I tried the CPAP and hated it. I went with a mouth piece instead to set my jaw

I know CPAP's are a tough adjustment but does

It worked better for me. I kept getting tangled up in the CPAP tubes, the seal

Anyone want to try a CPAP?

Need to be careful though. Different air pressure for different people

Not a good idea...

You can easily find out how to set the pressure online for virtually any machine

Is that device over the counter? Name of the device please?

Zach Morris

Tap 3. Professionally prescribed via a dentist. Cost a fortune. $2250.

Hambone

2/6/16 9:22am

What? Did it come with a Gold bar or a cruise?

Zach Morris

2/6/16 9:24am

Is that covered by insurance? If not i would learn to love a cpap real quick

Real G Man

2/6/16 9:26am

Insurance covered $1000.

Hambone

2/6/16 9:27am

What a ripoff. Can't believe they charge that.

WJCougar

2/6/16 9:49am

It's pretty pricey. My dentist was recommending that I get a night time mouth

Hambone

2/6/16 10:00am

Yeah...I just can't believe what they charge for medical devices.

Try both over mouth/nasal masks. Be patient as you get used to it. I've used

This. Be patient at first. Some people give up too soon.

I researched it enough to know that the CPAP helps me and the other ways don't

Wedgetail

Idiot posts like that only make you look like a fool

2/6/16 10:28am

Okay.

Wedgetail

2/6/16 10:30am

OK

2/6/16 10:52am

Fruit and vegetables are ok for some people. Some people eat nothing but Doritos

As a doctor who has both sent patients to sleep studies and prescribed the use of CPAP I argue that I DO know what I'm

Where in this article does it describe the mechanism through which I should be getting kickbacks for prescribing CPAPs

Slim

Yes I do. There were plenty of classes addressing the illegality of taking kickbacks in med school.

Where did you attend medical school?

An article written by a social studies teacher who has provided no in depth research.

Finngirl

But it's the first thing that popped up on Google....

byu_coug

2/6/16 12:07pm

LOL

byu_coug

2/6/16 9:45am

Do some research

2/6/16 10:08am

Ummm... you are clueless.

byu_coug

2/6/16 10:21am

If you really worked in the field you wouldn't be so clueless yourself

2/6/16 10:34am

Wow... You got me there...

byu_coug

2/6/16 10:52am

You're long post is totally wrong

2/6/16 10:58am

My post is totally wrong... Please point out which points are wrong.

byu_coug

2/6/16 11:11am

Right. Go back to your essential oils and making sure you never get vaccinations

HermanoPuma

Mindless, idiot post of the day

2/6/16 1:47pm

Careful, I'm in tight with the big pharma industrial complex

HermanoPuma

2/6/16 2:09pm

Don't tell him about central apneas and its prevalence.

My Soapbox

Hope he doesn't reproduce before that happens...

Tsisquan

2/6/16 1:47pm

You are a shining example of the kind of person who keeps quacks in business

HermanoPuma

2/6/16 10:56am

No. The doctors don't make money off of selling cpaps. Neither does any sleep lab that I know of.

Slim

2/6/16 9:23am

I did not buy my cpap from the place giving me the study

Real G Man

2/6/16 9:24am

Neither did I.

Wedgetail

This is just wrong.

In your opinion

Wedgetail

Just throw some doterra oils on at night and you'll be fine. Doesn't even matter which one

byuTX

2/6/16 9:47am

Oils and a breathe right strip... all problems solved...

byu_coug

Right?!

Wedgetail

No it does..... It's called Beath.

Saying "snake oils" is a bit redundant after listing 2 snake oils

I could lose 20 or so, but I've had sleep apnea symptoms as long as I can

2/6/16 9:29am

Overweight or not

TheHop

2/6/16 9:36am

Yep. I wasn't overweight, but I wasn't healthy as a result of poor sleep.

Wedgetail

I hate the CPAP....but it's the best thing I ever did.

WJCougar

2/6/16 9:28am

I completely understand hating the CPAP

Not sure how anyone could love being strapped to a CPAP.

From a wife's POV , I sleep better with the CPAP. My husband sleeps now.
