  1. After numerous trials I’ve finally found a mask that works for me on my CPAP. According to the machine I clocked 7 hrs sleep last night. I feel like a new woman!! Plus I haven’t had one fibromyalgia flare since being on the CPAP. According to my doctor they’re finding people who have fibromyalgia might actually have sleep apnea. #CPAP #Sleep #Fibromyalgia

  6. 8. I am #grateful for modern #medicine & the things I need like meds to deal with my chonic #health problems. #Vaccines, good medical care specialists, my wise PCP who listens to me and cares; #ObamaCare; my meds that keep my #QOL up and complications illnesses limited; my #cpap machine.

  8. @whack Given the prices you are siting I am assuming you are in the #USA. When I bought my #CPAP I did not have DME coverage. The price was much cheaper if I just bought the thing. So might be worth it to ask the cash price. Also, with CPAP you can get a used unit. Is this an option with insulin pumps?

  9. Why are #ResMed #CPAP humidifier tanks so damn terrible?

    Because their only competition is Philips.

  11. Time to try out my brand new #cpap machine. Really hoping this puts a dent in my fatigue. Between this, better blood sugar control, and iron supplements, I'll be running out of options if I still find myself needing 12+ hours of sleep to feel rested.

    Well, today was interesting. See the attached chart. Guess where I am on the chart. Hint: The answer and the story suggest that Everett-Wheeler worlds might be real.

    I spent Tuesday afternoon, March 31, 2026, traveling to get the results from a recent overnight sleep test. There was one surprise.

    I have sleep apnea. A lot of people do. Perhaps you or a family member are one of them.

    The condition ranges from minor to fatal. This is what Princess Leia died of, though it's not as direct as that. The condition places stress on the cardiovascular system. That can be enough to finish you by itself. Or other conditions can step in. If that happens, that's all she wrote.

    I have an "interruptions per hour" number that is classified as "severe". This means that I'll need to get a #CPAP machine again. The number isn't a surprise. I've had a sleep study and a CPAP before [in the 2010s].

    But my night-time oxygen saturation level is so low that I've probably already died. Here's the thing: I've most likely been at the level discussed further down for 5 years. I'm not sure that that is possible.

    So, I might be living in an Everett branch. People who have read about the Copenhagen Interpretation, Schrödinger's Cat, and Everett-Wheeler are familiar with the concept.

    My number "indicates severe hypoxemia". This leads to "rapid and catastrophic declines in tissue oxygenation. One result is organ damage. The heart tries to compensate for hypoxemia by increasing cardiac output, leading to tachycardia, arrhythmias, and, in chronic cases, pulmonary hypertension and right-sided heart failure."

    My case is chronic. This suggests that I'm already pushing up daisies. So, that's great.

    I'm supposed to get oxygen "immediately". It's classified as an emergency. But I don't think that I'm supposed to go to the E.R. This leaves the question of where I should go to get the oxygen. I see that Walmart sells portable oxygen concentrators, but I'm not sure that that's the same thing.

    My specialist's office said that they didn't "vend" and that they didn't know where to go to get the oxygen.

    Note: To be clear, the key people at the office were patient and as helpful as possible. I have no complaint about that.

    My #HMO, presently one of the Blue Shield plans, should know. But I've been trying to reach my "clinical care coordinator" at the HMO for a full month as of this week.

    Note: The care coordinator is the person that you're supposed to speak with for issues that will require more than one phone call.

    I know that my care coordinator, Edgar, is receiving my voicemails. However, he's only tried to call me back once.

    A few hours ago, I spoke with a nice HMO Member Services person, Claudia. She said that she'd try to get a "care navigator", the level below care coordinator, to phone me tomorrow [April 01, 2026].

    The care navigator might try to help. It'll be April Fools Day. I'm not sure if that's a positive sign or not.

    After the HMO call, I fell asleep for two hours. Two-hour naps are common for me. Now, here I am, ready to fedi. I'll fedi on my dedi until sleep again is ready.

    I have a few people in IRC tonight as well as the fedi dedi. A jug of water. Hydration is good. There's an apple a few yards away. I'm set for a couple of hours. I appreciate the basics these days.

  17. I've been using a #CPAP machine for a year now. My palete in my mouth has fallen and I choke without it. I used to average like 4-5 hours of #sleep a night, and when tested they counted over 400 "events" where I stop breathing in one session. Since going with the CPAP, my new readout shows I get 8 hours of #sleep on average, and i have 1.6 events on average. Between 1-5 is normal. Biggest side effects are I wake up immediately, no sleepiness #hangover, and I #dream intensely now. So worth it.

  23. When I went to put my CPAP mask on last night, I realized it was missing a vital piece which holds the nose cushion on. I slept without, but upon waking I searched my room to no avail. Where could it have gone? And how will I get a replacement? I am super busy today and tomorrow. Ack. #CPAP

  24. Reader, it worked!

    I wasn’t convinced but my mouth stayed shut and the tape stayed stuck on!

    Taking it off this morning wasn’t too bad either, in that it didn’t rip half my beard out!

    #cpap #sleepapnoea

  25. Did I mention that since losing weight my sleep apnoea has paradoxically gotten worse?

    My CPAP machine is providing more pressure and my mouth is dropping open leading to leaks and snoring.

    This didn’t used to happen before.

    I’ve had to use a chinstrap again but they’re uncomfortable and not working as well as before either.

