Guest guest Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Heya Marilyn, Have you come across many SCD'ers that have Sleep Apnea? Also, what about people with underlying gut stuff- does it get better with Cpap at all? I don't know how you guys deal with all that dry air coming in with the eyes/nose/sinuses. Let alone wanting to talk! Now my hubby can really shut me up! LOL's.. I will post on Cpap when I have some viable info. Getting all my results on Monday. Doc wouldn't talk to me over the phone, they said I -had- to have an appt. Tired of docs. Heh, catch that? Tired of a sleep doc. I liked the Resprionics Comforts Series Full Face mask size M.

I don't know how you guys deal with all that dry air coming in with the eyes/nose/sinuses. Let alone wanting to talk! Now my hubby can really shut me up! LOL's.. I will post on Cpap when I have some viable info. 1. If the mask is leaking air into your eyes, it isn't fitted correctly and you need either a different mask or a different size mask. 2. If they try to tell you that you don't need a heated humidifier, tell them they can guess again. With the humidifier, I don't have a problem. Without it, it would be a real problem.

Make absolutely sure that whatever machine you get that it is full data capable, AND that you get a written prescription for both your machine and your mask. And yes, I fully understand being tired of doctors. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Babette the Foundling Beagle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
