− | The '''Apnea Board Wiki''' exists to help [[Sleep Apnea]] patients take a more active role in their own treatment. This [[wiki]] supplements the [http://www.apneaboard.com Apnea Board Website] and [http://s7.zetaboards.com/Apnea_Board/index/ Apnea Board Forum]. Content and editing is done by a group of Apnea Board members called the [[Apnea Board Wiki Editor | Apnea Board Wiki Editors]]. We encourage you to read through this wiki for general [[Sleep Apnea]] and [[CPAP]] information, then join us over at the [http://s7.zetaboards.com/Apnea_Board/index/ forum] if you have any questions, need support, or simply want to say "hi".

Adjusting Your Own CPAP Pressure
Contrary to popular belief, it is not illegal for Sleep Apnea patients to change pressure or to make other adjustments to their own legally-obtained CPAP machine. On Apnea Board we believe patients are their own best primary care provider - that nobody else is looking out for the patient's health and well being as much as the patient. We think Sleep Apnea patients should be trusted with the knowledge of how to adjust the pressure settings on their own CPAP machine. Of course, we always recommend consulting with a qualified sleep doctor before making any changes to sleep apnea therapy - that's simply common sense.
