sleep apnea

[Dana]

i remember someone saying they had it here? raise your hand if you do :surrender

 

[porterjack]

yes sir

 

[Dana]

Do you use a bipap/cpap?

 

[darkangel]

I have it and used to use the BiPAP but no longer do. It was very uncomfortable and if I stop breathing while asleep then so be it. I haven't use it in years and have had no issues. But before you stop using anything I would consult with your physician.

 

[porterjack]

cpap.

 

[Dana]

Welll I've been using a bipap and the mask has been digging into my nose. So much so that it has scabbed it and made it very red. I woke up this morning to it being a lil worse. i tried padding the nose but it just puts gaps between the mask and face so that theres bad suction. I've gone without it for 30 years and just actually had a study done back in Sept./October. It let's me sleep better but the damage its wreaking havoc on my nose and is irritating to say the least.

[darkangel]

Are you sure that you have been fitted right for it?

thanks for the suggestion.

 

[porterjack]

thanks for the suggestion.

do you use a full face mask? i do with no issue most of the time, early days i tried a mask that was just for my nose not my mouth, never worked well for me

Anykind of lotion or Vaseline will work as long as you don't put too much on. Just a very light coating will do so that it doesn't slip off.
