CPAP ruined my life

I laughed really hard at that. Thank you.

 

My last physical was in January and they gave me a special paper to fill out. There was another smaller guy there as well and he didn't have to do it. I was lucky at that moment to realize what it was and answered no to all the questions. Then they left me in a dimly lit room for almost 30 mins, I'm guessing to see if I became drowsy or fell asleep. I'm in N.Y. btw and this sleep apnea racket has got to stop

 

It IS a racket. IIUC the folks that decided to implement this had vested investments in the medical device companies that make the machines.

 

I have an idea, don't use it.

How can something "ruin your life" that you can simply not wear?

 

Some companies, like Prime, monitor the usage record of the machine. I think you have to use it 70% or something. If the DOT doc prescribes it and your employer monitors usage you could lose your job. Big companies are trying not to be sitting ducks for a lawsuit after a soccer mom in an Expedition, talking on the phone and doing her makeup forces her way into the 8 inches between a truck bumper and the SUV in front of him and slams on her brakes. In their mind all the company has to do is less than 110% of everything possible to stop bad habits, punish bad behavior, screen out unhealthy employees, and prevent anyone at the company from having an impure thought about any group or the 109 genders. Trials are decided by car & SUV drivers. Car drivers see nothing unusual about doing 14 things beside driving while they try to exit from the far left lane during rush hour. Show them evidence a big scary truck driver or company didn't fill out a form the right way and they can obviously see how that caused a fatal accident. smh

 

I did not know they monitored the usage of those things, I have always answered "no" to the entire list of questions on the medical card questionnaire whether the answer was no or not just to avoid crap like that; I guess that is the right course.

 

There's lots to be said about eliminating sugar from the diet.
These women don't use sugar and never have and only drink water and eat lots of vegetables:

Most Asian women are beautiful.Here in the states we're all about junk food and red meat.

 

What's you AHI numbers. Maybe you need to turn the pressure up or down . Do you have an autoset CPAP so the CPAP can adjust the pressure when your sleeping ? Do you have the humidifier turned on that help. The heated air tube also helps if you getting water in air hose. Is the face mask leaking to much air ? If your face mask is leaking to much at night when sleeping you don't get the cpap benefit.

 

Try looking at you own sleep data and see what going on at night when your sleeping. This program can read the SD card data and show you everything
