I would be very tempted to create a doctor's note.

Yeah, I'd do it too: The bearer needs a CPAP machine (well, better get a doctor friend to do it.

Well, this post is THREE years old. Didn't the OP pompa1 have time to come back and tell us what happened/how it'd be done? Did he travel after all?
Encore, please come back when it is over and tell us.
Good luck.

If Ryanair could find a way to charge passengers for breathing, they would.

"As for your CPAP, Ryanair won't give a damn what you carry on as long as it meets their weight & size limits and isn't liable to kill the passengers before the end of the flight"

""Why not try asking them--explaining what it is, letter from doctor, etc.?"

O ' Leary will openly not give a damn if your equipment is needed to keep you alive. They charged my 18 month old son as excess baggage some years back. His ticket actually said e9 standard excess baggage charge.

You love Ryanair, you hate Ryanair either way you live with them. They won't talk to you and will not negotiate. The worst customer relations function in corporate history but when it is possible to fly 2000 miles round trip for £50 - what do you expect.

I wish we could help, I wish Ryanair could help... but I doubt they will.

I apologize for not following up on this thread. Ryanair did not give me a bad time about my CPAP when we traveled in 2008 and 2009. I was asked once and after explaining that the device was medical I was allowed to pass with the extra carryon. I do remember that I had to argue with them at the gate about it. No doctors permit was required. we don't use Ryanair anymore after that experience. They are not worth the hassle.
