I'm a side / stomach sleeper and when my face mashes the pillows I spring leaks. so I had a cpap pillow overnighted to me and it has not helped. it too tall so my neck is strained and it still disrupts the mask. I'm predominately a side sleeper and hubby is a stomach/back sleeper. We're both PAPers...

Sorry still learning my way. Meant to reply and state I do have a full face mask
That is why the drooling is a issue. Has no where to go.

The drooling might (???) be coming from you mouth dropping open while asleep. A soft cervical collar might help that by preventing jaw drop. Helps with leaks as well. For a FFM, much better than a chin strap. [quote][/quote]

I do wear a full face mask.

I was hoping I could get some suggestions. I'm totally lost on what to do. I used a cpap machine for the 1st time last Friday and have been trying to adjust ever since. (7 days straight) My prescription was set at 4-20 so the first 2 nights I was just getting blasted awake as the machine was hitting...

Yeah I tink I'm going to just buy my own. For a few hundred dollars more I can pick a machine that recommended on here rather then being stuck with what ever they deem I can have. The sleep clinic wouldn't spell out what was included in the 800 they want to charge. I think I'm probably going to need...

I was just recently diagnosed sleep apnea. Yep came to the conclusion that I'm going to have to deal with it. But I haven't been pleased with my sleep clinic. I guess I don't have the best insurance in the world and they realize they aren't going to get any more money from me. Translation insurance ...

Might as we'll be diapers it is just as degrading looking like a mutant with a hose running out my nose I'm starting to think this asshole is just here to troll us. Crossed my mind, too.........but, we need to let it play out and give the situation the benefit of the doubt for now. Sounds like so m...

The DME doesn't determine the pressure settings. They set the pressure(s) according to the prescripton from the doctor. Have you had a second sleep study with a machine? If not, your machine will likely be an APAP (auto-adjusting cpap) set to a range of pressures. I have not had. Second study. My i...

At this point dying seems the best option. Probably the best sleep I can hope to achieve now! well, you can do that, though your wife is trying to keep you alive... or maybe she just wants to avoid having to change your diapers after you have a stroke and are nothing but a drooling moron and huge l...

I have slept fine for the last 36 years . Why do I need to change ? Just another crutch in my life I don't need to deal with. I wake up and feel fine. I'm not sleepy durning the day I don't wake up with headaches . It seems silly that the doctor I watched sleeping at his qualified to even judge me o...

After being forced to go to sleep doctor by my other half I was diagnosed Osa. And now I'm just waiting to hear from the lovely home medical supplier which I picture as a cross between a used car salesman and a ambulance chaser lawyer type. The home torture study I endured proved to me I dont have s...
