Okay so based on someones reccomendation I looked into upgrading from the ResMed compact to the Elite so I can get more data. Well she said they dont carry that, in fact she said they dont carry anything like that. SHe then told me that the software costs "like five hundred dollars" anyhow so after ...

Well I tried on a bunch of masks today not leaving until I knew I wouldnt have major leaks - apparently Im a freak. ANyhow I ended up with this Nasal-Aire - I think this is impossible to leak for anyone (knock on wood) but Im worried about how the insides of my nose are going to take it. Anyone have...

For my 2nd sleep test and my titration I took AMbien since my first study I didnt get enough REM sleep. They were very certain that taking the Ambien (sleeping pills) would not effect the results of the study. Also I took Lunesta for about a week before my diagnosis and it did nothing, I felt a bit ...

Is there a specfic reason my therapist gave me a CPAP instead of an APAP. Should I request an APAP? I have pretty decent insurance ASR - Physicians Care if that matters for coverage? Or doesnt it usually matter? It seems in all logic that an APAP is better than a CPAP so I was going to ask about it....

Well I went and got the large and they are way too far apart. I want this opus to work so bad but Im starting to feel like it wont I cant get a good seal. Thats 2 masks now that Ive tried and just cant get a seal - I swear my face is not odd shaped this sure is frustrating especially when it sounds ...

....hey get your mind out of the gutter... so now that Ill be trying this Opus pillow set tonight is there anything I should know so I dont wake up with blisters or any other suprises? Should I pile on the KY? Is Ky the best way to avoid blisters - thats what the therapist suggested? I just want to ...

Congrats hope to be in your shoes soon!!

Oops we posted at the sametime - thanks for helping Nasal Pillows are what Im curious about. Well my first blisters on the sides of mynose I think are from my titration they threw it on me and tightened it and from what I know now they did it too night. My newest blisters are on my bridge and yes I ...

I see many have read but I have no response yet. Im wondering if maybe I was confusing and didnt use the proper terminology. By nasal mask I mean something with a rubber cushion that surrounds your entire nose and by interface I was under the impression that is the type with a piece upto your nostri...

Im on night 4 of my mask - well 3 actually I skipped last night cause I needed some sleep plus my blisters needed healing. ANywho these nasal interfaces seem very interesting I just wondered why most people use nasal masks when nasal interfaces seem more leak proof - are there pros and cons? has any...

Great thanks Ill give it a some more time - wasnt sure if it was an "adjusting period" issue. So I probably just need to get accustomed to the pressure? I didnt know if it that could be a side effect of the reacting to the pressure or not. Ill assume it is then for now and if next week I still have ...

So last night was my 2nd night - not bad. I am one of those - nonsense people they describe in the stages of recovery so Im very optimistic and carefree about this whole thing just cant wait to have energy woohoo! Anywho sometimes I wake up and the pressure seems barely there (good thing I know) but...

I have been here for 2 days now and I just have to say you guys are great. Thanks for the education and good laughs. Im glad I have a place to go for help and advice thats so entertaining. Ive been laughing alot the last 2 days but I have to say the "fart" post just slayed me. Plus everytime I see D...

Well last night was my first night at home with my CPAP. I only used in half the night anyhow this afternoon Im getting head rushes and lightheaded really easy - is this normal? Reminds me of when my thyroids high - its nuts. Mainly its upon standing up fast but its alot and harsh. Anyone know anyth...
