Anyone have sleep apnea and need a machine?
 
I have a Restronics REMStar/Plus machine......allegedly $1K retail. Make me/Momz and offer or it gets donated. Never used....handy dandy carry case. 4+ years old.

I have the apnea.. It sucks! I tried the machine, the mouth guards (chin movers), the breath rights and nothing works for me. I sleep sitting up, I sleep on my belly, I sleep with tennis balls in my pocket, I sleep on my side, I sleep on the couch, I sleep in my chair, I have slept with my head on the breakfast nook, it all SUCKS! I sleep whenever/wherever and usually annoys everyone. So now I've been running pretty much sleepless for many many years, 2-4hrs a night. I feel horrible yet somehow have the energy to move forward every day. I exercise, walk 2-3 times a day and just got back into single track mtbiking, riding bikes with the kids, hockey drills on the driveway/basement, etc. I AM ACTIVE! No caffeine, alcohol, spicy foods (barely eat dinner now), etc. So some days I just wanna give up and have all that crap because nothing works! I've thought about removing my uvula and some soft pallet to help me. No end in sight and no solution to date so bring on the midnight movies.... F-THAT! I just wanna SLEEEEEEEEEEEP! OMG, I just re-read that, so sorry for the rant and move on..... I just hope you find someone that can benefit from your machine.

bill, how long did you try a machine for? it changed my life. im still short, overweight and smoke/drink too much. all that aside, it it took around 6 weeks solid with it to see the advantages. get em to crank the air pressure way up! when tested i had up to 16 "events" an hour, now down to like three. give it another shot maybe?

I just got a dental appliance and I stopped snoring. My neighbor does not complain about the noise any more.

I have a friend who really needs one. He doesn't have the money to buy one, so if you aren't able to sell it, could you donate it to me so I can give it to him? Thanks
