Stick with it

I think a good deal of the problem is that you are not consistently using the CPAP machine. You gotta stick with it, and that means weraing it EVERY time you sleep (naps and all). I know it sucks, but you gotta do it. Besides, I can promise you that you will get used to it. After awhile, you'll be l...

Forums

Your setup

You have almost the exact same setup that I do. My advice: Just stick with it! It will take awhile (maybe weeks), but you WILL get used to CPAP. And you'll be a better person for it.

Chin strap

How does one "adjust the cpap properly" to avoid mouth leakage????? It is either blowing the pressure you need or not. All I know is that she said told me the need for chin straps could be replaced by properly setting the machine to the correct pressure. I knew that most here would question this. B...

Mouth leaks?

Regarding the pics on the website... They were posed pics taken while I was awake, just to show what a CPAP mask looks like when worn. However, I do get a little mouth leak I'm sure during the course of the night, because I do not always sleep with my mouth closed. I'm sure this will be controversia...

My expertise

To answer questions about my expertise level - it's probably novice I'm sure. That's why I wrote only 3 articles on the site - and those articles are definitely just basic info. I'm not pretending to be a doctor, just wanna tell my story from a patient's perspective. I think my article entitled "Wha...
