Still not adjusting to this thing

I've been trying to adjust to this stupid machine since the end of March. Haven't had a full night's sleep, but maybe once. Lately it's been back to how it was before the machine. I've got 348.8 hours on it... only 34 times with more than 4 hour stretches. I'm losing weight... have lost almost 10 po...

Brent,
PM Karen (PADACHEEK) about a buckle pad... it's not on her website, but she makes them (I've seen pictures). It's something that I'm considering for mine.

It's been just a little over 2 weeks from my sleep study. Had to call the doc that ordered the study a ...
