Thanks Dr.tgrbaitn08, I'm sure you have better expertise.

im not a dr but I do have a CPAP machine that I quit using after I had the rotor rooter surgery.....

1. Resection of soft palate and uvula
2. Remove tonsils
3. Straighten septum
4. Resect turbinates

I sleep much better and I dont have to wear or carry/travel around with a darth vader mask

So on top of taking 70mg Vyvanse in the morning and 20mg Adderall in the afternoon, you're also taking 10mg Ambien???


JFC dude

I did. It was likely caused by scar tissue building up over the years when I had chronic strep throat.

I elected to have UPPP surgery and a sinuplasty to correct it.


It's not for everyone by a long shot and it hurts like he'll and recovery is about three weeks, but it worked for me.

You get better sleep.

Wife gets better sleep because you're not snoring.

CPAP >> marriage counseling.

I love my cpap for the last 12 years, will not sleep without it

My last cpap auto titration resmed from CPAP.COM was 540 bucks delivered to the house. A replacement facemask assembly is about 105 dollars

The technology behind a cpap is far less than anything you will purchase from the Walmart electronics dept.

There are many more pages of injuries from earbuds than from cpaps

the scam.....Regulatory requirements require that you have two separate sleep tests with a combined cost between 2 thousand and 10 thousand dollars depending on the the provider. Some general practitioners will write a valid script for the purchase that will be accepted by cpap.com if you you forgo insurance coverage.

the scam part 2....Referrals will be made to link you with a cpap service provider, that will be accepted by your insurance company. Frequently NOT a good deal as your copays will exceed the out right purchase cost in less than a year, I get about 5 years on a cpap which is way cheaper.

Privacy issue.... In the last two years, bluetooth shipping of compliance data is becoming common place from your device to the supplier, insurance company, state police, and Joe Biden. This is suggested as an aid. It can only be used against you.

I love my cpap..........cpap scams are the worst Durable Medical Equipment scams out there.

My cpap has been life changing for the most part. I'm maybe 10 pounds overweight, but even prior to that, I had severe difficulty sleeping, would constantly wake up all hours of the night.
Did a sleep study and apparently I had sleep apnea bad. Got on a CPAP 20 years ago and generally speaking sleep a good 5-6 hours most nights.

I would suggest trying a mask that doesn't go over your entire face. I found the Phillips dreamwear to be very comfortable and not intrusive.

I have a friend who told me their mom, who uses one, at first chose to lease it (didn't know that would even be an option), but after they got out of that bought one outright. Then they get their supplies from CPAP.com and Amazon.

Will they try to push leasing one on you? Also, I browsed a website and it seems like there are a ton of CPAP machines...how do you pick/know which one is solid?

In reality you’re 5’10” 230 lbs. Lose about 50 and see how that helps.

I’m gonna have to suggest one of these tests to my cousin. He’s afflicted with fibromyalgia and he keeps running out of his OxyContin before the refill date. He probably just metabolizes it quicker

Not sure if you're serious or being sarcastic, but Genesight does reveal how you metabolize opioids as well.
