Hi sloizeaux, After carefully reading your post, I think there is an alternative for you to consider. You did mention you slept great and your wife can attest to you not having snored. That's probably the whole problem and the answer to your dilemma. Think about it. There you are sleeping great and ...

Hi newbieinOhio, My first reaction to your post is that, indeed, you need to get copies of both titrations and then become much more aggressive and demanding regarding any further steps your medical advisors want you to take. I have had three lab titrations and have never experienced the issues you ...

It took me so long to type my post that I did not see Sleepinggoodfeelinggood's post before mine. If I did, I could have saved myself a lot of time as s/he concisely said what I meant to. But I think s/he needs a shorter name as there will probably be another post by the time I get this done and spe...

This is a topic that should not be buried. It almost seems to me that some hoseheads do not wish to broach the subject of just exactly what the other half feels. Please do not bury your head in a mask. There have been posts on other threads by singles very worried how this treatment may affect any n...

This is actually a very neat thread. It's really too bad we did not hear from Guest/Help/Spouse 's husband. Assuming the original poster is sincere, I think the thread sheds some light on the frustrations partners of hoseheads may face. Particularly in the early stages. To take this a step further, ...

Hi SelfSeeker,

Eenie, meenie, miney moe,
Start the wind and let her blow.
If it hurts and leaks and starts to rain,
Throw it out and start again.

Simple solution, hope it helps.

Just a few news headlines, weather reports and sports scores and we would be all set. Do they have wake up calls here?

Hi SelfSeeker, You have asked some great questions and I too would like this information. I started xPAP January 2005 and have used the same Activa mask without changes ever since. To date, it still seems to work fine but am starting to wonder if the headstraps are stretching a little. The cushion i...

I really screwed up this time. Devious little nit that I am, kind of backed myself into a corner and not sure what to do. Thought I would outline my dilemma on this thread as all the heavyweights seem to be playing close attention which should increase my chances of getting sound advice on just what...

Hi rjgreen, No question about it - use distilled water. That's what is in the xPap manual and no doubt what the evil DME told you. The only thing though, is be sure to read the contents label on the container. Sometimes the dye they use to give it that "distilled look" can actually make your pee a l...

Seems to be a lot of divergent thinking on this issue. No wonder really, when so many do not have all the facts. AND, the real facts are hard to come by, being the mortals we are. Some of us however (me), do have a hot line to the powers that be and have a thorough understanding of just what the hel...
