I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea 9 months ago. Having 80 episodes a night with my oxygen levels going down to 36%. I was given a cpap and with a pressure set to 15 with a 3 point variable on this setting.
I have used it every night since getting it but felelt really ill with all the symptoms I had before starting the cpap, even with the pressure set to 15. My data card said my AHI was down to 3 and that all is well.
The pressure suddenly went up to 17 for approx 1 month and I began to feel better which was great. Then it dropped again and all the symptoms came back including the neurological problems with memory and clear speech. The sleep clinic told me there is no way my symptoms have anything to do with the OSA. Im feeling confused because on a pressure of 17 I feel ok and anything lower I feel dreadful. Is it possible to have great clinical data and still suffer the symptoms of OSA if the setting is not suited to an individual therapuetic level?
I think I've had this a long time and with the severity of my OSA, how can I find out about any potential brain damage that might have occured? My cognitive ability is definitely a lot less than it used to be. My left foot also drags at times now.
The other thing that has started to happen is that when I wake up, I can be fully awake, have a conversation etc but cannot get my eyelids to open without physically pulling them open.
Diagnosed in 2001 with moderate obstructive sleep apnea. During the overnight test, I had 19 events per hour. Was feeling like a zombie during the day and sleeping at my work desk with my office door closed. I used the CPAP with nasal pillows (and eventually humidifier) every night but usually took it off in my sleep after about 4 hours. It was a real struggle for the first couple of months to even use the darn machine. Sore nose, sore upper lip. Sore cheeks from straps. I called it my iron mask. But I used it … until about 4 months ago. After 15 years, three machines, and countless accessories, I decided that I always sleep on my side and wake up in the same position as I am when I go to sleep. I do not roll over on my back during the night. I use an oximeter to record my oxygen saturation levels and they are regularly 90 – 95 throughout the night with few exceptions. With the CPAP the saturations are 95 to 99. My wife tells me that I snore when I don't use the CPAP but I don't see any evidence that I stop breathing from the oximeter readings. I am a 2 phase sleeper – with or without the CPAP – because I have other medical conditions that cause me to sleep/stay in bed only 4 to 5-1/2 hours a night. I stay up as late as I can so that I am really tired then go to bed and fall asleep within a few minutes. I get up and go about my morning rituals then go back to bed after about 3 hours. I sleep another 2 to 3 hours (without my CPAP). I'm then good for the rest of the day, which lasts about 16 hours. The sleep doctors told me back in 2001 that I had excess tissue in my throat that caused the OSA. They said it was a risky procedure to remove it and in my case probably wouldn't make much of a difference. I do have a fairly thick neck which is considered an indicator for OSA. I am going to use a digital record in a few days to record my sleeping to see if my breathing is regular or I appear to have any times when I am struggling to breath or actually stop breathing. If everything is good, then I'm content that I can continue to sleep without my CPAP. Maybe I'm kidding myself but enough is enough with the CPAP. I gave it my all, which in my case was about 4 hours per night. Now, I'm 71 years old and have less patience with the whole thing. Did I cut my life expectancy by going years before I was diagnosed with OSA? Perhaps. Did I add years to my life by using the CPAP? Perhaps. Am I undoing all the good by not using the CPAP now after 15 years? Perhaps. But I think I've found a happy median whereby I sleep without the CPAP and use other devices to measure my quality of sleep. Not scientific but I believe they work. Maybe someday someone will invent a better CPAP – we really need it. Hope these comments still get to someone since the site was first started in 2009.
I lost my job trying to be complaint with cpap. Sleep walked out of semi while my wife was driving about 60 mph. Never sleep walked before cpap usage. On seizure meds now also from seizure on 10/1/12. From what I've read oxygen in lungs is not the same as in your finger tips. Your lungs are designed to send proper level to blood stream. The brain is in-volved through brain stem to trigger breathing. Why do people practice deep breathing? At sleep lab I went to none of that was addressed. In my teens I was a mouth breather because of hay fever/runny nose. Using several types of alt healing one which really surprised me was self hypnosis. I can post articles on fraud in sleep industry. The a villi in lungs need dead air space. I don't know how a cpap does that with. The pause between breaths allows better air exchange in lungs. Breath in 10 seconds, hold 10 sec's, exhale 10 seconds. From what I've read most of us don't breath that way.. You will fail a sleep test with a 10 sec pause in breathing. So test is designed for people to fail.. For me I think the cpap supplied enough air the brain thought I was awake. Causing sleep walking. Also the sleep test not valid at higher elevation. I was at about 7,700 elv. when I sleepwalked. In under water diving you can find much info on oxygen effects and mix of gasses used. As best as I can tell cpap is based at sea level. I have pic on my fb page. Billions have been made from cpap. Some clinics in N. Eastern states have closed.
I had the Deviated septum operation done and was told i may need a cpap last July 2015 i put off getting one as long as i could . SO May of this year i was given one i knew nothing about them , i don't sleep good to start with some times I don't sleep at all or maybe only 3 hours a day . I thought i was in compliance so on August 1st before i go to see the DR so he could let me keep it i get a phone call from the supplier told me i wasn't in compliance return the machine then the lady hung up . to me she very rude and thu out the trial i thought i was doing good but every time she called she ruined my day . your not in compliance etc … sigh . on top of that they have billed me and medicare for supply's i never got and some of the supply's they sent me did not fit the machine I did complain about that they ignored it and insisted i was wrong ,the cpad did help me when i did sleep but that doesn't seems to mater i did use it every time i went to sleep i just didn't sleep enough to fit the bill .I'm returning it and all ready told my DR, I'm not going thu that again , so don't even suggest it no matter how much it helped, i don't need the hassle to keep it . and i know all to well just what those study do and mean, i do one for one of my DR's and have for years he asks after each stundy to join new unless there is waiting period i have wait, in return I get paid, get to see if there might be a cure one day for me . i won't lie i do it for money but not just the money . but trying to keep the Cpad when it was clear from the start there was no way I could by the way i felt i was treated while i was using it , like i said to my DR, I'm not wasting more money just to go thu it again when it was clear it did help me but because of other issue i don't sleep well it's taken away because i didn't meet compliance. no lie . I'm sure there are other with similar issues. but with me I'm not going thu it again i don't want any favors just a little more understanding and them caring and not how much it costs.
