I have been on cpap for going on two years and have no clue what any of that is about..........my doctor has said nothing to me about this. I would love to be informed on my stats.
I'm out of that age range as I am 67 now but after more than a year of extreme depression I was referred to a sleep apnea specialist who never tested me or anything, just said you're depressed, go to a psychiatrist.
I got my cpap a year and a half ago................have had no follow up...........have never seen a "doctor" even thru the testing in the lab etc. Of course I have to pay the copyay for seeing a "specialist". Was never told anything more than it is…
I have sleep apnea, hypothyroidism and early stage diabetes.....................wish I had you for a doctor as I am overweight also. Eat healthy too...................
I would just say to the doctor "walk in my shoes"
I am so sorry to hear of your husband's death.............I wish there was something I could do for you. I have sleep apnea too.................... I'm a mom of three sons and six grandchildren.
After reading some of the comments written to you.....…
It has helped me a lot..................but it takes patience to get thru the procedure and then getting used to using the cpap.

I agree with Mike, when I was a hemodialysis nurse it was like pulling teeth to get me out to take people's blood pressures, or talk about kidney failure at an event. Kidney failure is a pretty exciting field, too, as it can impact your life in more…
This is pretty fascinating stuff, totally different from the conventional thoughts I have about sleep deprivation. There would have to be some pretty interesting things going on for me to consider trying to stay awake for even a few days. I think th…

I just bought a Resmed S8 Escape II, with the data card and USB reader.
Can someone recommend a good source of information to help me understand what the graphs are telling me, and how my data are in comparison to where they should be ?
Also any re…
I am 60 have been on CPAP since 2003. Sleep apnea caused by a rare blood cancer, I developed tumors in my throat and airways. The sleep apnea was diagnosed quickly but it was 2007 before the cancer was diagnosed.
Not that I have heard. I really have not looked that hard though.
How long have you been on PAP?
I'm 61 1/2. I have always needed more sleep than others and can remember waking up suffocating as a child. I was diagnosed 3 years ago.
You guys are cracking me up today!

i never felt fully rested, even on CPAP, and now i'm just noticing it more
it's a Sleep Geek Off! not that there's anything wrong with that ;0 truth be told, i only skimmed the intense clash of perspectives there but the theory that thread is based on is fascinating. i noticed the thread was a couple years old. has there b…
I watched the show yesterday (it was TiVo'd) and I think that Dr Oz did a reasonably good job in showing and explaining OSA, although the sleep doctor he had on was useless. He put far too much emphasis on weight and neck size as a characteristic of…
