Re: Increased Daytime Anxiety and Depression

I was on trazadone for many years. I like that it is an antidepressant w/sedating effects. It is an old 'work horse' without all the bells and whistles that the newer drugs that have lots of advertising money to spend. Also, it is not addicting. Glad to hear this helped so much. And no, I'm not a sa...

Re: Unexpected Insomnia and Panic Attacks

Please don't beat yourself up about seroquel. You are on a minute dose. I've been on it for years, also at a very low dose. It works!

Re: What is the best nasal CPAP mask for not leaking?

I used to soak it in a warm water solution for about 20 minutes every week. I've not been good about cleaning it so after 10 days or so it keeps slipping around and I've not been as happy about it. I'm just about to go back to cleaning it once a week.

SleepHQ Need help with how to drag and drop files and folders from your SD card into the file upload box below.

I'm trying to use the SleepHQ report program and could really use help with "drag all the files and folders from your SD card into the file upload box below." From my computer do I only just drag the items on the right side of the screen over to the left side? Or do I have to take out the SD card th...

which side of the filter is to be facing the machine
The clean side.
When I put a new filter in, both sides are clean, I just didn't know if it was the fuzzy side or the very slightly shiny side.

It depends on the type of filter.

Generally the "fuzzy" side (if there is one) goes facing outwards.
If you can't really tell if one side is fuzzier than the other then it doesn't really matter.
Thank you Pugsy. I'll use the 'fuzzier side' . Thank you.

Re: new mask help

When I first started to use my CPAP, my mouth and nose were really dry. What solved the problem right away was to raise my humidity to 5 and and raise the temperature in my heated hose to 84. Worked like a charm! BTW, I have a nasal mask, a DreamWisp and like it very much although it's the only mask...

LSAT, I looked at the video and there was very good information about how the tube can become dislodged. Thank you.

Re: Unable to use my machine because of mask and tube leaks

Artsyuno, it worked! As you suggested, I pulled out the little gray connector (outlet connector which connects the air tubing), put it back in and plugged in the water basin, the hooked up the tubing. Thank you so much!!!