I have used my cpap device for two nights and I'm afraid that my nights sleep is not being saved to the device. When I look at the nights greater than 4, it still reads 0. Am I doing something wrong?
Are you using it for less than 5 hours a night? When I first started using mine, it was a pain in the backside to get past hours of sleep a night. When I would look at my info, I would see that I used it 1 night but not previous nights. When I tried for 5 hours then it started recording and keeping track.
I been doing this for almost 2 years. The first year was a battle trying to stay asleep longer than 3 hours. I talked to my primary care doctor and told him that I am not doing good on it and that I have grown agitated and hostile due to a lack of sleep. That is not good for a truck driver. He asked me when am I going to see the sleep study clinic. I told him the the wonderful group health sleep clinic forced me on the machine and never once checked on me in a year. 2 weeks later I went in to see an actual doctor and not a P.A. Told him about what is going on and the symptoms I told him, that in scuba diving I would be in a hyperbaric chamber. He did some research real quick. Came back too me and told me that the pressure was too much. My machine started at 6 and sometimes it would go to 9 and really bad night it would hit 12. So he lowered pressure to 4. I told him to think about it. He is lowering the pressure and the results from my sleep study is nowhere to be found. And you doctors have failed to listen to me about my medical history. I had sinus problems all my life. If I snore it is from the mucus that constantly runs down my throat at night. He wanted me to do an in clinic study. I told him to get bent as they screwed me out of $4000.00 for the last one that was wrong. If you pay I will do. But if you don't pay, then go f**k yourself.
Changed headset to a dream wear under nose and lowered pressure to 4. I am now sleeping 7 to 8 hours and back to screwed up dreams.
The sleep doctors are just guessing. Their equipment can not tell them if you darted or snore. Their systems are extremely flawed and they know it. They hate when a scuba diver is a patient. We know all about pressure and what it will do to a human body. Oh and yes quite a few patients dealing with the cpap have been put in hyperbaric chambers from the bends brought on by a cpap machine.
Just wondering if it make a different I hear different ?
CPAP, just drop the P and insert an R and you get the experience most folks have. I was diagnosed with mild-moderate sleep apnea earlier this year. The worst nights of sleep I've ever had came while wearing the CRAP machine. There is no way I will ever be compliant at 70%; compliance is not worth the added time, energy and monetary cost. Using CPAP I experienced absolutely CRAP sleep, it cumbersome to deal with in daily life, and I was getting calls from suppliers trying to sell me more crap for my CRAP machine on a bi-weekly basis. When you add a playful puppy and a 4 year old to the mix, the machine becomes a hazard. However, I now prefer to use it as a very expensive door stop.
I started looking into why my Dr. prescribed me a CRAP machine as opposed to physical therapy (weight loss) or to a nutrition expert… Also, why was I getting so many supplier sales calls when the machine came with a 90 day supply of filters and masks? I read through the CRAP machine's parent company Q2 2016 earnings report. Turns out the sleep respiratory business is their fastest growing segment and where the majority of their marketing budget is going, training doctors how and why to prescribe, and making average people think a CRAP machine should be the first response. They don't hide this, I'm sure you can google any number of companies who make these machines and read the thinly veiled comments by their CEO's. They are in it for the earnings, not to make you sleep any better.
This particular company holds conferences at golf resorts and other places that make sleep health professionals want to go. When at the conference, they are entertained, as well as wined and dined into their own "compliance" box. Makes me think Goldman Sachs must be long on the sleep industry.
To get to the point, its my opinion CPAP should be an option of last resort for mild-moderate sleep apnea sufferers. Therapies people can more easily stick with, but may offer less financial reward for the growing sleep industry, should be methods of first resort. Lower-caloric intake, exercise, and sleep hygiene.
In my case, the CRAP machine was a catalyst of positive change. I shrugged off the sleep specialist and went to my primary care physician (who agreed with my opinion that CRAP machines are not the net aggregate best solution for most people, thus the reason behind a low compliance rate) she prescribed the harder to achieve route of lifestyle changes with a mild stimulant to kick-start the changes, then I signed up for my first organized run in 5 years, shed about 10 lbs through exercise and lifestyle changes, and start using breathe right strips at night. I was off the stimulant as the diet and exercise replaced the extra energy after a month. I was opposed to the stimulant idea at first, as I was lacking sleep; I think taking a stimulant did help during the first couple weeks of lifestyle changes as lowering my caloric intake while simultaneously reintroducing resistance and cardio training regimes to my daily routine was really challenging.
I feel so much better with the "old-school" sleep remedies that I'm dismissing CPAP as load of CRAP for folks with mild-moderate apnea, and who are willing to take the extra steps to truly get healthy. This is my opinion, based on my personal experience.
I wish I had my Co-pay back, I could use it to sign up for more runs.
CPAP would have a higher compliance and success rate if it were prescribed more sparingly, only when there is truly a lack of an alternative. For now, shareholders are the true beneficiaries of CRAP machines.
Every nail is unique, but we seem to be predisposed to hitting them all with the same hammer.
I wish I could have hit my CRAP machine with a hammer and posted it on youtube, I'd be a tosh.o celebrity for at least 5 minutes, perhaps a full 15.
Not to mention fraud. Also a 10 second pause is a set point for not breathing. If you purposely slow your breathing to 2 breaths per minute to relax. You will fail sleep test. Try breathing in for a ten count, hold for 10, exhale for 10. During the time you're not breathing it allows the avili in lungs to work better. You can read my other posts. Glad you're not attached to cpap.
