Re: Flying with CPAP

What mouth pc. do you use while on a plane. I've been wondering about this.

Sorry, haven't been on a fancy enough flight to have power.

Re: Dry Mouth and nose WITH humidifier

Thanks... will look into these suggestions.

leaks are 0%. Everything else seems good. But yes, nose a bit plugged. I'm sure my mouth is gaping wide.

Dry Mouth and nose WITH humidifier

Is this weird? Allergy season is starting, so my nose is a bit stuffy, and I'm sure I'm sleeping with my mouth even more wide open. My humidifier is set to 4, clearly the water levels are going down. I've felt to make sure it's warm and working. I wake in the middle of the night, and my mouth is fre...

So rested, I need LESS time in bed. Bored. What to do?

I'm really starting to wonder just how long I've had Apnea. While I guessed it started about 7 years ago, I'm thinking much before that now. I've always considered myself one that NEEDS at least 10 hours of sleep to barely feel good. That makes since if you're holding your breath, and gagging in you...

recycled machines... need one cheap?

So I was looking into what to do with my old NOT working cpap machine. And found this place.

Looks like a good place to go if you need a machine and can't afford one as well.

Used Machine/not working/what to do with it?

I have a REMstar Plus M series. Has a humidfier. Very light usage. I was a cpap failure to start. When you turn it on, says "needs service" When I called about it, I was told it was probably broke and wouldn't work again. ????????? I now have a brand new machine, and I feel quite wasteful throwing t...

Re: Cutting off Circulation …

It sounds like you are describing a problem I previously had, when every time I moved over onto my left or right side to relieve my back for awhile, I would fall asleep on my side seemingly okay but would wake up with a painful numb arm and/or shoulder. I wound up solving the problem by propping up...

Re: Newbie seeking solution for sore nose

I have the same mask. Was too sleep deprived the first few days to realize there was a dial at the forhead to move the mask out a bit, perhaps removing the pressure. That might not work if it suddenly causes leeks at the cheeks. But maybe a tiny roll of the dial. Also, I've had to find the sweet spo...

arm - fingers numbness... Neck too?

Yesterday I posted perhaps I need a new pillow as the arm I'm sleeping on (side sleeper) goes to sleep and wakes me up when the pins and needles hit. Last night was the first time BOTH arms went numb. And I THINK my neck? It was so dang cold in my room, My neck was exposed, could have been that. No ...

The Sleep Better Pillow

Ok... NEW problem. Now that I sleep like a dead person. I do not move in my sleep at all!!! Until, I'm woke by my numb and tingling arm and fingers. I'm a side sleeper, and I feel as though I'm cutting off my circulation or pinching a nerve in my shoulder/armpit area. I've currently got a very flims...
