Happy New Year. I'm Sleepguy (Bret) and just joined the forum--thanks to Carol and an email contact from Melodie. Carol and I met on that *other* forum (cpaptalk). My story is quite simple. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea about 4 years ago and during the first year had never been able to sleep past 2 am--not once. I would wake up really mad about my cpap and just want to destroy it. Then I would take it off. By the end of the first year of treatment I had stopped using it altogether (I had convinced myself that I slept ok on my side).
By that time I was developing another business with my brother that involved aromatic products and had hundreds of essential oil samples lying around. I started experimenting with aromatics and CPAP and from that first night until last night I have been able to sleep all night, every night, flat-out with my eqiupment. Aromatics cannot touch cpap equipment because they have a solvent effect (and void warranties) so I have created every concievable way to use them without touching the equipment. The most recent version uses a paper tray and a compressed fiber diffusion pad that you place near the air intake.
I have been very active on the cpaptalk forum for the last two years. Initially it was something of a challenge because forum members are extremely sensitive about being spammed with new products. While I have certainly gotten business from the forum, the product feedback and suggestions have been invaluable in the product development and optimization process. And Carol has been one of my happy test subjects.
At this point I have developed a free sample set that I am sending to people who contact me via email (bret@pursleep.com) and convince me they are legitimate cpap users (I recently got spammed on one of the "something for nothing" internet sites).
I'm new to this forum and look forward to getting to know people. Stick with your therapy! Don't give up. There's way too much at stake.
Sleep apnea is not just a sleeping disorder. Low blood oxygen destroys your body.