I started using a cpap with a very low setting of 4. I had no follow up, no counseling, no second sleep test to see if things were as they should be. I also had horrid restless legs during sleep. I'd say it was a nightmare but you really have to sleep to have one! I went years thinking this is the best its going to get, bought so many masks and head gear to try to get it right. I was better than before because i did try to comply 100%. BUT, I started throwing it off, frustrated that I wasnt getting air and started going downhill, headaches, exhausted, etc. My dentist told me he was working with a sleep doc in tandem with treating tmj with appliances that didnt interfere with cpap gear or something to that affect. So, We talked and I went to a sleep specialist, Dr Guillaume. She worked with me, I did another sleep study, found I needed to be at 14 not 4, got to test lots of different nasal pillows, did another sleep study follow-up to see if there were leaks and that I actually slept well with them, and left knowing that this Doctor cared enough to coach me, cheer me on when I was frustrated enough to cry, and promised that we'd keep at it til I was truly sleeping properly! It is not only the patient who can't give up but a doctor-patient relationship that has to work towards a common goal. The people who call monthly to sell you more supplies dont know enough about this condition to truly help you. People with apnea of any form need a doctor who specializes in sleep disorders! Not many around. My advice? Dont give up, research, find a specialist. Sleep apnea is incidiously detrimental to your health! It's a hard condition to treat, and hard for one to sleep with an "alien" clinging to your face, a bite guard in your mouth, maybe even wrist braces, knee braces and arthritic cream on (like I'm getting dressed to go into battle!). Well, don't laugh! It is a battle every night trying to find that elusive nirvana other normal people find within 5 minutes of getting horizontal! Sometimes I wack my husband awake just to watch him drop back onto the pillow and fall asleep instantly! So, I put that little pillow on the end if my nose, cross my eyes and look at the wrinkles I'm sure it's bound to make permanent, breathe that high pressure life giving air in and concentrate on not noticing everything attached to me. Mind over matter. Not easy but you can do it. The alternative is fatigue, headaches, low metabolism, tendency to gain weight, increased chance of stroke and heart disease, and really really bad moods! Well, I've rambled enough and given more than what I intended but unless you've battled this its hard to empathize. Got to get a doc, and YOU got to find the right mask, the correct pressure, and keep the damn thing clean and wear it!!! Nighty night!
hyaline membrane deposits [11, 21, 22]. Above a critical PAO2, the hemoglobin-O2 buffering mechanism fails and the tissue PO2 can rise to hundreds or thousands of mm Hg. At high levels of O2, protective endogenous antioxidant enzyme systems become consumed by ROS leading to cell death [16, 23]. Oxygen toxicity caused by ROS progresses in overlapping phases based on degree of severity and reversibility of injury. The phases are initiation, inflammation, proliferation, and fibrosis. Initially, there are increased ROS and depleted antioxidant levels, and the lung fails to clear itself of mucous. The inflammation phase or exudative phase is characterized by the destruction of the pulmonary lining and migration of leukocyte derived inflammatory mediators to the sites of injury. The proliferative phase is subacute and there are cellular hypertrophy, increased secretions from surfactant secreting alveolar type II cells, and increased monocytes.

I have more info on breathing if you want. Millions made from fraud. My sleep is without cpap. I have used self hypnosis for healing and If you like to read think about the practice of medicine and self healing. It is illegal to say I can cure someone because the body heals it's self. May God bless you and yours. FYI Ann Sutton turned me on to herbal care. And book Hands of Light by Barbra Ann Brennan. Through energy testing Ann helped me find an essential oil I have used on my feet for years relief of itch. Wish I had more time to be into healing. I also have experienced healing through faith in Christ. I had prayed for healing while driving. Then went for a walk while in Joplin MO and meet Ann.
If I go to bed at nine every night do I keep the cpap on til I get up for work at 5.
"Despite all these obstacles, there are proven ways to improve CPAP success. With a systematic and formalized education program, along with intense counseling, follow-up, and long-term support, many more people can benefit from CPAP. Ultimately, a major part of poor CPAP compliance is due to the health care system that's dropping the ball".
Yes, Yes, Yes! Our healthcare system is dollar driven. I believe this is the main reason for our failing healthcare system. I am a masters prepared RN with a sleep apnea condition and have experienced the fractured system on both ends: as a provider and a patient. The "blame" for non compliance has always been patient related causing the patient anxiety and guilt. I have lost my confidence in the ability of the system to provide effective medical treatment and to adequately meet the needs of the patient.
I think if that's the level of compliance you accept, that's what your patients will give you. Would you accept one of your patients taking their blood pressure medication 70% of the time?
Perhaps some background info would be useful to you.
So bottom line, between 78% and 55% of people find CPAP unusable.
Most people find CPAP unusable.
After looking at many studies regarding what they call "compliance" or "adherence" the numbers above look to me to be what I have read elsewhere. Yes I really do believe that it could be as low as 22% of people being able to use CPAP long term!!
CPAP can help to lessen the effects of airway collapse from anatomic causes. But nonanatomic causes are involved some 56% of the time. Most of the time.
The noise, vibration, and discomfort of CPAP use are not likely to help with "arousal threshold" issues. Indeed one would think they may well exacerbate them. I believe they do with me.
High "loop gain" (ventilatory control loop gain) is exactly what leads to hypocapnic central apnea. Breath too much, loose too much carbon dioxide going below the "apneic threshold" and a central apnea you will have.
As I first started reading about finding the hypocapnic apneic threshold (AT) they appeared to simply be raising CPAP pressures to invoke the central apnea. In today's research dealing with determining the AT they tend to use timed pulses of pressure to increase breathing volume.
What I find is that very simply the higher my CPAP pressure is the more I have a tendency to experience unstable breathing and "clear airway apneas" (likely hypocapnic central apneas). CPAP pressure does indeed seem to be a "plus" factor regarding respiratory control loop gain.
So CPAP pressure tends to exacerbate the "control loop gain" issues.
Another thing is that control loop gain and likely arousal threshold are not stable parameters. When I experienced traumatic stress I actually found myself hyperventilating to the point of aura during the daytime. The anniversary of the traumatic event, getting used to a new outside temperature (hot or cold), and even too much exercise – all of these I have tracked to being associated with the development of unstable breathing (loop gain problems) in my nightly CPAP data.
I track my CPAP data regularly and so can and do respond to problems as they crop up. But the normal procedure is to set things up and let them be.
It is no wonder to me that most people find CPAP unusable.

Great Article, I have to totally agree. I have only been on Cpap a little over 2 months but I am already a living example of it. I am 100% compliant but I am still waking up 6-8 times a night. For the first month I literally sat in bed awake most nights using Cpap for 4 hours just to be "compliant" and I still could not sleep. After meeting the 4 hour min and still not falling asleep I would take it off and actually sleep. For the first month If I did manage to sleep I would wake up in a panic soon afterwards as I turned onto my side and the machine would get a leak. Now I am able to sleep after about 3 hours with it but I still wake up every time it gets a leak. I was sent to the sleep center when I started falling asleep during the day at work and on my commute to work. When I was diagnosed I was told CPAP would make me feel much better. I was very determined because the last thing I wanted to do was to have to give up my job. But sadly CPAP did not help and actually made things worse so I had to resign. Sadly the sleep doc only wanted to talk about sleep apnia, Not the fact that I was having serious difficulty falling asleep in the first place and have some type of movement issue. Insurance refusing to do an on sight sleep study did not help. To make a long story short 100% compliant does not mean 100% better, especially if you are looking at Apnia without looking at other issues that might effect the situation.
