Fibro, new cpapa & RX

Post by kquilts » Wed Sep 21, 2005 3:37 am

Back again,
This time sleepless... been up since 11:30 pm, its now 2:30am. The swift pillow lasted about 90 minutes for the fourth nite. However the DR. has me now taking Mirapex to help the periodic limb movements.
The RX diffently has the common side effects......I'll call tomorrow, I'm not going down this road with the RX it makes me feel very odd for about 45 minutes then it seems to cause insomnia about 4 hours later, not cool!
I called the resp. nurse she is sending out two different mask to try.
Taking a trip on Thursday for 5 days, I decided I'm not going to take the unit with me, I need to regroup and rethink and start again next week.
Also order the new PAPillow as some of you suggested, the sales rep said they are wonderful and will help with keeping the mask from shifting around.
Thanks for listening!

Goodluck with this. It is a trying part of xpap therapy.
