Covid19- ecmo- ventilator-multiple organ failure
Hi all. I just wanted to share our story, as I am really struggling lately. My boyfriend, who is 30yrs old, fit and with no underlying issues has been in the hospital for the past nearly two months fighting the damage done from covid19. He spent first 5 days on a cpap mask then had to be put on a ventilator

Are you Sleeping Peacefully?
I was suffering from breathing problems while sleeping. This use to put me in a terrible situation. When I consulted a doctor, and he asked me to wear a CPAP machine mask while sleeping. I did thorough research to find out companies that manufacture the CPAP machine mask of good quality. I was introduced

Can I use CPAP without sleep apnea?
Hey guys, So I have been a snorer since I can remember, sometimes quite loud. I often wake up very tired and have trouble waking up all night. I wanted to take the test, but I have a very high deductible, and I don't really want to spend money out of my pocket. However, I recorded myself sleeping

What is the best CPAP machine to buy?
Hey everyone, I have always snored; for 30 years. My wife suggested doing a check-up, but I don't care about it. The last six months, all of a sudden, I was exhausted during the day, and I don't understand the reason for the sudden change. Finally, I did a sleep test, and the results show that I have

Need input on ADT, Brachytherapy, etc.
Hi folks. I have a diagnosis of 3+4 with PSA of 21. I am on the fence and cannot decide which treatment to get. My doctor wants me to get the ADT (hormone therapy) to shrink the prostate so we can then do Brachy "seeds'. My family wants me to get it out with surgery. I have locally spoken to 3-4 men

How long does it take to decide if it’s ICU delirium or brain damage, after coming off the ventilator?
My mum spent 17 days ventilated for covid and pneumonia and potentially a secondary bacterial infection. She was on CPAP for 2 weeks before and managed at home for 2 weeks before that. She suffered some kidney damage (no dialysis) had brain swelling (PRES) and some seizures. They extubated her on Thursday

Struggling today
I'm really struggling this morning, can't seem to stop crying and I have to go to work in 15 minutes. Dad is stable and oxygen requirement 50% but I'm finding it difficult that after a really good week last week where he was on cpap mode and waking up, he is now fully sedated, with paralysing agents

Low Dose Tetrahydrocannabinol and Melatonin for Better Sleep and Cognitive Function

My motivation
Going back to the beginning. I need to lose at least 4 stones to be healthy. My motivation is hoping that doing that gets me off my cpap machine which I have to sleep. My other motivation getting healthier so it’s easier for me to conceive.

My question is to anyone who has apnea did you have
