Its nice to see y'all have DMEs that return your calls. Even if they are doing it to be a jack ass.

Excuse me while I run over there to register.

Looks like you're managing it but I'll be redundant. The best way to work with Vicodin is to not let them wear off. I am not recommending this of course because your Dr gave you instructions on how to safely take the medication but, when Hubby had a 4mm stuck at the base of one kidney, he was taking...

Its been a bit over two months for me, and a bit of a struggle to get my mask fitting properly. Getting help from my DME is near impossible. I was one of the ones that had a honeymoon period so it was a little disappointing when the honeymoon was over. Sometimes I have to remind myself of what it wa...

The cheese reminds me of the first time hubby and I flew after the new 2oz of liquid regulations started. Hubby brought a 4oz bottle of astro glide, he thought it should go through since it was less than half full. The tsa guy had a sense of humor and decided to show it by holding the bottle up to h...

Ive been at this about two months. I'm still tired every day too but, Ive noticed its a different kind of tired. Its a functional tired. I now choose to sleep instead of discovering my forehead has hit my keyboard. I am functional on Mondays now and last weekend, after a horrible night of sleep, I w...

From what I can tell, compliance in the general population is less than 50%. It seems everyone you talk to says they have a machine but don't use it. Is it any wonder when they hand you the same equipment they've handed everyone else and send you out the door? The nurse I saw kept reiterating how im...

oops sorry typo. RobYsue Edited to add: Just couldn't do the nasal mask. I am comfortable with a full face mask and consciously tell myself to breath through my nose but for the first 10-20 minutes in, my sinuses are still swollen due to allergies and breathing through my nose just doesn't provide e...

Chunkyfrog, I think you just told my story! 1) Ive been to the office 3 times so far and I dont think the Dr. was in the office at the time. Im disappointed with my sleep center so that doesnt say much. 2) Ambien 3) For my first sleep study I was in a narrow hospital bed. I think that bed would have...

Thank you Robsue! Answers like these are one of the reasons I never would have made it without this forum. As time passes I think less and less of the office that handed me a mask and machine and told me to be sure to use it every day. I really don't see how people can possibly make this work withou...

I'm sorry if this is a repeat question. I did a search and didn't see it answered. My leak numbers say Median: 3.6, 95th% 13.8 and Maximum 154.2 What do these numbers mean? I know I have some leak issues which feel like they've improved immensely since working on fit but the numbers only show real i...

I actually use it to my advantage. My vent blows upward from the top of the mask. If my husband is snoring, I point the vent at him and he rolls over.

it has been so long since I've felt frisky. And that's a significant part of my problem I would be willing to bet this is unrelated to OSA. Its much more likely to be either a side effect of one of you medications or a hormonal imbalance. See your GP and if they cant help, see your GYN. Another str...
