Can anyone help me understand what is going on with me and my cpap therapy in regards to these particulars? I am a diabetic . I have had many sleep issues since starting my cpap therapy six months ago. These issues have mostly centered around continuing to wake up many times and not sleeping through...

How to you lose all that weight? Or, any significant amount of weight? Is it a result of the cpap therapy? You people who mention losing large amounts of weight make it sound so easy. Anyone, who can answer my questions is very much appreciated. Thanks.

Sounds like a used hose. I had the same problem. Your DME should exchange it for one that works.

What is EPR?

That Respironics full face mask gave me a horrible pressure sore on the bridge of my nose, too. Like someone above said, it is a piece of crap. However, the bandaid is helping the sore heal, once I changed mask. I cut it to shorten both ends so it fits between my eyes (and across the bridge of my no...

What does your eating schedule have to do with how well you sleep on cpap therapy? Does it matter how close to your bedtime you eat a meal or a snack? I am a diabetic and I seem to have problems sleeping when I eat something before I go to bed. I seem to sleep better if I do not eat anything at leas...

Certainly! I will include you in my prayers. Best of luck to you and God bless.

You may just need to perservere a bit longer and that is very hard to do when you are suffering and being deprived of sleep. I did not begin to notice good results until I hit my fourth month which was just a few weeks ago. I had many of the problems you are having, and more. I was sleeping poorly, ...

I apologize for this lengthy posting but I want to try and help someone avoid the hell I went through. It took me about 4 and one-half months to notice significant results. I went through 4 masks and ended up having to change from a cpap machine to an apap machine before my sleep improved. Prior to ...

Hi, Imacpaper......

Would you please post directions on how you made your heated hose with the Repti Heating Cable and please be specific as to what and how to do it, how do you turn it off, etc.? Thanks.

Question, once you have the Repti Heat Cable, is there a way to connect a on/off control to it? I don't want to have to remember to unplug it and plug it in. Thanks.

Thanks, p2junkie, I will follow your instructions, asap. Take care.

Just getting back with an update to say that I finally got my DME and my doctor's attention, after 3 long, long months of suffering and complaining, and they exchanged my cpap machine for an apap. That was 3 nights ago and I have been sleep much, much better. I hope I am not being premature. I hope ...

I have read this entire thread over several times and, viewed the pictures, and I still do not understand how to acccomplish this setup. How, exactly, is this Repti Heated Cable setup, and, what else should I use and how? I think I understand that I should buy a 15 watts heated cable, right? How do ...

Something really needs to be done about these shady DME's and whatever ties they have to these doctors. They have too much control over our health issues in regards to cpap therapy yet they care too little about us and they demonstrate too little professionalism. My DME and my doctor are bouncing me...
