I have a CPAP machine used for Sleep Apnea. I no longer use it, as I have found relief using a SnoreGuard. I have tried to sell it locally to my city on Craigslist. This has proven ineffective. The original cost was about $1600. I would sell it for starting price of $800. Any ideas of other better reached selling websites?
Thank You!!

I was diagnosed with a mild form of sleep apnea. I have tried a CPAP machine and couldn’t adjust to it. My doctor said I wouldn’t be a good candidate for surgery. I’m considering a dental device (mouth piece), but wanted to know if there are alternative methods.
I’m in the same situation as you. I would see about the dental device. Anything has to be better than the CPAP.

I have been diagnosed with Sleep Apnea. I have tried using a CPAP machine and I found out I was allergic to the material in the mask and also the nose tubes. So I had to give up using the machine. Are there any other remedies such as like using a cool mist humidifier to help resolve the blockage in the air way.
I wouldn’t advise this, but I have heard people putting a small strip of tap over part of their mouth. Seems to work for some people.

He said my oxygen levels were normal and that he prescribed a CPAP. If my oxygen levels were normal, is there any point in using the CPAP?
The doctor told me that I had apartial airway collapses during the sleep study.
Sleep apnea means you stop breathing when you are asleep. The CPAP machine forces you to continue breathing along with providing more oxygen. So the only reason to use the CPAP machine is so that you won’t stop breathing in you sleep. And die. DUH!

I have lost a great deal of weight and no longer have sleep apnea issues. I can sleep without the CPAP machine, but sometimes just like to put it on anyway. I guess I am just used to it as a habit or comfort thing. How do I wean myself off of it and start going to sleep without it?
You need to revisit the doctor who prescribed the CPAP machine and have another set of sleep studies done to reaffirm the idea that you no longer need it.
Until you’re cleared of the necessity of it by a doctor, I don’t recommend you sleeping without it.
