Welcome to the SleepGuide community!!

I am glad you joined and hope you find it as useful as I have. The forum contains topics dealing with sleep apnea and various treatment options and methods of treating both obstructive and central sleep apnea.

The forum is made up of patients, like me, and professionals that are trying to help find solutions to the problems faced by those that are affected by sleep apnea.

Some patients experience problems that are not addressed by their DME. Their experience with their DME, may have been little more than handing over their machine and mask and sending the patient on their way. The forum is here to help both the newbie, just starting out with therapy, and those more experienced and knowledgeable to find solutions and answers.

The professionals that participate in the forum are invaluable with their expertise and advice on different treatment options and explanations of what is happening.

I hope that you find the forum useful and will participate in the discussions and groups

Way to go, Smitty!! Nothing much feels better than losing weight the right way. And you and I both know that's the only way it'll stay off. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your success with us! Susan McCord :-)

To my knowledge, there have been no long term sleep studies on large numbers of people to determine the normal function of the upper airway. For all we know, the "normal" population may very well have hypopneas and apneas from time to time depending…

Suggestion to call doctor and inform about problems resulted in the doctor submitting a new script to the medical supplier for a full mask. Picked up new mask at supplier.  I asked if the doctor changed anything on the number and she said no.  I as…
