Re: Therapy thread - a few weeks into CPAP

Happy New Year's all. Update - I tried out the Dreamwear mask with nasal pillows, and the first few nights seemed to be fairly good, with much lessened leak rates. I also have a confounding factor now that I'm taking a TCA for pain, which is making me sleepy during the day. But I do take the TCA aro...

Re: Therapy thread - a few weeks into CPAP

The P10...I have used it...it's not the most stable mask in the world as its straps move around a bit too easily and there's always the risk of the mouth opening leaks as well. It is still my number 2 in mask preferences though despite the moving around. The leaks don't wake me up so I don't really...

Re: Therapy thread - a few weeks into CPAP

Ah I see, thanks for the detailed clarification with pictures about the awake breathing. The reminder about sleep hygiene and not worrying too much about the numbers was helpful too, I spent more time relaxing last night in dim light. When I did wake up during the night (about 3 times), I went to an...

Re: Therapy thread - a few weeks into CPAP

Thanks all. I'll try a modest increase in humidity, changing the setting from 5 to 6. My nose was feeling a bit dry today, so this feels like the right incremental step for comfort instead of adjusting EPR.

Re: Therapy thread - a few weeks into CPAP

Thanks all for your time! (Edit: was drafting this while robysue1 was writing their post - will respond to their comments) What are the odds that you were awake when the bulk of those central apneas were flagged??? About the only thing you can do with your machine to maybe (stress the maybe part) re...

Therapy thread - a few weeks into CPAP

Been lurking around for a bit beforehand, I'm grateful for all of the helpful advice that I've read on the forum so far. Wanted to get some opinions on how my therapy is currently going, as I've been experiencing a high proportion of clear airway events. I’ve been APAP’ing for 3 weeks. Current setup...
