Re: Sleep Apnea and Seizures

Since starting cpap 3 years ago, I have only had one seizure. Prior to cpap, I had 3-6 a year. The only thing I was ever told was that my brain waves were abnormal. About 6 months ago, saw my neurologist and the same tests were done. Everything was normal. I like to think that my cpap is the reason ...

Re: Question for those with GK420E

Got it all dried out. I put it on the machine backwards and ran it for about half an hour. Thanks for the help everyone!

Thanks Will. I do have the software. It has been a lifesaver as well as this forum.

Question for those with GK420E

I got a new hose and though I typically don't wash it, I thought I should before first using it. I forgot to put the little plugs on the sensor line and I can see water in it. I am afraid to use it now. I don't want to damage my apap. Should I just buy a new one?

Re: Blood Sugar/Blood Cholesterol/Blood Pressure?

I have been a diabetic for 30 years and on apap for about 2 and a half. My last A1c was 6.0. My Dr actually had me lower my insulin dosage. I like to think this is due to successful therapy.

Re: sneezing non-stop with constant runny nose!

Are you using a humidifier? I had the same problem until I started using one.

Re: How many have Diabetes

Thanks DreamStalker. That was very interesting reading. I will definately save that. Even after 30 years, I have alot to learn. I work as a waitress during dinner rush. I eat the same thing every day before I start work because I know it will keep my blood sugar from falling while I'm running around...

Re: How many have Diabetes

I have not eliminated carbs completely but I am very careful as to when and how much I eat. I check my blood sugar many times a day.

Re: How many have Diabetes

I have been diabetic since I was 7 years old(37 now). I took insulin once a day until I got pregnant at age 20. About 4 months into my pregnancy, they had me taking insulin twice a day and told me that I would probably never go back to taking it just once a day. They were right. I still take it twic...

ultra mirage

I received my first full face mask a couple of days ago. I love it! No more taping for me. Unfortunately, I lost the booklet that came with it. It's the ultra mirage. Does anyone know a way to get this? Thanks.

Re: Questions for those with asthma

Well, I was back to my dr 2 days ago because I was struggling to breathe yet again. He put me on 9 days of prednisone but said he couldn't keep doing that because it wasn't meant to be used long term. I am an insulin dependent diabetic and my blood sugars are running very high right now. I am taking...
