It is my opinion that anyone with moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea, or anyone with any form of central apnea or a tendency toward it, should probably check with his or her sleep doc before going on a trip that will require them to be under…
You would have to check with your DME/PCP on the specifics of your machine. Apnea can be affected by altitude, but how it affects the individual machines is beyond my knowledge.
if there any relation effect/ I am planning to go to Darjeeling India, I will probably not be able to use my cpap machine the whole time(electricity?)and was wondering....
I think the the fact that you are so upset is probably not helping either. I am on my third month with the cpap and am logging in 4-5 hours of cpap sleep (but it hasn't been easy), with usually 1 pit stop., but there are nights that things are worse…
i felt better immediately but i got tired early 7:70 - 8:00 at night...now i try to nap if i'm going out...but my naps a 1 hour no two and not every day...my problem is that i can fall asleep but then i wake up around three and can't get back to sle…
i've been on cpap for about 1-2 months..i wear it every night but i tend to wake up around 3am and often i am not able to go back to sleep.. I feel much better anyway even though i still nap (usually without a mask). my machine is a res med elite 11…

scary to hear you had an accident locally, i had assumed that wasn't possible...in any case what i am having problems with is that people can tell you if you are falling asleep at the wheel you have slaap apnea..but they can't tell you you are sleep…

- Hello Carole,
I am sorry you are hearing back from me so late. I am new to SG (and OSA) and you kindly replied to a posting I placed on the forum. I am still getting used to the website and today I noticed that the "Thank You" that I thought I sent to you, I had actually sent to myself ! So I am writing once again to Thank YOU for taking the time in responding and for letting me know your thoughts about Cornell Weill and NYU. Much appreciated !
Best,
Renee

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!

It was my thought that the humidifier isn't working properly. I'll bring it in to the medical supplier tomorrow and ask her. I also want a larger mask. I already have looked in the mirror to see if I can get the mask up off the bridge of my nose by…
I bought the Belly Fat Fighter Diet plan and support (menus, etc) from Jorge Cruise and lost about 7.5 pounds the first week! I feel more energy now and less hungry. My belly fat has been reduced by 2 inches already! It just feels amazing. I alw…
Have your tried one of the rinses for extremely dry mouths? Do you have problems during the day with dry mouth?
Is your humidifer working properly? Reason I ask is that if you used almost a full tank of water in 2 hours and refilled it only to not…
hi smitty --- my first try using a mask was ok but i wondered why they were'nt monitoring my progress. this was my family doctor and i now know that ya need to see someone who does only sleep disorders in order to make sure your getting the right tr…
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…

Ambien worked well for me. I had the 4 hour sleep w/it too. Never did try the Ambien CR.
I just added one Tylenol tablet (NOT Tylenol PM) and that got me 5-6 hours of sleep and after a week of the Ambien I just toughed it out for several nights w/j…
I was just thinking the same thing Judy
And I sure hope that you have listed and reviewed your Dr Spawn at sleepsearch, Rock Hinkle!
We have Dr. Thomas Spawn in Indy. His family has produced a long line of excellent ENTs. 4 generations of my family have been treated by a Dr. Spawn.
Thanks for all the information.. It has been 3 weeks discontinuing Ammbien. Doctor has now prescribed a antidepressant (Doxeprin) and Rozerem (Meletonin) My intention is this will work. Therapy also works.
