what now

Posted by sleepycowboy on April 16, 2004 at 04:44:10:

Years ago, I was misdiagnosed with OSA and put on cpap. Couldn't tolerate the machine but tried for over 2 years. Tried cpap, bipap, autopap but always felt worse. Changed doctors a couple of times and had to go through the overnight titration routine several times. Finally found out the machine caused central, at all pressures. What happens now? I have slept through the night using a concentrator while on heavy pain meds or pain med/diazapam combo but I can't stay on that for ever. Any suggestions?
