Cannot stand the CPAP machine. Anyone wear one of the oral appliances?

 

[AgEngDawg]

Get used to it. Are you using the older models? The older models are like torture devices.

They have made great strides in past few years.

I sleep face down so we did every other intervention besides the actual CPAP

-removing tonsils
-sinus surgery
-new mattress
-daily sinus drains
-mouthpieces
-losing weight, although it was always a problem even when super skinny

The mouthpieces I would make a concerted effort to sleep with it in and no matter what I would wake up with it pulled out of my mouth, sitting on the nightstand. Also they’re very bad for your teeth long term your teeth will begin to have a gap and not close correctly

Also, I could not even think about wearing a CPAP mask without these:

They are liners to prevent the rubber part of the mask from rubbing your face raw during the night. They have the texture of a t shirt. They are life savers.

If I did not wear one every night between my face and the mask, I would wake up with at red irritation all over the places where the mask touched my face.

I use the nasal pillow mask. As a side sleeper, it works great. I am logging good sleep for 7-8 hours a night. Changed my life. The new machines are pretty solid and I haven't had many problems since day one. I consider myself lucky.

This is me. I always recommend the nasal pillows. And mine come with cloth strips to prevent it from rubbing your face raw.

No troll: how often do you cpap guys get laid?

 

[AmericanViking]

No troll: how often do you cpap guys get laid?

4-5 times a week

 

[AgEngDawg]

No troll: how often do you cpap guys get laid?

While wearing the CPAP mask? 2 to 3 times a week.

I like to drift immediately off to sleep after.

Used to get laid all the time before I moved to the mountains... the quality of those lays is the more questionable aspect

OP sounds like a disgusting fat slob.

It's your heart. I put a CPAP machine on a 4 year old autistic boy this week. Stop being a pussy.

 

[Sikness23245]

FWIW I only believe @AmericanViking and that's only because he's a viking, so his wife doesn't have a choice. If anyone is banging the wife while wearing the damn thing, it's him.

 

[AgEngDawg]

BTW, you can get all your cpap supplies from Amazon now.

My Doc likes to require a visit to get resupplies which I have to get off work for, drive across town, wait in office, pay a copay, etc., etc.

Fuck that guy. I just order from Amazon. It is not rocket surgery.

LMAO!!!

Never tried it with it on. Honestly, it’s be like a leash inhibiting my options.

Definitely not as fat as you. Looked like you needed a sports bra to keep those puppies down while on the links.

 

[Shaun52]

I’ll more than likely get laid more if I can crack this thing and allow wifey to sleep more.

There is a lot of truth in this statement. A lot.

Remind me never to become a fat. This sounds miserable. I don’t sleep well, but for very different reasons.

Doc said I had sleep apnea after a sleep study but didn’t warrant a cpap.
I paid my dentist 200 to take molds and get a mouth piece. You get what you paid for... the damn thing jacked my jaws up.
I went to a specialized dentist and paid 2k for another mouth piece. This one did the trick... well,sort of. I still have terrible sleep, but a lot better compared to no device.
I also got this to monitor my sleep. Too bad they don’t have a reliable feedback to wake me when snoring.

Beddr launches Sleep Tuner, a forehead-worn sensor for sleep apnea patients

The device senses blood oxygenation, heart rate, sleep position, and stopped breathing events.

Same...I was diagnosed with severe apnea while in the military...I use nasal pillows and and you can’t even hear the machine...sleep like a baby now, life changing for me. And I get my sects on prior to strapping on the cpap.

Mine started in the Army. It started while we were in Balad. No idea why. I was in great shape.

I have tonsil issues and a bit of a bigger neck. Losing weight could take the need for a CPAP away for me.... Working on it.

Can't you get fragged for snoring in barracks?

 

[AgEngDawg]

Does anyone else roll over in the night and pull the CPAP machine off the counter and it makes a terrible noise?

Is there any hacks to prevent this?

 

[BurntJ]

We should make of recording of CPAP breathers at night and mix with a recording of Gay Sex grunting.

We could then do the listen and see how many you can get correct. This could deliver for sure.........

 

[squanchy]

I'm so glad I don't have to use a CPAP machine
