Re: Your Choice, your Vote

If you allow some political content now, how out of hand will it get later this year with this exceptional election year? I am very much looking forward to how CPAPers feel about the candidates! Why do you think it will get out of hand? These things are always confined to a few threads. For the lif...

Proving again that you don't have to be from Chicago to be a crooked politician.

Re: OT: Daily Funny bone

The Pope and Obama were on the same stage in Yankee Stadium in front of a huge crowd. The Pope leaned toward Mr. Obama and said, "Do you know that with one little wave of my hand I can make every person in this crowd go wild with joy? This joy will not be a momentary display, but will go deep into t...

Re: I'm a light sleeper and my boyfriend needs CPAP

a light sleeper? Medical science does not recognize anyone as "a light sleeper". You almost certainly have a health problem. Lack of sufficient, quality sleep will be devastating to you in the long run. My recommendation is to keep a journal and write down all your "light sleeper" symptoms for two ...

Re: Reduction in Blood Pressure?

the specialist said it is known that CPAP actually raises your BP at night . Raises it as compared to what? Lying there all night having apneas, having your oxygen levels drop, having your heart rate soar, having excess cortisol streaming through your blood? I think the specialist specializes in da...

Re: DMEs & Government; WalMart & The Free Market to the Rescue

On the bright side most posters here will be getting exactly what they deserve. I learned the forum owners are very liberal with what may be said. But I am still shocked that a nonregistered is allowed to post such wishes on the members. Someone who has the attitude of Guest and spends the time and...

Re: Blue Cross-Blue Shield and Cpap

My husband was charged 3000.00 for a CPAP Test and has to pay 500.00 of it BCBS FED. He was required to take the test to get a new mask. He has been on the machine for 16 years. No prescription would be written without the test. This is fraud and I'm angry as hell. We already have med bills coming ...

Re: daytime breathlessness

Hopefully you have a family doctor who knows your medical history. Call them and tell them about your shortness of breath. This is nothing to mess around with getting advice from who-knows-what on an internet forum.

Re: intro and dating question

My big question for you all is about dating, specifically about casual hooking up. And overall, my sex life has fallen way off, because knowing that I have this disease makes me feel less confident, more limited in what I can do. It feels like there's a great big awesome festival going on next door...
