Just tell your doctor to order an AUTO CPAP with pressure settings of 5-18 for seven nights and it should be FREE from the company you got your CPAP from and that will tell if you still need it!!! It's ALOT cheaper than going back to the sleep lab!!!

What is bipap?

Cookie got it rite my body was poisoning itself because I could not

exhale deep enough because of the pressure from the air, so my doctor switched me to bipap in which when you breathe out the machine kinda releases so you can exhale completely.

Im such a freak, because i have had mine for a year, and oddly enough i love it. I dont think i could sleep without it. I just have a tiny one that just goes over my nose, but it has a calming effect

I'm still waiting for the machine. Slow pokes. Can't wait to get it!!!

I got a loaner until my odsp (Ontario disability support program-Canadian) approved mine... Not sure if that option is available to you? You will be SO astounded by the results!!

I was recently diagnosed with sleep apnea. Just about 6 weeks ago. I do wear my cpap and use the nose pillow mask. I have had a hard time adjusting to it though! I still feel tired everyday but not as much I guess.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
