Charles,              Trust me, I feel your frustration!   I used to practice martial arts and run for miles during my military career.  Now, I can barely throw around a few weights and maybe get on a…

On a more positive note, my health practicioner (Biologist, acupuncturist) introduced me to a device coming out of Japan.    It's called a LipTrainer and none of your Sleep doctors or technicians are going to point you in this…

Likewise, I've had success  for different conditions from alternative practitioners. I also went to doctors for nearly two decades looking for help for my extreme tiredness and sleepiness. I can honestly say that I never heard the words…

This is off the subject but...I saw a doctor, then a chiropractor, and was told the bursitis in my hip would never be any better (I hurt all the time and limped) unless I went for cortisone shots. Instead, I visited my friend, a reflexologist.…

Charles,        That's a very uninformed opinion on your part of acupuncture 'never curing anything'.  Note, I've used to word 'promising'.  I'm assuming you're an R.N. or M.D. to…

Jay, you can't cure OSA.  It is a medical condition that occurs affecting each one of us differently.  Think of it like epilepsy.  You can't cure epilepsy only treat it with medication.  Sleep apnea can be treated with…

I remain of the opinion that weight is a factor in sleep apnea for some but almost certainly not for most. All I can say is that I'm grateful that, for whatever reason, I am completely at peace with the fact/reality that barring anything really…

I went off my machine about a month and had to go back on it because I had some really stressful sleep. I lost a lot of weight while using the machine this past year. Matter of fact, too much. But anyway, I went back on my machine last night because…

Acupuncture has proven to be promising, although not a cure for some degrees of Sleep Apnea. Sadly, the lobbying groups yell louder for CPAP machines and the adjunct surgeries that treat S.A. I'm all about quality of life and if CPAP helps you…

I have a Large Quattro FX w/medium headgear w/bag/manual and would like to trade for a Large Mirage Liberty.  Or if the price is right wouldn't mind buying the Liberty outright.  Thanks

Lynn replied to Don Dodge's discussion 'Burning Tongue/Sore Mouth'
Biotene works well, so does ACT and Oasis. There is also a spray found also in the toothpaste/mouthwash section that you can carry during the day. Just wanted to reiterate what zollistar said about cleaning your gear. If you don't clean it…
