I've done a few of the chats, but Monday night is the worst night possible for me. I try to remember to check in, though.

While Monday night is the scheduled chat, I think we can actually chat any time...

I HIGHLY recommend the Breeze. I don't see how side-sleepers can sleep with anything else.

And if you think THIS is bad, try going to a dermatologist that doesn't do ANY prenumbing before sticking a novacaine needle a bunch of times into my face. THAT made the fiber scope seem like a walk in the park. (I won't be returning to THAT dermatologist!) Try the dentist I had as a kid - he start...

1) If you wake up with the tune "Raindrops keep falling on my head ..." on your mind, then the h/h is surely working - too well - turn it down a little. 2) If the chamber is low or empty next day (as for 1) 3) If you feel the air was good and you got no spray-in-the-face / no gurgling in the tube -...

Excellent point. When I was trying to get used to using my CPAP, I spent a lot of time wondering if I should have an APAP. But my pressure is only 6, so I realize that wouldn't really make much of a difference. Same with ramping. I used it, cuz it was there and seemed like a good idea. But I don't n...

Question about heated hose with GoodNight 420

I got a GoodNight 420 to use for travel - and am I glad I did! It's so small and lightweight - very easy to travel with. I also got an Aussie heated hose to use with it, but I'm confused... There is a very small hoses sticking out of each end of the main hose. What the heck are they for - and what a...

I can't count the number of posts from people who wait several WEEKS for a call back. There is a reason that they have earned the nickname Lin-don't-Care. Gee, I called twice and got return calls the same day! Of course, both times their answer to my problem was 'keep trying for a few weeks, and ca...

I would personally do everything humanly possible to get back into the doctor. At least in my area, the doctors will try to work with you if cost of a visit is an issue. Having been down that road of falling asleep anywhere, anytime. I would cancel my Internet, cancel my cable TV, buy generic groce...

I did a search on Eminem and the most common article mentions he had a 'legal prescription' for Ambien which he became addicted to. A second article from the Detroit Free Press noted that he had been taking "large doses"- when you start taking more then prescribed it doesn't matter if you have a 'l...

While I appreciate your looking out for us, I vote NO. Every board I've been on that splits loses so much. The family atmosphere is lost, and you lose the familiarity you have with all the other posters. And, like others have said, threads tend to change direction, aid I'd miss so much if I only wen...

We just got a Select Comfort, and aren't quite sure if we like it yet. I think it's uncomfortable, so we've purchased a (very expensive) pad to go on top, hoping that will make the surface more comfy. Also, the settings seem to change spontaneously - and Customer Service hasn't been providing very g...
