Re: Cpap Pro - has anyone tried it?

How can that be more comfortable / better than nasal pillows?

Re: First Night...

SH! Enjoy. I'm a new guy as well with 3 nights under my belt. Didn't know what to expect, but I do like going through the day without needing a nap. Didn't expect that. I'm flying to NYC on my weekly trip and I normally sleep the whole trip (and irritate everyone with my snoring). Just finished watc...

Mask experimentation without insurance

I'm working on getting Tricare to pay for my CPAP kit, but as any of you folks know, finding someone that takes Tricare has gotten somewhat problematic these days. In the meantime, I am trying new masks on my own dime through cpap.com and return insurance. I currently have the Mirage Quattro full fa...

Re: I'm a geek

Had a good night last night. AHI of .5, miminal leaks, good night's sleep. The sole reason I went down this CPAP road was to get rid of my snoring. Last night, for the first time in 25 years, I didn't snore at all. What I didn't expect, but hoped for, was to sleep better. Now I think I need to work ...

Re: I'm a geek

Data. We have data. Last night, I tried the pressure setting at 4 in CPAP mode. AHI increased a little but not like I thought it might. What did happen was the snoring was bad with the pressure set at 4 and I did not get any real sleep. Kindof like I felt when I did not use any CPAP. With the pressu...

Re: I'm a geek

John, great advise. I found out from a fellow veteran that Tricare will cover a new sleep study. If that reveals a more serious problem than 4 years ago, then they will cover the cost of a different machine and or mask. I will definitely do that.

I'm a geek

Newbie here. Had a sleep study done 4 years ago. Doc said I didn't sleep well but had no apneas. Snored like a lumberjack and woke up 40 times an hour, but had no real decreases in O2 saturation. Felt sorry for me and prescribed a CPAP but wouldn't diagnose me with OSD or anything that would allow m...