I am a long-time CPAP/BiLevel user-got my first machine in 1988 and have used it faithfully ever since I first received my old Healthdyne CPAP. My original doctor at Washington University center spent a lot of time reviewing my diagnostic and titration results and he put the fear of the Lord into me that I must use my machine. It was approached as a VITAL health issue.I was not on Medicare then, and my private insurer did not follow any "compliance" routine.
Like many other patients, I experienced a lot of mask problems, and masks were really not very good back then, however I was grimly determined to use the machine. I succeeded in spite of the mask issue, and I had quick improvement of my condition. Prior to using CPAP I woke with a headache every day. All that went away, and I am now 86+ years and in vigorous good health. And I am a fervent disciple of diagnosing and treating sleep apnesa.
I hear your pain!!! It took me a good 6 months just to acclimate to the process. No help from the medical community except, "it takes time." I decided to take back my control and educate myself on the condition and treatment through research. My best research came out of Israel. I have a graduate degree in biological sciences so I tend to question everything, not a good habit to have with medical personnel. I found establishing a routine sleep hygiene program worked for me. I have changed my controls, to auto and adjusted pressures and ramp. The CPAP has a software package that you can monitor parameters on a PC which helped me to tract my efforts. I and use nasal pillows which require less pressure and does not have problems with large leaks because of the minimal surface area.
I could not believe the lack of support and narrow knowledge base from some of the medical community involved in sleep apnea. I am finally a success with AHI numbers from 2-6, a far cry from the 30 and 40 I was at for the first six months. Their concern with compliance is directly related to reimbursement. If a patient is not compliant, they don't get their money.
DreamStation Auto CPAP DSX500T11. from Lincare. Then I started getting medical bills and found out the state wasn't paying premiums, and that Medicare now has a $160 deductible before they start paying 80 percent. Which I am still thankful for, bc each sleep.study was billed to Medicare at $2,000 each. My remaining doctor bill was roughly $160, and I have roughly $300 to pay still on the sleep studies. The doctor 's "most mild option" of blood pressure medication gave me a pretty good allergic reaction including throat closing, which is always a fun activity. So that scared me for good into going back to natural means in weight, diabetes, and blood pressure control. The cpap machine company, Lincare did what you mentioned above about being in "compliance". More on that on a minute. Natural means are not supported by Medicare, therefore, it is not cost effective for me to continue to pay $140 a month out of my $900 a month check for healthcare I will rarely, if ever, use. I will save up, instead, and get periodic blood work done. I also bought a blood pressure cuff and blood sugar tester. I now have current and past A1C bloodwork. I have been following the diabetic diet and low carb, all natural foods, as well as daily exwrcise. I wasn't behaving with my diet or exercising before. I also saw a drop by 20 points in my blood pressure using edible CBD strain marijuana (CBD is the non "high" strain, unlike the THC dominate strains that people use recreationally here in WA- I do not use to get high and I fact, don't enjoy being impaired AT ALL, so I am very specific in my dosage and limit it's use for stress control only about once a month for a few days, focusing g I stead on adressING the core issues, that I am a fat diabetic with high blood pressure- the cpap machine was one more facet of this approach).
I cancelled the insurance, which was a doozy, and another long, convoluted story/nightmare that I won't get into here. My mother in law was gracious and bought me the same machine from Amazon for….. $499, plus all the parts. Minus that wireless modem, which I didn't like anyway. I didn't like being monitored in real time, and I didn't like it that the state required Lincare to have me fill out some random form that they wanted the address and name, phone number of where I plan to evacuate to in case of a natural disaster or emergency. Thay is NONE of their business! So I plugged in both machines, and went through all the settings, one by one, and made them both match. This week I am returning the rental machine to Lincare, and I expect another argument, bc these health care people don't like it when you drop Medicare and pay for things yourself. They don't like it when you want to be independent of then either, I noticed, and warn me that I am too dumb, basically, to figure out a simile machine and to know whether or not I am breathing. I actually used to build and program computers, imagine that! Boy, I must be as dumb as a stump!
So now I still have that issue once in a while, like this morning when I woke up and the machine showed 2.5 hours when I had slept at least six. But I don't have to worry about some snottype old woman who is NOT listening to my concerns, telling me I am not in "compliance". I have found myself breathing with my mouth open, so I will bet that's it, and they have those chin straps on Amazon, too.
14 months of Medicare premiums would equal the amount Lincare would charge me for that machine. I purchased it for a third of that price, minus the hassle and condescending attitude, and ridiculous monitoring by Medicare. The machine DOES make me feel better, when it is working. I have energy, lower blood pressure, and an upbeat attitude.
I think enabling people to get OFF the government teat as much as possible is the way to go, empowering them to make their OWN life decisions.
And I too, hate that word, "compliance", because that word is just a trigger for me. I feel like the government wants us in "compliance" in almost every aspect of our lives, not just some breathing machine. That doesn't set well with me.
I have to use the machine to keep my job , I usually only sleep about 4 hours a night , they say I need to Sleep 8 hours ??? A full night of me wearing it I would use it all night and it would only register 40 minutes , they say I have very moderate sleep apnea only in morning hours but the machine is set on high like 7-12 which is way to high , they say Im not being compliant and if the machine says I only slept 40 minutes then the machine doesnt lie , it's really stressing me out so now I cant sleep cause I'm going to lose my job??? So Im sure I going to be fired very soon !!!
Cpap insurance compliance is crap if you know you don't sleep well with something like an elephant's trunk attached to the front of your face. If you know you function better with a mouth guard, the insurance companies should get the heck out of your way and treat you like you have a brain, and let you have your preference. Having to go through the same garbage each time you need a new mouth guard is BS.
I am using Bi-Pap and several people at work, who don't know I started using Bi-Pap, say "you look like crap". As the day goes on, I get dark circles under my eyes. Almost looks like black eyes from being punched. I ended up with severe bronchitis, bloody noses, and strange dreams that are more like nightmares, in which I've never had before. Very hard to stay awake. My weight is high normal for a Male – 155 pounds, 5′ 6″. I spend 8 hours a week at the Gym.
