Im tired all the time, it is a pain in the ass. I've tried the CPAP therapy for a year now with mixed results. Does anyone here live with sleep apnea? Anyone have any luck with verious treatments?

@OrangeDog -- Sorry, but we can't be giving medical advice here on the PF (that's in the rules under INFO at the top right of the page). The quality of any advice you got here would be mixed at best, and since we do not have your detailed medical history (nor should we), there is no way even very qualified members could give you good advice.

Your best approach at this point is to go back to the doctor who prescribed the CPAP for you in the first place. Let them know that you are still having issues, and see how they want to approach it. There are certainly other things that can make you tired all the time -- your doc should do some more tests to try to figure this out.

Hope you are able to get some relief soon.

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
