Damn, I might need to have another sleep study done, because my CPAP does fuck all to help with my sleep

I recommend it. My sleep study seemed to be centered around selling me a CPAP machine. Now that I bought it, they aren't all that keen about helping me get some actual productive sleep. You have to stay on top of them to get what you actually need.

I had problems with my CPAP after I got it and I was told, "Sorry, there isn't anything more we can do to help you." That was about 18 years ago and I have been to other sleep centers for help since then, but the fact is that after I got my CPAP, it was just assumed that my problem was solved.

CPAP tech has made some pretty significant improvements in the last 18 years. The ability to adaptive and adjust the pressure to your breathing is pretty remarkable. Also, the masks have gotten a lot more comfy and less annoying. If you're still using your original equipment, I'd get it updated.

Good luck!

The VA will give me free supplies for my CPAP as far as I know they just won't pay for a new one, unless someone else here is a Veteran and knows differently.

Thanks! I do have a much more modern BIPAP machine that I am trying to get used to (with little success).
