I HATE my CPAP, it's so annoying in every capacity. I know my sleep apnea is weight related because I used to snore like a freight train and then I lost 25lbs and barely snore. My API is 5.3 without the CPAP and it's 0.9 on a bad night with the CPAP.

My question is has anyone successfully lost enough weight to where their CPAP wasnt needed anymore? I hate this thing so much no matter how much or how little it's doing to improve my sleep. I want it gone and the cheapest way is to lose weight. Help

Hi! I was recently given the OK to wean off of 50mg of Zoloft. I've been on it since the end of 2020, when I started at 150mg. My doctor told me to take half a pill for a little bit, but if I wasn't feeling any symptoms, I could just cold turkey it. I took half a pill for 3 days, and I didn't notice anything, and then I went cold turkey, and now I'm all sorts of messed up (completely my fault). It's nothing I can't handle, like stomach issues and increased drowsiness, butttt the dizziness is going to drive me crazy! its not too bad but its been about a week since going cold turkey, and I just want to know if anyone had any tips on how to help? Or any ideas on how long this will last?

Hi! I know many people have struggled with a squeaky hook, but all I can seem to find on how to manage it is to rub the hook in your hair (LOL). How do y'all go about fixing this issue? TIA

I have the Phillips dream wear nasal mask and it is working really well so far. However, I have a full circle septum ring in and it kind of hurts when I wake up. The technician didn't tell me that I might have a problem with my septum hurting until I had already finished the appointment. I need advice on how to make it not hurt. Unfortunately the septum ring can't come out, it was pierced weird and if I take the ring out it won't go back in :/

I've been on a hexi cardigan crochet kick and I made one for my boyfriend. One of his coworkers really wants one and says he's willing to pay but I have no idea how to price it! I know some people do (price of supplies + minimum wage*hours worked) but that would roughly come out to $230 and I feel like that's a lot to charge for something I made (even though I wouldn't hesitate to agree with another fiber artists pricing). How do y'all gauge your pricing?

This might seem redundant but I have a nasal mask (not the pillows) and with summer in the way my nose isn't staying clear. I blow my nose as much as I can before bed but there's always some blockage I can't get out. I'm worried this is affecting my CPAP experience. How do you handle this? I really don't want to have to get a full face mask.

Hi! I have a bump ish lump ish thing that keeps showing up on my breast. I got a breast reduction 9ish months ago and the bump shows up along the scar line, the first time it showed up my surgeon said it wasn't anything to worry about but now it gets inflamed and reappears every once in a while. I asked the reduction subreddit and they said I should get it checked out by either a gynecologist or a dermatologist so I was wondering what y'all thought. The lump isn't hard but does get red-ish and warm but goes away in a few days.

I'm still getting adjusted to my CPAP and it's humidity settings. I've only had it for 5 days but I've noticed my machine doesn't use that much water, barely a 5th of the tank on a 3/5 humidity level for around 6 hours. Should I really be changing the water every day? I literally only ask because I'm so tired and don't want to get out of bed to do it LOL

As you can tell, I'm a fairly new CPAP user. I (24F) just got my Luna G3 machine about 5 days ago. I am obviously not fully accustomed to it yet and still get tired during the day as it hasn't even been a full week and I was wondering if you guys use your CPAP machine while you take naps? I've been in a constant need for naps at least once a day for the past couple of years and I hope this habit will be kicked with the CPAP LOL
