None of the times that I've had a study done has the "tech" spoke to me other than say "stay on your back" and other various commands. I've only spoken to the sleep doctor.
I'm 45 and pretty sure I've had apnea for over 10 years.
I hate to say it but my memory has not improved at all. Been on Bipap for almost 3 years now. 100% compliant. Have a new machine that I have logged in around 900 hours now with AHI below 2, leak rate usually zero. Doctors say that I probably suffer…
Your welcome mi. I'm still not sure if LPR is my problem. My new doctor is sending me in for an upper GI next week. I'm better with the coughing, wheezing etc., but can still hear the crackling when I breath in very slowly. Good luck to you.
if the person that posted the above mssg. reads this, i'd like to thank him for most probably waht i have just diagnosed myself wi/thanks to you!
for the past few weeks i have been suffering frfom most of the lpr symptoms and i was able to find your…
I have a little Shih Tzu (properly pronounced Sheed-Zoo), sorry folks but it bugs me when people say Shit Zu. It's 2 words and the first one does not end with "t". She, Tangerine, is now 10 and has been snoring loudly for the past couple of years. T…
Hi Mike, I like this one a lot better than the one you started with. I think the north star on this one is a bit too bright and it looks a little funny to have stars in front of the clouds. But, generally speaking, I like it.
Some people seem to like them but I did not. I guess it stopped big leaks but, to me, it felt like a little leak all around the mask all the time and the coldness that this created at the edge of the mask drove me nuts! I switched to the smallest ma…
Mary Z, you somehow received a 'canned answer.' I apologize for my difficulty in navitgating this site to give you your answer: I have GERD and LPR both. With the removal of my gallbladder, my GERD became less evident with the provision that my LPR…
You have LPR or an upper sphincter muscle in your esophogus that isn't working properly, thus trapping stomach acids in/on voice box. See an upper GI specialist for endoscopy, whose results will dictate whether you receive medicine as treatment only…
Funny, this question was from back in April of last year. I still have the crackles but it's not so noticeable unless I get a bad cold that hangs on. The doctor told me not to worry about it, it was just mucus in the throat. I recently changed docto…
Tanyaceree, would a person have symptoms of GERD with LPR?

- Hi Janet,
I have been thinking about a good answer to your question. I am struggling between wether you should ask a couple of benin questions vs. going straight to the ADD/ADHD website info. there are a couple of news articles and study's receiently published that offer a suggestion that sleep may be the cause of hyper behavior. I am iclined to suggest the following articles:
www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22881407
www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/04/080407160751.htm
This is a place to start. If they want more information, They can contact me through this website and I will be happy to share my experiences with hyper behavior and sleep apnea.

- Thanks for the reply. I'm due to go back to the sleep doctor in May. I'll let the Dr know how I feel if I can last that long.. I did have a few days a couple of weeks ago when I actually did not get tired at work, but I was very tired when I left work driving home. I believe my setting on the cpap is 11. Not really sure. I'm sure if I could lose 30 plus pounds, that would help but 99.9% of people who lose the weight will not keep it off including me and the 10 times or more I lost 30 plus pounds only to gain it back.

Hi Michelle , the 406 is a very small mask, your nose is small but where on the bridge of your nose does it rest?? A slightly larger mask like the fisher paykel zest or a medium softgel mask from resmed may work.. i work in canada at a sleep company…
For me, this has been the most frustrating physical problem I've ever had, mainly because I can't seem to find a mask that will work for me, without leaving sore marks on my forehead and the bridge of my nose. And then there was the gel one that jus…
The Stanford surgeries do dramatically reduce the AHI of some number of patients. They are not "cures" and they are not universally effective; I would also like to see how many are still effective after five years. I have also had an MMA with a few…
I wonder if you have TMJ or if you're grinding your teeth while uding your CPAP. I know that they say if you have TMJ, you're more llikely to suffer from sleep Apnea. You should go to your dentist and have it checked out. Maybe you've been grinding…
I turn my as high as it will go every night, which is still not nearly high enough in the winter, with gas heat running. I wake up with sandpaper tongue and all, even on max settting. Very frustrating. I think I was overcharged for a really crappy m…
I am 65 - as of two days ago! Was diagnosed with sleep apnea last August, but also definely had longer.
PS: Thanks, Mike for all you do for this site - ANd many thanks to all who contribute!!
This site has been such a BLESSING>
My doctor and provider are the unmotivated ones, and uneducated to the extent that I made myself in an afternoon and a half. Personally, I agree with Brad; OSA is a simple, physics problem, and why there isn't more being done to find a surgical solu…
amen, this a very painful surgery to recover from as an adult. I had mine removed 2 years ago. It was absolutely no help. My new doctor said I should have not had it done. It only made treating my apnea harder.
I used to work for the phone company and one night we had a driving rain that had filled some radio waveguides (rectangular copper pipe that connects the radios to the antennas on top of the tower) with water, and the waveguides needed to be dried o…
i put my cpap inside a shoe box with an open jar of vick near the rear filter and turn on my machine and put the lid on the shoe box
Good Luck! Enjoy Ann Arbor! UoM hosiptal is amazing
No. Never. The results of the sleep test were sent to a capital city 300 km away. The technition did say that I was a very disturbed sleeper.
When I first started using Pur-sleep Aromatherapy I wanted a clean pad. The ones supplied at the time were reusable and I am too lazy to wash them daily. Others suggested to keep reusing them. Bret has since came up with a "disposable" pad that can…
Carol, that was entirely Too Much Information about pantiliners. :) I cannot unread and I cannot unsee the mental picture of pantiliners .
a a , I've woken up with swollen eyes and a somehat sore jaw. The soreness in my jaw resolved quickly.
But, this was when I was wearing a FFM.
A few months late, but welcome to SleepGuide.
