Re: Help please re: CPAP/BiPap and Oxygen sats

[Guest guest]

Carolyn, I'm so sorry to hear that you were in the hospital. I TOLD you to

get better and stay out of that place. LOL

I know Angie is on a C pap most of the time. You should write her for the

most information. I think uses one too and I know there are many more

but my brain just isn't thinking now.

I have my C pap and it was prescribed for sleep apnea. When I went to

Stanford, the pulmonologist there said it would only help me with my RP, even

though I have no respiratory problems yet.

I am having a terrible time right now using it. I seem to choke on it during

the night because of dryness from the Sjogrens. My sleep dr says I need a

heat humidifier on it. I already have a plain humidifier on it. The

insurance won't pay of course for a heated one. LOL I think the dr is going

to do another sleep study and show them that I do need the heated one. Go

figure . LOL

Please Carolyn, write to Angie and the others. I know it has saved Angie's

life.

Know I'm thinking of you and sending good thoughts your way.

hugs
