Also ebay has alot of supplies for dirt cheap.... $30-$40 for a max... works out the same price after most insurance Copay. .. however forking out $300 is alot Harder than $40.... Even hough you get a good chunk back.

Thank you so much for all the replies!! I have been to the sleep clinic (stopped breathing 70 times that night) I have a prescription to go and get a cpap. I just wasnt looking forward to strapping that thing to my face, but after all the positive and helpful comments on here i will be stopping tomorow night to get fitted for one and continue the process.

I'm guessing mto... my doctor told.me has a legal obligation to report it... IF treatment is not being done.... sleep apnea supposedly is one of the few things that they can (patient doctor Confidential thingy)

Just a few of the wires/ electrodes attached for a sleep study, all those other wires over the shoulder, going to other sensors.
I tried and tried, couldn't get use to the mask, choking all the time.
Someone mentioned truck drivers using them, a word of advice, never run a CPAP machine from a truck mounted auxiliary power unit!

I have one and what terry m and others say is correct - you will never sleep better! Sleep apnea is not just obese people. It can affect anyone.

My old hunt camp has a whole sleeping area reserved for hose heads, and their CPAP batteries...

What do you mean by CPAP Batteries?
I drag a generator with me where I go.
What kind of batteries are recommended?

If anybody is interested, somebody is trying to sell a CPAP machine on the Simcoe site.

I use a trolling motor battery and a 250 watt inverter to power mine (my respironics S9) needs 200 watts to operate. The guy in the bunk above me is a light sleeper and he says he can't hear a thing. Everyone sleeps better in the camp now that 2 of us got CPAP machines.

I easily get 3 full nights before recharging the battery

Your pressure must be insane.... my s9 ran for two nights on a 12v7ah battery... and a 60w inverter... pressure 11cm ... of course I didn't use my humidifier...
