Jen,

How have I missed this thread? Welcome back! I came back at about the same time as you.
I'm so glad you've started this thread. It's great to learn from others who have similar situations.

Still going strong and no symptoms of aerophagia. Exercising every couple of days now because I have the energy which seems to be improving my sleep even more. Starting to realize how bad things had got with my focus, patience and lack of motivation. Had a couple of 'rough' nights (I say rough but ...

You are managing this part of your sleep therapy well. The next step is determining what else you can do besides data that will give you peace enough to rest and sleep. Revisiting good pressure management can only bring you so far. If you had bad large leaks or a terrible AHI or RDI, we might be abl...

Congratulations! Yes, it can take time. I hope you find the mask that's right for you. Does anyone else feel like Darth Vader when wearing a full-face mask? No? Just me? Okay. No... It's not just you. Darth Vader has many children... The force is strong with this meme. :lol: I am your father... http...

What should I be searching for? Should I stick with Respirionics or is there a lot of difference between brands? I have been using my backup for about a month but would like to search for another one to have for a backup now. Thanks Michael Respironics is rather coarse in all respects compared with...

very early days, but- US drugmaker reports promising early results from COVID-19 vaccine test https://www.rawstory.com/2020/05/us-drugmaker-reports-promising-early-results-from-covid-19-vaccine-test/ Thanks for posting that encouraging report. I was down after just reading this shade thrown on the ...

I'm curious. They say people can get infected twice from this virus so how would a vaccine help? Short answer: It may help by keeping people from dying from known strains when a vaccine becomes available. It may not help if the virus can mutate faster than new vaccines can be made. We don't know ye...

I have developed a bit of soreness by my nostrils, I guess Lansinoh is the recommended treatment? I wonder if there is something else I can use, some sort of ointment? Anyhow, I decided now would be a good time to try and switch back to the full face mask. I haven't tried it since April 20, and had...

Best night yet! Still can't sleep for awhile but dozed off a few times early. And a great AHI. Hopefully the start of some better times! Down 27lbs in 7 weeks so far, so hopefully that is helping.

Way to go, NewToSleepApnea!

I listen to audiobooks that I've heard a dozen or more times before - usually pop-fiction brain candy by an author I like read by a narrator that I like. I put the audio level just low enough that I can barely hear it. Since I already know the plot line, I don't have to very listen hard. If I wake u...

I take protonix for GERD. I also have a hiatal hernia. Eating smaller meals and avoiding food at bedtime helps. There is a product called Gaviscon that help. The one sold here in the US drugstores is just an antacid. The one you want has sodium alginate and coats your esophagus. It really helps a l...
