Prognosis: deviated septum, I've never even broken my nose, I guess you can be born with one. Going to try some nose sprays for awhile.
What did you accomplish today?

it's sacrilegious and delicious
The prognosis is good now they have the diagnosis. Some nasal spray, a good fitting cpap (you need the mask not the nasal cannula) and an acceptance of being a mouth breather can all help. Hugs my friend. When the air quality gets better that will help a little too and check the inside humidity of your home, keep it 30 and over, higher in the evening and while you sleep helps. When I'm having a run I keep a humdifier by my bedside..Prognosis: deviated septum, I've never even broken my nose, I guess you can be born with one. Going to try some nose sprays for awhile.

A friend was just diagnosed with sleep apnea and his biggest concern was having to sleep with the mask/ machine...I haven't yet heard how it's going. I guess that's a bit different though. They use to think a deviated septum causes sleep apnea but I don't think so anymore.
I have gotten allergies as I get older, and use nasal sprays daily. Especially when I
Gonan try and get some groceries today, in the next town over that doesn't have a covid rate of over 5% of the population, like my city does!!

I am waiting for a fitting for the mask right now, a therapist is supposed to come to the house and show me how to run it also. The machine has a heated humidifier in it.

Mine also, not sure how this will work out either. I just know it has gotten to the point something has to be done.

I hope it goes smoothly!!
I bought one of these whole house humidifiers (similar to) a few years ago for the winter time here, when I had a woodstove it would get super dry. I think I paid $100, and it's still like new...Puts about 3 gallons of water in the air every single day. I use to use RO water in it even, but got tired of carrying buckets up the stairs! Needs a new wick once a season for like $10. Something to consider,
I have to run a dehumidifier all summer in the basement, and then shortly after the heat comes on in the fall I break out the humidifier.
OK, grocery time!!
Although a deviated septum and enlarged turbinates don't cause sleep apnea they can exacerbate it. Humidifiers can really help.

Lunderg makes a pillow side sleepers that have cavities for the mask and hose. We got one for my dad, it was pretty expensive for a pillow but he loves it.
