cpapernewbie,
Thanks, for the information. We're taking the "California Zephyr." I'm assuming that's what you're referring to when you mention the California train. Glad to hear it has outlets at each seat. I'll be miserable if I have to sleep without CPAP. Thanks so much! stormin normin

I'm going to Colorado from Indiana on amtrak train. Does anyone know how easy or hard it will be to find a plug in? Am I setting self up for a "bad night." I purchased a Puritan Bennett Goodnight 420sp for a backup and travel machine. We'll be traveling all night coach fare. I can't go one night wit...

Terry, The only thing I see is that it was at the pressure of 12. I'm going to try and post a picture of my data so sandystreet can see it and any one else help me with it.

SleepySandy, I'm using 1.5b7 MyEncore version. I'm looking to find out what encorepro version i have. I purchased it Nov 06 from cpap.com. So it's pretty new. I'll try to attach a file that has pictures of my data from both. Thanks!

I got the 222 seconds from MyEncore. I just crosschecked it with Encore Pro and it said the average length of apnea that night (7th of April) was 4 minutes. The thing is that both it and MyEncore say I only had one apnea that night. I was stumped cause usually I have 2 or 3 apneas about anywhere fro...

I've been doing very well in my treatment for about 5 months now on my resperon auto at 11 - 15 pressure. A few nights ago my machine card registered an apnea episode lasting 222 seconds. A couple months ago, I had one that lasted about 80 some seconds. Is this normal?? It's alarming to think I didn...

Stoverquill I was dreaming as I awoke at 7:20 this morning. I did'nt realize it till on my way to work and it him me that I was in the middle of a very vivid dream. Wow, been years sinced I've had dreams like Ive had the past 3 weeks on cpap. It's like living two lives. One life at night, another in...

Becka, Personally, based on my limited knowledge, I do believe apnea starts for a lot of people either since birth or way prior to when they are diagnosed. As we get older (for those of us who are "older") I believe we are less able to withstand the symptoms of sleep apnea and doctors are more willi...

Thanks, Katherine and everyone else. I started the velarian root last night (the time release mix (sleep md from walgreens) and a couple of the regular capsules) and slept very well. Also, I had no caffeine after 3 PM. I'll look into the vitamin D etc.

Thanks, Stormin

Chris, I tried the comfortlite II during my titration study. It has 2 fittings, a nasal prong/pillow that fits just barely inside your nostril and the other fitting was a more standard small nose mask cover (not sure what its called as I'm new at this too). The comforlite II prong caused a very unco...

Jenny, thanks, you understand then the sleep complexities and chronic fatigue and pain endured by fibro sufferers. I stayed awake till 3am from the trazadone. Also, I found out it can or does reduce REM sleep as shown through numerous research studies. I may go to a fibro support forum to talk and a...

Thank you for suggestions. I will try them. One thing I didn't mention is I had been taking a mix of flexeril and effexor for many years. Till abot 1 or 2 years ago when lunesta became available. I also have fibromyaligia, thus chronic pain & sleep disorders par for the course. Flexeril seems to wor...

Jenny, I'd definitely recommend trying a full face mask if a nasal at 6 months is not working. The advantage of a full face over a nasal is you don't have to worry about mouth breathing. It's a non-issue. However, you have to get used to the mask covering both mouth and nose. I use the fisher paykel...

Elle, Keep looking up information on this site regarding masks. There are lots of posts regarding how to deal with mask leaks. Bunches of them. So, keep working with that mask till you get it right. Personally, I've wore mask at various times of the day while watching TV etc with the cpap pressure a...
