Michele Now you just know that someone was going to write and suggest that you go right back to your sleep doctor or primary physican. They need to monitor more than compliance. They can also check your blood pressure. Please get them right in the midst of your care and aware of your complaints. Yo...

Kelly Please don't give up! I have been on cpap since the beginning of this year and it takes some getting used to. Many knowledgeable people have already replied and I would expect there will be more to add to this post soon. You have already been given good advice. Please tell us how your doctors...

Lots of reading here. This forum has made my cpap journey so much easier because of all the informati...

You are so right. That is exactly what happened. I was so upset with Artee. For the life of me I couldn't understand CG reply to me..........I can see why if one only read the first line...
Many Thanks and I did write a note to CG and tell her that I was in 100% agreement with her.

Again, that's your opinion. There are plenty of forums where they are not allowed. If you don't like the fact that they are given out here, you can either skip those posts, or you can go to other forums. I'm not trying to be nasty here, nana, but countless people's lives have been changed for the b...

Re: Taping safe?

Some folks who tape leave a note by their bed to let folks know that they are not trying to kill themselves! The only sure thing which I have learned is that if someone ever did die from taping, for some reason they don't post anything on these forums to tell the rest of us about it. If you would f...

Louise, I hear what you are saying. I think my expectations are strong for a quick fix by cpap, with a condition that I have had for years. I always think it should have been done "yesterday". We are finding ourselves more alert. Maybe those sensors for pain are awakened as well. Take care of your ...

Hi Slinky My RT uses the Vista and she's had great success with it for 3years. I think she mentioned to me that ResMed is going to discontinue it, as she thought she might order more than one. She had no complaints about the 'different' looking head gear! I started out in Jan. with an UMII nasal ma...

Most will tell you that if you want better numbers (the HIs are high), then you can get rid of alot of the HIs by raising your pressure. And if you can stand the higher pressure, you might want to do that for a week to see how you feel. But I agree with you and Mike, why mess with a good thing? I l...

nana, What is your pressure setting? Do you ever wake up with a dry mouth? Best wishes, Den Den I am at 13 for pressure. I used to tape my mouth and now I think I have learned to not open it. On a rare night I have a dry mouth. Would my leak level be higher if I were mouth breathing? I looked back ...