    Anyway, tonight I’m going to try taping my mouth shut 😅

    I’ve seen mouth tapes before but avoided them as I’ve got a beard, but I just wanna sleep without a damn chin strap on so hopefully this’ll do the trick.

    NGL, I feel a bit like Abe from Abe’s Odyssee 😅

    Wish me luck!

  26. The Clean Energy States Alliance has published a report on “What States Need to Know about #PlugInSolar”.

    The report is summary about #balconysolar from an #American perspective.

    Although we think the German prices are calculated a little bit to high, because we think you can have installation cost as low as 0,28 EUR/Wp, its a good overview.

    It also contains a cost return calculator for #solar on the balcony for #US Consumers.

    Amongst other the report also mentions #CPAP machines as good examples for #emergencypower use, higlighting the systems ability to provide #electrictiy even during #grid failure, if you have battery!

  31. Para las personas que tengan que usar CPAP, hace unos meses hice una reparación en la silicona de la máscara de mi hermano, que acá el repuesto lo cobran como 10 u 11mil pesos. La goma de silicona es tan fina que luego de unos meses se raja como en la segunda foto. En la tercera foto se ve como queda una reparación hecha con un pedacito de tela de algodon empapada en pegamento de silicona neutra (fastix) transparente. Hay que empapar la tela, poner un poco de silicona en la tela, doblar la tela y apretarla para que salga por los poros de la misma y masajearla para que se meta entre las fibras. luego se aplica una pequeña capa de silicona en la rotura y se deposita la tela embadurnada en la misma silicona y luego otra capita de silicona por encima como para tapar todas las fibras y que quede suave. Se deja secar un dia. La tela le da resistencia mecánica que solo con silicona no se logra. Probé con varios pegamentos pero la mayoría no adhiere a ese tipo de silicona de la máscara. Esa reparación lleva muchos meses impecable y ahora esa misma máscara se rompió en otro lado y en unos días voy a hacer la misma reparación. También mi hermano tiene otra máscara que también se rompió a la altura de la barbilla y también la reparé de la misma manera. No queda lindo a la vista, pero anda impecable y te ahorra 10mil pesos. Tambien se puede conseguir el repuesto original por 30 o 40 dolares en eBay. Si alguien tiene una máscara rota, con gusto la puedo reparar o guiarlos en el proceso #cpap #diy #repair #reparar #fix #apnea #apneadelsueño

Hay que empapar la tela, poner un poco de silicona en la tela, doblar la tela y apretarla para que salga por los poros de la misma y masajearla para que se meta entre las fibras. luego se aplica una pequeña capa de silicona en la rotura y se deposita la tela embadurnada en la misma silicona y luego otra capita de silicona por encima como para tapar todas las fibras y que quede suave. Se deja secar un dia. La tela le da resistencia mecánica que solo con silicona no se logra. Probé con varios pegamentos pero la mayoría no adhiere a ese tipo de silicona de la máscara. Esa reparación lleva muchos meses impecable y ahora esa misma máscara se rompió en otro lado y en unos días voy a hacer la misma reparación. También mi hermano tiene otra máscara que también se rompió a la altura de la barbilla y también la reparé de la misma manera. No queda lindo a la vista, pero anda impecable y te ahorra 10mil pesos. Tambien se puede conseguir el repuesto original por 30 o 40 dolares en eBay. Si alguien tiene una máscara rota, con gusto la puedo reparar o guiarlos en el proceso #cpap #diy #repair #reparar #fix #apnea #apneadelsueño

  35. Para las personas que tengan que usar CPAP, hace unos meses hice una reparación en la silicona de la máscara de mi hermano, que acá el repuesto lo cobran como 10 u 11mil pesos.

  36. Jetzt weiß ich doch noch, was ich mir nächstes Jahr vornehme.

    Mehr #Käse essen.

    Bei #WerWeißDennSowasXXL zeigten sie gestern was von einer chinesischen Studie, dass man damit die Gefahr von #OSAS verringern kann.

    Liebe Mitleidenden im #Fediverse - Wieviel Tonnen Käse verzehrt ihr so pro Jahr, um festzustellen, dass dann eher die Gefahr steigt, nicht von der #CPAP-Maske wegzukommen, anstatt von ihr wegzukommen¿?

    Ich denke, ein Volk von #Laktose-intoleranten Bürger*innen will uns da nen Bären aufbinden.

  38. Ich brauche mal #Reichweite für eine spezielle Frage: ich benötige zum Schlafen ein #CPAP Beatmungsgeraet. Habe dazu eine Vollmaske, die jedoch für Normalgewachsene designed ist. Aufgrund meiner Größe ist die zu klein und passt nicht wirklich gut. Es ist die größte auf dem Markt, habe schon viele durchprobiert.
    Deshalb suche ich einen Anbieter, der mir eine nach Mass bauen kann, damit ich endlich wieder schlafen kann.

  43. I had to make a few spare ResMed #CPAP tubing connectors. So I fired up the #3Dprinter. Have a bunch of spiral tube connectors and repair parts: printables.com/model/1526570-r

  44. I know Whatsapp is the root of all evil etc, but the sleep clinic uses it and it's just so enabling. So far, via their WA account, I've had really fast responses to queries which has resulted in a referral for CBT for sleep issues and an appointment next week to have a new #cpap mask fitted. It would be lovely if it didn't have to be via Whatsapp but I'm really impressed with the effectiveness of their service.