I'm about to give up on CPAP/bi-PAP therapy.
The health care company wants me to return the machine for non-compliance. I had stopped using it because I was having an increase of central apnea on it. I called my doctor and got a titration study but could not get a follow up appointment for several months.
Now they say I'm not complaint. Why would I continue to use a machine that is making me sicker?
Returning the machine tomorrow. They want me to pay several hundred dollars for when I had the machine even though I'm fully insured.
I've been on and off CPAP therapy for almost 10 years and never had a positive result. I've tried every mask and device under the sun. I've tried with and without humidifiers. It doesn't work for me.
I was initially diagnosed with sleep apnea around 18 years ago, then more recently around around 7 years ago. After the second diagnosis I treated it with a cpap machine, which I purchased out of pocket due to the lack of insurance. It helped considerably and I am extremely reliant on it. Within the last year or so the type of mask I have been using has added to my neck pain, so I decide to see a doctor again to potentially get some upgraded/different equipment. I was scheduled for a sleep study. When I went to the study I was asked to sleep without the use of a cpap mask. I reluctantly attempted briefly, but did not sleep, I discontinued the study. I haven't intentionally slept without a cpap mask in about seven years. Why would I , so I could wake up with a sore throat and a headache or maybe not wake up at all? I understand that the insurance needs proof of my condition, but I refuse to do harm to myself just to make a point. Do you blame me, isn't there a better way?
Hi John if you read my other blogs you will know I am not a true fan of the way the Cpap is prescribed however those masks are not one size fits all. I suffer neck pain as well and thought to share something. You may already know of it but a Philips Respironics DreamWear under the nose nasal mask with or with the Premium Chin Strap 1012911 has saved me so much pain and my wife just loves it no more noise or blowing air. Med Frame W/HGR, GBL. I no longer need the chin strap as my mouth now stays closed on its own a good thing. Respironics Inc. 1001 Murry Ridge Lane. Murrysville, PA 15668. Other nasal masks dried out my nose with nose bleeds and discomfort and I thought a mask forever but this one is the bomb.
Thank you very much for the information. i am definitely in need of a new style of mask which don't have a strap around the neck. I will take a look at the one you are using.
I am two weeks into CPAP treatment. So, far only able to sleep with the machine operating on two nights. I "practice" during the day, in a chair….four hours minimum. (working toward compliance!) Still, the number of "incidents" is greater than my original sleep study result. Breathing is a great effort. When I want actual sleep, I do not use the machine! Is this worthwhile?
I am on my 3rd year with a stupid cpap machine. You can practice all you want. But when a doctor does not know your breathing habits, your sleeping habits or your lifestyle. Then they are guessing what pressure range your cpap machine should be set at. When I was first put on it. They set the low end of the pressure at 6 and the high end at 16. The head gear was a nasal pillow. I use to sleep 8 to 12 hours a night. That took me down to 4 to 6 hours a night. I use to get up and go out and do things with little to no problems. First on the cpap machine, I ended up becoming lazy and gained 30 pounds of weight because I was always too tired to go do things.
The first doctor never once checked up on me then entire year. I kept calling my primary care doctor and he wouldn't listen to me. Finally I go in for my appointment for my blood pressure medicine. I fell asleep in the treatment room. It took the doctor a couple minutes to wake me up. He wanted to test me again for diabetes. I told him that I was forced onto the cpap machine and the doctor never once checked up on me. Plus he saw I gained 30 pounds. Within a week I was back in the sleep doctors office. The check in sheet they ask you to fill out so they know where to begin with your appointment. I had check every box as having problems with. The new doctor they put me with read over my sheet and talked to me. They took a look at my machine and also the settings plus the mask I was using. Then he asked why I didn't get ahold of them sooner. I looked at him and flat out told him that I was forced onto this stupid machine and the doctor failed to keep in touch with me. Plus I told him that if they are going to force people onto a machine that is basically an air compressor that they better learn diving medicine. He asked why. I told him that in diving we do not use that much air. If our tanks and regulators were set to free flow, we still would not get the amount of air that the cpap machine forces into us. Plus we would have the bends and be in a hyperbaric chamber for hours if not days to decompress. Within 5 minutes he had the technician lower my low end to 4 and never touched the high end. At 4 I can fall asleep easy. But I wake up a few times a night having to adjust the straps and the nose piece and hit the ramp button so I can go back to sleep. I have an appointment on the 23rd of febuary. Now maybe I can get the idiots to understand that it does not take much pressure on the mask to get it to close down and cause the cpap machine to take off on raising the pressure. Which it ends up waking me up and keeping me awake.
You are not the only one that is suffering from the dreaded cpap machine. Think about all of us truck drivers who are being forced onto these machines. Every day more and more truck drivers are telling everyone where to shove the cdl licenses as someone is making a ton of money to force us onto something that is a bogus diagnosis.
If you go and read up on the doctor who came up with sleep apnea illness. You will find that he was busted for falsifying all the tests and results. But all the doctors are basing things all off his results even though there is absolutely no proof that sleep apnea exists.
Think about this. Why do truck drivers fall asleep behind the wheels of their trucks? 1) in the trucking industry there are 3 different dispatchers for the trucks. Day dispatch is your main driver manager. Night dispatch. These guys do not have a clue about how long you have run or if you are on your sleep time. They wake the drivers to go do repowers when another truck can not put the load in on time. Well there went sleep. Weekend dispatch knows even less that night dispatch. Only 1 out of 3 dispatchers is concerned with your hours and how you are doing. 2) Local drivers. A lot of us have to commute from where we can afford to live all the way out to where our jobs are. (my commute is 45 minutes. We start at 5 am and run until we are done. So if I want to be at work on time. I have to be up at 230 am so I can eat, shower, make lunch and commute 45 minutes away. I am in bed at 630 pm so I can get at least 7 hours of sleep.) Can you see why we would fall asleep? 3) For local companies. The owners only see 1 thing. If that truck is not moving he is not making money. So they push us and push us and push us. 4) Local drivers. Salesman do not care about drivers. They only care about getting the product out to the consumer. (take me for instance. I am the main flat bed driver for my division. I have one salesman who sells 2 flat bed loads in one day. Then another salesman sells 3 more flat bed loads in that same day. My day has went from an 8 hour day to 16 hour day. Also I am the only driver that is licensed to access the military bases in my area. If one salesman has me on 4 flat bed loads on one day, then the other salesman wants me to go to one of the bases to do some work as well. But when the dispatcher stands up and tells the base salesman to back off and reschedule, that salesman goes running to the owner of the company. Which in turn gets a big battle going and me yelling at all of them that I am the only person that is trustworthy in this freaking outfit and the only one that is licensed to access bases. Pay me more money and quit over booking me. There are 5 other drivers in my division. But I am the only one to do everything.) Ok, so now you have some insight in why drivers are falling asleep behind the wheel.
