Very likely a mouth breather I agree too - I can use a chin strap which is less evasive but many people need the full face mask if you are a BREATHER and not a LEAKER. I had to redo my test several times and finally theyd id it with sleeping pills cause I couldnt fall into REM there with all that st...

I dont knwo about your insurance but theres no way mine would cover both and if I hadnt of swapped within the 6 month period I wouldve been stuck for 5 years with assistance on a new machine. My DME traded my CPAP for my APAP and it was still mine after the 6 months of insurance payments but I could...

I love this because its the only one of the straps Ive tried that keeps my mouth shut but it gets stinky and it causes acne on my chin - since its not breathable. Cleaning it weekly and rinsing with vinegar helps alot but still I miss having nice skin - is there any breathable substitute?

Well after beign up with a sick toddler last about the 20the time I had to unplug my mask hose from the main hose the piece came apart, its not threaded doesnt snap it mustve been factory glued the way it looks because it is at a seam. Hubby wondered if maybe I could super glur it until the DME is o...

That was neat I just woke up so not sure if that makes it betteror worst still have dust in the brain but then again not tired thats for sure. I was a bob cat and I didnt wait the 5 mins nots ure if thats makes it easier or harder (I would guess easier lol) anywho: Recognition score ( if you saw it ...

2 subjects I know nothing about. Ive never had either tested since myopriginal sleep study. I remember reading that someone was pregnant and concerned about o2 levels so now it has me thinking. Is this something that everyone should keep an eye on or do only certain cases have issue? I dont belive t...

Thansk again for the suggestions on the Headrest for when baby comes. Now the next problem is finding one, the 2 main DMEs in town dont work with Aoimed and I dont want to dish it out upfront it would just be too hard on us right now. Any online DMEs that will bill my insurance or other suggestions?...

Im pregnant and for some oddreson the exhasut port on my Nasal Aire II is torn. My DME says it will take a week. because I need the Medium PLUS does anyone have a Medium Plus they dont need they can overnight me? I can pay via paypal immediately or whatever works for you but Im scared to sleep pregn...

Not sure how your DME does it but my insurance makes 6 payments and then the machines mine - so after that I couldnt change if I had wanted to since my insurance only offers 1 machine every 6 years. However I was lucky enough that my DME did swap out based on scripts early on when I upgraded to data...

Breastfeeding and CPAPs With baby 3 on the way I remember night feedings with baby in bed and dosing off especially if it was almost morning. Naps as well. In the past I usually move the babes back to there bassinet but sometimes we just doze off. Anyhow Im wondering if theres any info on this, othe...

It didnt use to be a problem but my topaz is starting to make really dry patches on my face - under my smile ends. Ive tried cleaning it more and moisturizing and nothing seems to help Ims tarting to look funny - makeup only covers color not texture. Any ideas? or somilar problems?

My Apneas only happen during REM does that mean if Im taking a short nap (under an hour) I dont need my CPAP?

I have an APAP my min is set at 6 to get rid of my aerophagia but my max is a 13. I was titrated at 9. They did also mention the mouthpiece as an option. Im not trying to eliminate REM just eliminating sleeping on my back. _________________ CPAPopedia Keywords Contained In This Post (Click For Defin...

[quote="track"]Yes, I could solve aerophagia too by lowering the pressure or just turning the machine off...but it would make for longer and more apneas

Yes but its different though with the humidifer up because my mouth doesnt get actually dry. I wake up witha cotton mouth feel and as soon as I take off the mask and move my mouth its instantly gone. Im not even sure its caused by dryness. If yours is make sure your filling your humidifier to the ma...
