Was a life changer for me. Went from getting three to five really bad Respitory infections a year to not getting any. Get actual sleep now. I am pretty much addicted to my machine.
If it doesn’t annoy the crap out of you early on you should do exceptionally well. Most people never get comfortable with wearing the mask.
I’m in my home state, Tennessee, this weekend for the first time in years. Im pretty mad about the batshit stuff the state government is up to, but it seems like there’s nothing I can do about it. Sucks that the state is on a highway to hell; there’s some really nice parts to it.
I was in Nashville last two nights and it felt a bit weird for sure with all that shit going on and then I saw kamala showed up too there last night, crazy situation, I’m back in home Alabama though now and it’s not any better
My Cpap was life changing. To the point I cant sleep without it. How I slept prior to having one is beyond me. I wake up gasping if I fall asleep on the couch or something.
I had one scheduled in 2021(?) and flaked out on it
How bad would it be to just order a machine myself, fuck the study?
Glad to hear about your sleep success. I’ve been told I’m an obnoxiously loud snorer. So is my dad, who opted for surgery instead of a machine for his apnea. They told him the surgery would likely lose most of its efficacy in 10-15 years, it did, and now he refuses to admit that he had a good 10 year run of sleep, shutting people down who try to get him on a machine
I am approximately 99% sure a machine would help me. The study is just going to suck, and I know I’m going to get grossed out by the machine no matter how well I clean it
You are required to have a prescription to get a machine. So might be harder to get one without one. Used to be able to buy them on eBay but the industry lobbied to make reselling them illegal.
You can get an at home sleep study these days I am pretty sure. Your pcp can actually write a prescription for it. You also need a prescription to get things like the mask. The downside is the industry is a racket.
Weird. I had a machine in my cart, on a website advertising that you don’t need a prescription, a couple months ago. Just out of pocket payment
Maybe they’re gonna have their version of Black Friday soon, or once I clicked submit it would have been like lolnah, no shipping to USA
Small chance it was just going to take my money, but I did try to look into if it was a scam. Don’t remember the site. I probably just searched google for cpap without prescription
One of the final hangovers of my life (knock on wood) was a Sunday in Virginia when I could not get ANYONE to write me a scrip for post-exposure HIV prophylaxis at any ER or urgent care. Every hour counts, and I’d done something extra risky even for gay sex the browned-out night before.
Found some super shady website of Texas doctors who sent my scrips over to my pharmacy and picked it up 2 minutes before they closed
