How to Identify Ourselves
how should we identify ourselves as people with sleep apnea/ those of us who use CPAP? Hoseheads? Apneans? PAPers?
People with Sleep Apnea seems like such a mouthful. Any ideas?

If I would get off my lazy butt and finish the rough drafting of the 3 winning bumper stickers, they would be finished, but I still have one to do.
I may write that down on my things to do over this coming weekend.

I still like the idea of a bumper sticker or T-shirt to bring awareness to OSA/CSA. I know it was discussed at one point, any follow up on that thread?

Hello Mike,
“Apneans” would be my pick . . . it’s has a good feel to it and it carries a sense of tradition from the Greek period.
Also, “PAPers” sounds lively – but, I think, loses its identity to Dr. Pepper – and we, surely, don’t want to share our identity !

How about "Frogmen"

How about the Breathless?
Then we can be further identified as "Breathless in Seattle" and other locals.
So, I am Breathless in Idaho
