I have two thoughts in response. I should preface this by saying we are talking about obstructive sleep apnea, not central nervous system apnea (or a combination). Most of us never knew we had apnea. It was our sleep partners that knew we stopped br…
You vote has been counted.
I am touched by your story Laurie. My heart goes out to you and your children. I have had sleep apnea for at least 30 years, treated for at least 17 (on my third machine). I have used CPAP faithfully for all that time. The doctors have labeled mine…
I see most people seem to like #14. Just one more opinion, I don't think I would have associated being tired with sleep apnea. It took for to convince me, I was in my 40s before diagnosed for something I am sure I hand in my twenties. Yes I have the…
I use bottled saline solution. I feel congested most of the time. Especially after I wake in the morning, the sinus begin to drain thick mucus.

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 am 58 years old and I have sleep apnea.

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!

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…
Thanks to Liz for getting this started.
I'm 41 soon will be 42 in June & I have sleep apnea found out about 2 years ago.
