Autopaps may be a good choice, but try to make sure that you get the right one for your needs. Each autopap senses and responds differently to apneas, snoring, hyponeas (sp), etc. Perry has written extensively on this subject in forum 69 (I think). Read and print out the information and take it to your doctor before he/she writes the prescription for your equipment. Have the doctor prescribe the unit that best matches your needs and include the things Shamrock suggests. Understand that many sleep doctors may know what your needs are, but they haven't kept up with the xpap machines that are available and how each of them operates (this is where Perry's information will really help). If you have any questions that the doctor can't answer, post them here and someone will probably be able to help.