4hours a nite sounds reasonable but my dot physical Doctor wants 80% which means about 8 hours a nite. Is that reasonable? If that that what I need to do I may never go back to work.
I had a seizure using cpap. I had found that in 2012 4 hours was required at 70%. Rules may have changed. I lost my cdl do to seizures after cpap use. I understand the sleep doesn't have to be all at one time. You may try a 2 hour break then trying cpap again later. Of course it depends on your work hours. Years ago air force used a mouth.
CPAP is a LEARNING EXPERIENCE. If the sleep study personnel just put the mask on you, say goodnight, and shut the door, you WILL NOT have a good experience. That's what happened to me about 5 times with the same business, and one time with a different business.
The SS Center needs to instruct you on what you will experience with the sleep mask and HOW to breathe with the mask on and observe you for a while face to face. I mean, just sitting right there beside you to see if you survive about 10 minutes or so.
When they just slapped the mask on me, shut off the lights, and closed the door, I had an instant panic attack. It was NOT a good experience. Plus, keep in mind, I was still hooked up to the recording machine.
Worse, the insurance companies are terrorizing people who need their cpap machines yet find it a hardship to pay for them. Turn over your HIPAA protected medical records, or we will not pay for your machine. This is called extortion in interstate commerce. Insurance companies are claiming they have a right to violate HIPAA. It is a HIPAA violation. It is age discrimination. It is extortion. It is terrorizing people who don't need more reasons to lose sleep.
First rule of investigations: Follow the money. Guess why this is happening. Hint: Apply the first rule of investigations. Could it be the insurance companies are trying to rip off their customers?
The machines are torture devices that keep people awake all night.
CPAP makes me tired. I have to take a few days off so I feel better then I start over again.
Thank you for your great and truthful assessment. I couldn't use my CPAP for more than 3 to 4 hours a night for a year and a half. I finally got to 6 to 7 hours a night. I thought I feel much better. But here is what I noticed. I still felt sleepy in the afternoon, while driving and when reading. Also the skin around my eyes was getting darker blue and black. My eye balls were always red and hurt if I read or used the computer.
I had to stop the CPAP for 3 weeks because I have pneumonia, with severe cough and mucos. Funny my eyes look and feel better, and even being sick I feel no less rested than with the CPAP. What do you think?
I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea several years ago and use my CPAP each and every night. I realized, however, after the sleep study and being given my CPAP, no follow-up has been provided. I have no respiratory doctor nor contact to see if the pressure prescribed is now out-of-date. For new hose and mask equipment I ask my internist to write the prescription for me so that my insurance will cover it. I truly feel that I've been given the equipment and now I am on my own. Lately I have wondered if, after seven years, should I undergo an additional sleep study to ascertain if a different pressure is indicated? I feel like there should be a place to go for authentic sleep apnea information/support.
Sorry for any pulmonary docs out there reading this but this whole sleep study is mostly a scam. It's way too new of a medicine to force on people, yet government has stepped in and screwed a lot of people whose jobs depend on being able to pass all these arbitrary "compliance" rules. I made the mistake in getting tested in the first place. I lost my CDL and had to quit aviation schooling. It took me a long time to get up to 4 hours a night without my PTSD getting in the way and feelings of closterphobia creeping in every time I'd put on a mask. My perfect driving record and 0 accidents play no role into proving that I'm a wise and safe driver. Let's just do a simple experiment…someone try and find the statistics (not from the sleep companies or doctors) of how many people don't need sleep therapy after taking a sleep test. I'll bet it closer to 0%!
I have been using the CPAP machine for 20 months, consistently, missing only two days. Must take it on short vacation or will I lose ground if I don't use it?
my insurance company canceled my CPAP and now I'm not sleeping again tired all the time. my cardiac Dr said I have an abnormal EKG and that it's not my heart it's my lungs–she said she recommends I go back on CPAP. the doctor that was treating me for sleep apnea said the last study I had I quit breathing 19 times but it was mild apnea I don't know what to do and I have friends that have lost their machines too. I wake up breathing with my mouth wide open and I have a nodule ( I have rheumatoid arthritis and nodules are in my body) on my bottom lower lobe of my right lung. I worry my heart will be weaker because of the way I'm not breathing wHEN I TRY to sleep.Being called noncompliant is ridiculous.
Air force used a mouth piece years ago. The continues air pressure is addictive. Sleep folks will not in my opinion tell you side effects. I sleep walked out of a semi using cpap while my wife was driving. Had headaches, shortness of breath, fell out of truck and was congested at time of accident. more of my story is on fb. Look up normal breathing. You may also try to breath in for 10 seconds hold for 10, out for 10 a few minutes during the day. It changes how we breath. I have trained in self-hypnosis for years. I hope some day cpap will be exposed for more of the fraud it has cost. Insurance didn't pay for my hypnosis training. And was done by Billy Branson. One of several books she has is Mining the Silver Lining. https://www.facebook.com/Billy-Branson-Author-Astrologer-130482043774571/ She passed in her sleep July 3rd. I think the web link still works. To me it proves the power in the mind.
I use deep breathing. I sleep walked using Cpap. Look up normal breathing. After using cpap I felt I couldn't take a deep breath. I have other posts. And pic's of me in hospital. It's taken me a long time looking up sleep studies. Babies have died and some blinded. Divers would not use cpap method. Cpap testing not effective at 5,000 ft elevation. Many things are changed in air you breath. A study I found shows the longer a person can hold their breath the healthier a person is. I hope you are lead to research your health issue. If you'd like one example of Healing. Read Hands of Light by Barbra Ann Brennan. So many ways to heal and no mention of Cpap. Several books by Scott Peck MD.. I've done Herbal cleanse also. Ann Sutton has a shop in MO I order from. II've used energy testing to figure out what I need and Ann will ship to me. I've know her over 15 yrs. Can talk to her on phone and feel what is right through her knowledge.
