      <p><inline-mention username="billsykes" user-id="6696320"/> Hey there! Welcome to the Sleep Apnea community! Thanks so much for sharing with us! Your CPAP stopped your snoring? That&#39;s great news. You may have seen this already, but here is an interesting article with more info about snoring: <a href='https://sleepapnea.sleep-disorders.net/living/snoring' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer ugc'>https://sleepapnea.sleep-disorders.net/living/snoring</a> <br/><br/><br/>I&#39;m curious,...were you always a snorer? Or, did it develop more over the years due to your sleep apnea? And, if you have a partner, they probably are thankful for your CPAP too, right? lol! Did you know that many are unaware that they have sleep apnea until their partner tells them about their snoring? &quot;In fact, snoring most nights is the number one sign of sleep apnea.&quot; Check this out: https://sleepapnea.sleep-disorders.net/symptoms<br/><br/><br/>So, you sneezed in your mask? Oh no!!! I&#39;m sure that WAS a mess! We would love to hear more about your CPAP and snoring!

      <p><inline-mention username="billsykes" user-id="6696320"/> I hate it when I sneeze in my mask. I have really bad allergies so that was happening almost every nigh when I first got my mask. I&#39;ve since gotten better at holding the sneeze in until I take off my mask.</p>

   <p>Two years ago I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. I didn’t want to believe it but it was true. I was in denial. I was giving the c pap machine and told to use it everyday. I did for one year and it was very uncomfortable. I couldn’t stand using it. I use to see online these different types of machines that worked better for you but my insurance would not cover it. So I had to stick to what they gave me. I know it is for my own good but I wish I had more options</p>

      <p>Hi <inline-mention user-id="4117712" username="nora" class="bp-suggestions-mention"/> , thanks for sharing, it can be really difficult to use a CPAP every day so I&apos;m proud of you for continuing to use it despite the challenges you have faced. Have you had problems with the mask? Sometimes, it can take a few tries before finding the right mask and it may be covered by insurance. I hope you are able to find something that works for you soon and thanks for being part of our community. Warmly, Kristin (SleepApnea.Sleep-Disorders.net Team Member)</p>
