HelloSweetie, Thanks for the reply. Interesting idea about the fan. I was thinking along those lines - maybe just running the cpap to see if the white noise helped. I suppose I could direct the airflow toward my face as well. I'll let you know. Appreciate the help. Take care. Richard

Thanks for the article. Question - I've lost 150lbs and according to my sleep doctor, I am cleared to go off CPAP. Problem is I cannot sleep without my CPAP anymore. I am using the lowest pressure setting, but for whatever reason I am so programmed to use the CPAP, I cannot sleep without it - even though technically I don't need it anymore. I hate the CPAP. Nothing would make me happier than to get rid of my CPAP - especially when I travel. Any recommendations on how I can train myself to sleep without my CPAP? I am a lousy sleeper anyway and rely on sleep meds - another issue... But how can I wean off the CPAP? Any help or similar experiences and solutions are greatly appreciated. Thanks

Congrats. That is great that you are able to eat. I can eat, but I can't eat slow enough and then that fullness hits and --- whoa! I feel like exploding. Then I try to just take 4 bites and stop - don't get full and feel like I am starving. I'm 7 weeks out. Exercise really makes a difference is losing weight. I do stationary bike for a 1/2 hour and elliptical for an hour, and I see a huge difference on the scale. I joined 24hr Fitness - only $40/month. Congrats on the Libido - I don't notice any change. Wish I did... Good luck to you and keep up the good work.