Hi, I think what you wrote was very clear. I found out recently I have sleep apnea. First part of overnight test was fine, second part awful. Could not sleep, freezing in the room, allergic to the glue, tech put on the nasal mask and left the room, came back and switched me to bipap. I ended up leaving the lab at 3am and driving home so I know the results were not accurate to begin with. Doctor you ordered the Bipap seen me for a five minute eval to support the gp who ordered the test. Got the unit pronto, signed a bunch of forms and I was not given copies, had horrible panic attack with air in my mouth after a few days….called, emailed, wrote letters for them to pick it up, would not respond. Then got a call a week later telling me not everyone can use it and they would pick it up when there were in the area. Another week went by and got a call today that the doctor would not provide a release…didn't know what that was about because I don't know what I signed….so they said I would have to sign a release. So I am sorry to say I had an awful experience at the sleep lab, the company did not want to help or pick up the unit, nor was I aware the doctor is supposed to sign a form that I no longer would be using it. Sorry to say in my case, it was just a quick way to make money. I wanted to try Provent since I have so many other medical issues and am up and down all night. They won't give me a prescription to even try them. So I have gotten no help.
Since using a cpap machine for the past three years I have experienced almost total hearing loss in my right ear, severe vertigo and vomiting on several occasions resulting in ambulance trips to hospital and being treated for this with increasing dosages. I have seen several ENT doctors with no results. I was assured that the cpap would not cause any hearing issues.
I have been using the cpap machine almost 100% aside from the odd time.

Q: Setting animation speed at 2px per second? How does one set the animation speed so it moves at 2 pixels per second? Here the length of of my block is 310 px. I want it to move at 2 pixels per second.
$('#one').mouseenter(function(){
 $('.alt0').animate({width: "310px"}, 150000, function(){
    $('#refresh-1').show();
})
 $('#song-title1').show()
});
$('#refresh-1').click(function(){
$('.alt0').width(0);
$(this).hide();
})

A: Set your animation duration to 310/2*1000 ( half second per pixel times 1000 milliseconds ) and your animation easing to "linear".
$('.alt0').animate( {width: "310px"}, 310/2*1000, "linear" );
Code here

A: you can use this code for any width :
$('.bar1').mouseenter(function(){
    $('.alt0').animate(
        {width: $(this).width()},
        ($(this).width())/2*1000,"linear",
        function(){
            $("#button").show();
        })
});
$("#button").click(function(){
    $("#button").hide();
    $(".alt0").width(0);
                             });

Scientists at Doane University have developed nanoprinted sensors that can identify unknown substances, but why is this important?
Being able to identify unknown substances on the spot and outside of the lab is incredibly important, but, currently, it isn't easy to do this without sending samples to a laboratory for testing. Dr Andrea Holmes and her team have developed a nanoprinted sensor called DETECHIP, which she hopes can be used in all sorts of situations and environments to immediately detect unknown substances.
WHAT IS A NANOPRINTED SENSOR?
Short for 'detection chip', the DETECHIP is made up of coloured inks printed onto a paper- like surface. These coloured inks are called nanoprinted sensors, which work in a similar way to urine test strips doctors or nurses use to test for infections. When the inks come into contact with a drug or other substance, they change colour. And, by analysing the colour changes, it is possible to identify the substance.
The paper-like surface is almost like a sponge, in that it has tiny pores that soak up the inks or sensors. The inks are called nanoprinted sensors because the miniscule pores are only 1 nanometre in size, and a special printer known as a Dip Pen Nanolithography or DPN printer can place minute or nanosized amounts of ink onto the surface.
Incredibly, larger nanoprinted sensors can also be printed using a standard ink jet printer available in any office supply retailer. Police officers, for example, might want to use these bigger sensors so that they can test for substances such as cocaine. A larger sensor would enable the policeman or woman to see the colour changes immediately. Nanosized sensors can only been seen under a microscope, but this is very useful when thousands of experiments need to be performed, or if there is only a small amount of the substance to identify.
CAN THE DETECHIP BE USED NOW?
At the moment, DETECHIP can identify over 100 substances, from drugs of abuse to pharmaceutical drugs, pesticides, warfare agents such as nerve gas, and many more, but it isn't being used outside of Andrea's lab – yet! The researchers are developing a smartphone app that can analyse colour changes from a photo.
The next step, then, is to supply people working in the emergency services, such as police officers, with DETECHIP and the smartphone app so that they can detect potentially dangerous substances like explosives. All they would need to do is place a sample on the DETECHIP, take a photo of the colour change, and let the app tell them exactly what the substance is.
RESEARCH PROJECT: DETECHIP®, a small, portable detection chip that can be used by the police, doctors, the military and the general public, even, to identify drugs, pesticides, explosives, microbes that cause bacterial infections, and much, much more.
I always wanted to be a teacher. As a kid, when I role-played with my little sister, I insisted on being the teacher, and she had to be the student! After a while, she didn't like that anymore because I kept reprimanding her for not doing her homework!
I realised then that I had to change my teaching style and explore new ways of getting her excited about "my class". From an early age, I had this innate feeling that I would be a great teacher and mentor.
As I grew older, and during adulthood, I connected best with students between 18-25 years of age, which is why I decided to pursue an academic career at a university.
WHO OR WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO STUDY CHEMISTRY?
I was definitely not inspired by my high school grades. In fact, I hardly passed high school; I was almost kicked out for disorderly conduct and received mostly C or D grades in my courses. I was a rebel teenager with little desire to do anything in STEM.
At one point, however, I realised that I needed to take care of myself and make a living. So, I decided to become an X-ray technician. After a while, I got bored with that, and I didn't have enough patience to work with sick patients. I decided to attend college to get a Bachelor of Science degree. It was during my undergraduate education, that I became hooked on chemistry and nanotechnology.
During my undergraduate degree, I struggled in chemistry, and even though I studied and studied, I still wasn't very good at it. But I wanted to conquer this incredible mountain, and that kept me on top of my game. Since then, I have never been bored again. I still find nanotechnology fascinating even though it can be hard to understand. Sometimes, I'm surprised by significant contributions I have made to nanotechnology.
YOU STUDIED BIOLOGY, CHEMISTRY AND MATHS AT UNIVERSITY. IS THIS A 'STANDARD' ROUTE TO WORKING IN NANOTECHNOLOGY?
