Well, finally re-did the sleep study and confirmed I have severe sleep apnea. The dentist recommended I try the CPAP, because the dental devices can not give me enough relief. He scheduled me for a CPAP fitting session at Lakewood Ranch Hospital on Sep 7th where they will monitor me sleeping with a CPAP and adjust it to my needs. I may just go ahead and get a used machine and start trying it out. Guy at work did that back in April, started using one of his brother's old CPAP units, and he said it took about 2 nights to get used to it, but after that it was like a new life. He has lost over 50 pounds since April just from finally getting some decent rest. I'm all for that!
wherever you get a machine from it will have to be set at the pressure you need, and that needs to be done by a resp tech since there is no simple presure setting dial. each machine is different. look for one that has a heated water tank to keep your sinuses from drying out and that is not too noisy. res-med and fisher pakel make good ones. hopefully your insurance will cover it and they should be replaced app every 5 years as they can never be cleaned completely. also if going used (which I would never do, you don't know what the last guy had and am not sure it's legal to give out a used machine. the best of machines go for about 3-500$ new out of pocket, so don't let an insurance co make you have a 200$ co-pay forever. as a newbie try the nasal pillow route first they are the smallest,easiest to care for and least obstructive. I started with a fuller version and settled on the res-med mirage system. and insist on brand name replacement parts/tubes and head nets, they will be more comfortable and last longer. you and especialy your wife will notice an immediate improvement in sleep. good luck.
OK, It's time for me to jump in.
