Thanks for putting all that so clearly!

struggle all night long
tossing turning with bad dreams
gasping grab my throat
sleep you have forsaken me

Okay, Liam, you just insulated...er...insulted...this Republican! For that, you get to sleep with Hillary Clinton. LOLOLOLOL.

Meister, ROFL!! I step outside for that!

This is a very interesting thread. I applaud you all for being able to come out from behind the bedroom door. Approximately 10 years ago, my husband & I decided to share different bedrooms. I knew I had apnea at that point, just couldn't do anything about it. So I was having my usual arousals, and w...

Thanks for the info. Little by little, I'm learning my way around the Pap world, thanks to all of you. I found out from my DME that I can get a new mask via insurance in 6 months, but if I decide to try the pillows/chin strap/tape route, I don't want to wait that long. I will own my Ultra Mirage , m...

rested gal, Good picture for illustration. Is it true the Swift has a new type of pillows that are shorter and softer...thus easier on tender tissues?
How long did it take your nose to get over the soreness when you first begin wearing pillows?

Restedgal, Boy, do I relate. Before I knew I had OSA, a girlfriend I used to work with moved back to her home state of Wisconsin. We kept in touch, and she came to visit me several times. One year she invited me up to an all-women fishing trip to the Boundary Waters in Minnesota. There were about 8 ...

Just checking to make sure that should I decide to order the Swift or Breeze pillows, that it will work with my Resperonics BiPAP pro 2. I think so..was it you, Meister who said you have pillows with yours? Or was it MartiniLover? <brain fog isn't gone yet> Also, will the hose I have with my Ultra M...

Meister, thank you for giving me something to laugh about! That's what I like about this forum. You all have such a great sense of humor and realize as we struggle with our treatment, we need those light moments. I'll tell you what. I'll rob that bank first, then you and I can spend all that money. ...

<digging out the ole pantyhose>

Well, Meister, I guess the next thing I could want is for somebody to tell me it's OK to go rob a bank. I'd like to spend next Christmas in Hawaii.

I'm so glad you had a good doctor that did that for you. My pulmonologist didn't even see me at first, until I made waves and insisted. My regular doctor, who sent me there in the first place, told me when I went back to him, "I don't know anything about that stuff, you'll have to see Dr. Lewis." It...

unclebob, I duly take in your cautions. One night doesn't mean I'm walking the yellow brick road. Yet! I've read so much on this forum about everyone's struggles, that it just felt good to have gotten at least one night's good sleep. I am forever the optimist. Meister, which dental device are you ta...

Thanks to all for your encouragement, from how to stop leaks to being firm with the DME provider. I used Meister's tip about stuffing tissue under the edge of the mask where it leaked, and VOILA! It worked! I had a headband ready to use per another suggestion, but never had to put it on. I slept com...