To be a professor at a university you have to have a doctorate. A doctoral degree involves completing independent research and a thesis, a long essay or dissertation that supports the research. During my doctoral education, I took organic chemistry courses but mostly conducted organic chemistry research for my thesis. There is no standard route for working in the field of nanotechnology. This field is so interdisciplinary [involving many subjects and areas of knowledge], that nanotechnology researchers might have backgrounds in physics, engineering, biology, materials science or computation, for example.
I would tell myself not to be intimidated and ask questions. When I started in graduate school, I was very insecure about my qualifications and abilities, and I was really shy when I went to conferences or symposia where scientific research was presented. I felt that all these famous professors and researchers would think my questions were stupid. Now, having been in this field for so long, I realise this was a big mistake. I should have told myself back then that the only stupid question is the one not asked!
DO YOU HAVE A TOP TIP FOR YOUNG PEOPLE HOPING TO FOLLOW IN YOUR FOOTSTEPS?
Many young people don't know about careers that exist in chemistry or nanotechnology. My students usually want to become physicians [doctors] or to work in other, similar healthcare professions. I like telling my students that they have enough years in their lifetime to pursue at least three professions. They don't have to decide on a career for life. In fact, they have enough time to explore and work in several professions until they find the right fit.
01 – NO BARRIERS! EXPLORE, EXPLORE, EXPLORE!
Nanotechnology is the use or control of tiny matter known as nanoparticles or nanostructures. A nanometre is one billionth of a metre (0.000 000 001m) and scientists work with nanoparticles that are between 1-100 nanometres in size to create new materials and devices. Did you know that the diameter of a human hair is, on average, 80,000 nanometres?
WHY DO WE NEED SPECIALISTS IN NANOTECHNOLOGY?
Nanotechnology has so many applications, from making smartphones and computers faster, lighter and more powerful to developing nano-cosmetics such as long-lasting lipsticks and natural looking makeup. In nano- medicine, researchers are investigating the use of nano-sized molecules to deliver anticancer drugs directly to the tumour, thereby avoiding damage to nearby healthy cells and tissues.
On the flip side, it is suggested that nanotechnology can be harmful to human health and the environment. For example, sunscreens use silicon-based nanoparticles, and many environmentalists claim that these nanoparticles are toxic to aquatic life. For this very reason, tourists in Mexico have to have a shower to remove sunscreen if they want to swim with giant turtles or in natural water springs. All in all, nanotechnology has many unanswered questions that need to be addressed by specialists.
To work in this field, you need to be passionate about working with other people who have different areas of expertise. You have to be open-minded and willing to go into unchartered territory. You also have to embrace failure and not despair. Research is often full of failed experiments; but we learn from failed experiments just as much as from successful ones.
HOW DO YOU BECOME A NANOTECHNOLOGIST?
Studying for a doctorate degree is one route into nanotechnology. But not everyone working in nanotechnology will require a doctorate degree. For example, the International Association of Nanotechnology, in partnership with the California Institute of Nanotechnology and Clean Tech Institute, offer training programmes and apprenticeships.
The Los Alamos National Laboratory, which houses the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies, is one of the most famous and highly respected labs in the world. Los Alamos offers undergraduate internship programmes and open positions for post- baccalaureates. The salary depends on the scientist's level of expertise. For example, the average salary for a Level 5 scientist is $159,000 per year.
Hi. Just wondering what reaction you get when you tell non scientists your field of study?
People are usually impressed with my professional accomplishment in this field. People always say that chemistry was their weakest subject in school. They are interested in the broader applications of my work not the technical specifications. Thus I usually break it down to simple concepts and give real life examples.


JazākAllāhu Khayran, I really enjoyed reading this post and especially liked the Muhammad Ali quotes with each topic.
Great idea with the focus words! For me, my 2018 focus words are: Zcourage, boundaries and self-worth. In 2019 in shā Allāh, I want to pause, reflect and listen.

Obama speaks at drive-in rally for Biden in Miami

Oct. 25 (UPI) — Former President Barack Obama sharply criticized President Donald Trump's handling of the coronavirus pandemic while campaigning in Miami on Saturday.
During a 45-minute speech at Florida International University's Biscayne Bay Campus in North Miami, Obama said the Trump administration ignored plans left behind by members of his own administration with guidance on how to fight a pandemic.
The rally took place on the first day of early voting in Florida, in an open field on which 228 cars were permitted to park for his speech. Instead of cheering, they honked.
"We literally left this White House a pandemic playbook to show them how to respond before a virus reached our shores," Obama said. "It must be lost along with the Republican healthcare plan."
Obama also directly responded to attacks against Biden, who served as his vice president during his administration.
"Listening to the Republicans, you'd think Joe was more communist than the Castros. Don't fall for that garbage," he said. "I think folks would know if he was a secret socialist."
Earlier on Saturday, Obama made a surprise visit to Miami Springs, a small, majority Latino city outside Miami, to motivate local campaign workers before they headed out to knock on doors.
"Many of you were involved when I ran in 2008, and some of you when I ran in 2012, and I am so grateful. The lifeblood of any campaign is not TV ads. It's not position papers. It's not the debates. It's organizing, going out there and doing it every day," Obama said.
Democratic strategists are focusing on heavily Latino areas in Florida, where polls say Cuban voters are likely to vote for Trump at a higher rate in 2020 than they did in 2016.

Today, I have two layouts to share with you for the American Crafts August Gallery! These will be the last "Gallery" layouts, because from now on, all of the Design Team work will be posting on the AC Blog, so make sure you visit to check out new projects!
I had a mix of some new collections, including Shimelle, Crate Paper and Studio Calico, so I created a mix up layout using the patterned papers and embellishments. All of the American Crafts collections coordinate so well together! The burst pattern from Studio Calico was such a fun design, so I used it for my full background and kept my layout design more simple. I didn't want to cover a lot of the background, so the band design across my page was a perfect choice.
What do you do when your favorite collection has been reduced to a pile of scraps...cut a heat background and use them to back some of the hearts! I only have a few full sheets left from the Plus One collection, so I thought it would be fun to do a die cut overlay on my background paper. The Heart Felt cut file is in my Etsy Shop, The Cut Shoppe. I didn't want to back each heart, so I just randomly added different patterns behind some of them. I love the great pops of color, and that my photo still stand out on the page!
