Re: CPAP stopped working after weight loss

Hey guys! Thanks for the replies! I'll try to post some data this evening. It hadn't occurred to me that weight loss might make my throat area lose and saggy like my old jeans. That may just be it! Would you expect that over time this gets better, or am I doomed to get to my ideal weight only to fin...

CPAP stopped working after weight loss

Hi guys! Been awhile, glad you are still here. I was diagnosed with OSA, got a CPAP machine, and was having great success with it. No more waking up exhausted with a headache. I recently started a diet and lost 20 pounds and now all the sudden the CPAP machine has stopped helping! I'm not seeing lea...

If that's the case he should try putting it over his nose instead of gluing it to the front of his head!

(I can see him on the forums now... "This CPAP thing doesn't work AT ALL...)

Peyton Manning and Me

I'm still trying to figure out strap tightness and may need to get some type of padding because Peyton Manning and i now have similar forehead issues: http://www.barnorama.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/02-mannings-forehead.jpg (Mr Manning keeps his helmet on so tight that when he takes it off his f...

Re: SleepMapper

I bet the patch will do it for you. I had the same problem with my machine and the patch fixed me right up.

Re: New cpap user, it is getting tougher not easier to use it

I've been on CPAP for about 2 weeks or so and I've had this issue occasionally. Sometimes the sound od the machine doesn't bother me at all, other times it has kept me up some, especially when the machine seems to whistle a bit with my breathing. When it does this it is not unlike the whistle of a p...

Re: Can someone help me understand what happened last night?

I almost hesitate to post to this thread and pop it back up to the top of the forum after all the troll craziness, but I wanted to tell Pugsy thank you for looking at my data and for explaining in details how to interpret the leak data I was seeing.

So, THANK YOU Pugsy!

Re: I don't dream - or at least remember any

... But the content of the dreams kind of floats away pretty quickly, which is just fine with me. A trick for this, should you ever be interested to try it, is when you first wake up to lay in bed absolutely still and spend a few moments asking yourself "Was I just dreaming?" and focusing on the fe...

Re: I don't dream - or at least remember any

Hopefully this isn't too off topic, but lucid dreaming is a fascination of mine and I've managed to do it once or twice by accident. Learning to recognize you are dreaming (the first step towards a lucid dream) requires a great deal of effort and the ability to change your sleep times, interrupt sle...

Re: Can someone help me understand what happened last night?

Jen, You type really well for a cat. MIne can't even figure out how to boot up the mac! No new meds although I have been fighting a cold for the last week. It's mostly over now but my nose does get stuffed up. It wasn't any different then the past couple of nights though. Incidentally, I think that'...
