I've been using a CPAP for about 2 years now.

It takes a bit of getting used to but now I pretty much sleep however. No
big problems.. Stomach sleeping is the hardest with the mask, but I am more
of a side sleeper.

Super Simple. Turn the machine off by hitting the buttom and slide the mask
off. Done. Takes 1-2 sec.


How does your partner feel about your cpap?


Was upset she didn't here me snore anymore. :) Had to check on me to see if
I was still breathing. The CPAP pretty much eliminates any type of snoring
whatsoever. All you here is a slight air sound.


How has the cpap affected your 'romantic' life?


It doesn't.

I'm married, so I couldn't answer that.


Does the cpap require maintenance?


Little. Make sure your filter is clean.

You should..

What does insurance typically pay for?


Really depends on the insurance. I changed insurances and the first
insurance company made payments and when I left. I just took over the
payments and now I own it without any reports being set to insurance company
for use.


Have any more questions, fire away...
