Now you know! It's called "Service" and training from a tech--thank god not many new patients "just log onto some Web site." Oh, don't get me wrong. I loved the lesson. I just didn't like waiting two weeks for my gear. In this day of just-in-time supply chains and overnight everything, it seemed ne...

Thanks for the suggestions. So far I haven't needed to tape my mouth. I thought I might because before the CPAP I mostly breathed--snored? gasped?--from my mouth when I slept. But with the nasal pillow my mouth has been staying shut. I'd prefer not to have anything on my chin, but if it works, it wo...

How about getting a carry-on bag that's big enough for your CPAP gear and your laptop?

Thanks for responding. That's probably the one I'll try. Let me ask you, does the chin strap keep ypu from opening your mouth? Would the mask stay on without the chinstrap? It looks uncomfortable.

I thought I'd post an update. I finally got my mask and machine nearly two weeks after my study. Why I couldn't just log onto some Web site and have them overnight it to me, I don't know.

She says she gets worried when any of her patients drop below 95 or 96. That's where most otherwise healthy pe...

Click on the yellow lightbulb at the top of this page for some great information to get you started. Thanks Jeff and everyone else for your kind wishes. I'm going through the yellow light bulb information now. I never had any idea that my annoying problem was so widespread or so widely studied. The...

That sounds great. I didn't know about that. I develop financial trading models by profession, so I love data! I'm going to call the clinic in the morning and ask about that.

I am new to CPAPs and new to this board, so bear with me if this isn't the right place for this post. I wish I had heard about this forum and this technology years ago. I have been a big snorer all my adult life. It has gotten progressively worse over the years and has evolved into pretty severe apn...
