Re: Weather change, dried out nose, aggrevating
We are all different. What works for one, may not work for the other. Being in Canada, I have that same problem at this time of year. Funnily enough the only way I have found around it is to simply ensure that my bedroom window is open while I sleep. If I do forget, then I too do not sleep well. At ...

Re: Potential Medical Problem (Throat) Chart?
Chunkyfrog: Thank you. I knew one or two would recognize what I was describing. That is a possibility. One that rings a bell. I still have my tonsils and have considered that, as well as an allergy of some sort I could be developing to flavouring within vape juice. One's mind, especially as a non-s...

Re: Issues keeping CPAP Machine on.
I don't like to answer posts as there are others here that are far better qualified than i but I was doing exactly as you are when I first began. Kept taking mine off every night in my sleep without realizing i was doing it. You mention you have anxiety. Any chance you smoke? Only ask as I believe s...

Re: Potential Medical Problem (Throat) Chart?
Hard to describe *symptoms* when they aren't specific. Hence I referred to a *gut instinct* that something is wrong. One *hopes* if related, someone will recognize what I mean, otherwise, likely won't. Sleeping and feeling as if my throat has less room than before. The feeling that I must lie down w...

Re: Stuffed Up Nose Problem? New CPAP users having problems?
Thanks all and yes, Pugsy, that is she RobySue. For the life of me i could not remember her name. One point i should add lest I have given the wrong idea.

Re: Stuffed Up Nose Problem? New CPAP users having problems?
Continued: those not so good, would likely responded to the idea that a FF should have been #1 from day #1 with a sarcastic post suggesting that that was a given... never grasping the damage of bad advice. My numbers went down but still not enough that the full answer had arrived. The answer came b...

Re: 20 days...perfect stats...feel lousy
Are you by chance a smoker? If so, u may want to read below and if not, ignore, but perhaps another smoker might see themselves here. I went through hell in the beginning and was stuffed up every night. I was told a million different things, and none worked. I was extremely frustrated by the process...

Re: Taking mask off in the middle of the night
I do the same thing if I drink water or other liquids later than several hours before bedtime. I used to go through hell with my mask until I figured out what was causing it ( unrelated to sleep apnea ) and now never have any problems with 0.00 - 0.016 readings nightly BUT if I do take it off at all...

Re: Throat closing at night still
Hello everyone, I am a CPAP user. However, I have lost 20 pounds and got down to 18.5% body fat. My sleep apnea has improved. I'm still using the CPAP. My concern, is, even though I lost the fat around my neck, I still wake up at night with a throat that feels it's closing in on itself. It's really...
