicked that CRAP machine out of my bedroom, house and life. If it shortens my life so be it, God didn't equip me with wings or a CRAP machine.
