After almost 4 months of sleeping better than I had in years, I am now back to waking up every 1-2 hours all night. My husband says I do NOT snore and I use my CPAP/mask religiously!! When I wake up, I have a full bladder all the time. This has been going on for a couple of weeks now. I am on antibi...

I have to work today but wanted to write a short post. After several weeks of treatment, I was sleeping great and feeling even better. But for the past 2 weeks, I am back to how it was before CPAP...waking every hour with a full bladder and feeling like crap (forgive the last word but it is how I fe...

I have discovered with about 5 weeks using the Ultra Mirage FF Mask that when I lay down at night the straps fit great but when I wake during the night they are almost unbearably tight. Am I a shape shifter like in the SciFi movies or is this normal? It is most frustrating. I found a "comfortable" t...

I have battled depression for most of my adult life and have been on medication for it for part of that time. About 2 years ago, I took myself off Prozac and have been doing well with just some normal periods of depression. However, I have discovered a "side effect" of CPAP treatment. I almost have ...

I have 3 adult cats and 3 adult dogs (no comments please ---blame it on my mother) so one of the first thing I did when I started CPAP was to make a cover for the hose. I had a hunk of fleece in my sewing box (not often used) and cut it so it would wrap around the hose. I secured it with yarn ties. ...

I pretty much stay here on CPAP Talk. My time is limited when I am working (on vacation this past week) and I really don't have time for more than one.

So, I chose the one I consider to be the best...this one.

Just a reminder of 2 things you should NOT do when on therapy, both of which I did last night and woke up unrested and regretful. 1: Do NOT watch TV when in bed. The "I will watch for a while till I get sleepy" easily turns into "Just one more episode of Special Unit 2" on Sci-Fi TV. 2: Do NOT put y...

I use the ResMed Ultra Mirage Full Face Mask also and I love it. I agree that getting the straps "right" is a bit of a struggle but once you get by that, it is a easy mask to wear each night. BTW, I spoke to you in the Chat Room this morning! I am glad you decided to pick the brains of your fellow f...

I started with this mask, went to nasal pillows and back to the FF Mask. I perservered with it and wore it all night every night and I LOVE IT. Putting my ResMed Ultra Mirage FF Mask on at night is something I don't dread but look forward to. I am used to sleeping with it and when I put it on, I kno...

My husband has gout and I know it is miserable. I will pray that you feel better soon.

I just wanted to write and tell everyone DON'T GIVE UP!!! After a little over a month on CPAP, using it EVERY night ALL night, I feel like a new person!!!! I had 2 doctor's appointments this past week. My blood pressure was down, I lost a few pounds, the dark circles are gone from under my eyes (the...

Do I sense a fellow HSN junkie????

Oh my goodness, I forgot THREE BD's!!!

SLINKY, BOOKWRM63 and TaterPie.....I hope you had a Happy Birthday and may the Lord bless and keep you in the coming year and always!!

WELCOME!! I have been on CPAP for a little over a month. I have used two masks...first ResMed Ultra Mirage Full Face Mask and then tried the Swift Nasal Pads. After a few days I went back to the Ultra Mirage and have since adjusted to it very well and must say I am very comfortable with it!! At the ...

Could you include things like chin straps too? I have one of those, slightly used......
