Re: Brand New to CPAP and STRUGGLING

I have a full face mask and absolutely hate it. Have you found that model on youtube and carefully watched some videos on fitting and adjusting? I was instructed in person, seen videos, and used the machines mask fit test. Everything is fine when I go to sleep, but I guess hours of pressure inside ...

Back when snl was funny! The only thing fairly recently that I thought was funny was their Alexa for seniors commercial.
I refuse to buy an Alexa unless it will respond to “Odessa!”.
Yea, that was golden.

Re: Brand New to CPAP and STRUGGLING

Hi Greg, I am also new to CPAP therapy, about 90 days into it now. Some nights it works fine but about 1/2 the time I still struggle with it. I have a full face mask and absolutely hate it. Soon as my insurance will pay, I will be trying the nasal pillows. I think the main problem with the full mask...

Re: Newbie Here - 1 month in

I’m still around and still having hell with the full face mask. My doctor gave me a prescription to change mask type, but insurance won’t pay for another 60 days or so. Why are these little pieces of plastic so expensive? Some nights therapy goes well, but about 1/2 the time I still get woken up wit...

Re: Newbie Here - 1 month in

we only need the first graph. this is just off the top of my head, you need to work on that leak rate. it's possibly interfering with the machines ability to give you good treatment. why the short session of sleep? who gave you your current settings? i really don't know if that will have impact on ...

Re: Newbie Here - 1 month in

Thanks for the replies. Last night went a little better although I stayed up later than I should playing a new game I had downloaded. At some point I woke up due to a mask leak, then tightened the straps a little and waited for the machine to realize I was no longer sleeping and reduce pressure. I t...

Newbie Here - 1 month in

I just started therapy a month ago using ResMed AirSense 11, with humidifier, heated hose, and the mask is an AirFit F30i. While I did see an instant improvement in how I felt after my first night of therapy, my results have been wildly all over the place. A few nights I slept fine with it and got h...
