Re: looking for affordable apap machine (newbie)

I would caution against self treatment without diagnosis you might be wasting your money. At least push for a home sleep study. If you met your deductible then a lab study might be worth pursuing. Good luck. If you still insist on self treating then check out Craig's list and look for a modern low h...

Besides, it's become a hijacked political tool of social control and condemnation, and once that happens, the original intent is gone.
That is a really deep thought...seriously... you're thinking critically sir.

Re: [OT] Happy Pride Day

Would it really have been so hard to just let those of us who are celebrating Pride be happy? You do know that there are Canadians who are celebrating Pride? I think the problem people have with it is how corporations, businesses, activists, government officials, etc try and hoist it upon the rest ...

Re: [OT] Happy Pride Day

I don't celebrate "Pride Day" (or month) as I find the whole thing absolutely ridiculous and over-the-top. Sort of how I don't like to celebrate Christmas or St Patricks Day among other things. That said more power to people that enjoy Pride Day, Month, whatever.

Re: Naväge Nasal Care anyone try?

Hi everyone I wanted to update... I received the unit a few days ago but just now got around to using it this evening. Overall it was very easy to use. I used some of my distilled water in it instead of tap water. Then I popped in a saline capsule on top. Then came the part I was most nervous about...

Re: Affordable CPAP Cleaner

Hello all, I am thinking about buying one of those CPAP cleaners. I don't have a lot of money to spend and I have some questions. I have read all those reviews but I would rather hear from folks on this forum. First, do they really work? Second, I see them priced from $40 to over $300. I would rath...

Re: Skeptical family member doesn't think a CPAP would help--how do I let them try out my machine?

I have found generally most people WILL NOT seekout medical advice from even family members. That person will have to realize there is a issue themselves and self-check themselves in. Sound the alarm all you want it doesn't matter until the person realizes their is a problem on their own.
