Re: POLL: What got you into xPAP therapy ?

My hubby is the one who started me off thinking I may have sleep apnea. He always said that I snore pretty bad, and then he had his yearly physical at the VA and they mentioned wanting him to do a sleep study himself due to snoring and other problems. He brought home a checklist to go over and when ...

Re: My Dad

I agree that 30 minutes is not enough time to evaluate for Sleep Apnea... My suggestion is that you contact your father's primary care physician and ask him/her to order an actual full nights sleep study at an accredited sleep center near your father. In my case I went back twice. The first time for...

Re: Boy does my hair look stupid.

Let your hair grow until it's long enough to pull into a ponytail on the top of your head. Works for me. So THAT's where it goes! On TOP of the head. I've been trying to figure it out! I have really long hair that makes my straps slide around on my head all night. I've tried braiding it, tying it i...

Re: ResMed S8 II Elite

I need to find the clinician's manual for a ResMed S8 II Elite, please. The DME set my new machine incorrectly. I know not to mess with the pressure, but he "forgot" to set anything else when he sent it to us. The DME is 2 hours away. Very frustrating. We already have a ResMed S8 II Elite, but I'll...

Re: just got started on cpap July 1,2009

no, if you are using a FF mask you wouldnt need a chin strap. Sorry, but I have to be a contrarian here. When I use a FF mask, I still need a chin strap. I've awakened myself when my lower lip goes outside of the lower part of the mask. Many may not, but I do. I should have added.... your mileage m...
