Sore throat? … I’m 45 and I have the start of arthritic disease … last week I woke up with a pain in my shoulders, by the end of the day, I couldn’t lift my arms and the pain was unbearable - it felt like my arm wanted to separate from my body (and I actually wanted it to just to end the pain!) … at one point in your life as you get old, you wish it were just a sore throat.

SuckMyWang,

Well, you can still get a sore throat as well if that makes you feel any better

Oh, oh, I see, running away then. You yellow bastard! Come back here and take what’s coming to you. I’ll bite your legs off!

Ejh3k,

That all stopped for me when I got a CPAP

toynbee,

Sadly, a CPAP generally does not alleviate - and might even aggravate - symptoms from a cold, the flu, etc. There are some exceptions, but most recommendations I’ve read suggest temporarily desisting use of the CPAP when ill.

How is it sleeping with a CPAP? It looks wildly uncomfortable to me. But I suppose it beats suffocating in my sleep…

Between having to wear the mask and the noise, I imagine I would have many bad nights of sleep until I got used to it. Probably would make working a real challenge.

mayotte2048,

Definitely takes some getting used to.

CluckN,

Pshh have you seen how small the CPAP machines have gotten? My grandfather had one the size of a mini-fridge and now they are the size of a toaster.

I’m more asking about how it is sleeping with the mask on your face with a hose.

I know someone with one. They’re apparently pretty alright, doesn’t really notice it anymore. The QoL improvement from it though was night and day.
