I'm a 43 year old male and I weigh 190 lbs. I'm 5'9" tall and my cholesterol and BP are fine. I've been the same weight for 10 plus years. I just starting regular walking and eating better and hope to end up at about 175-180 ideally. I'm in terrible shape from little activity. My apea is mild, so I ...

I'm going to bump my own thread one more time, then I'll forget about it. I have two pillows - brand spankin new and unopened (in sealed package) for the Optilife system. They are MEDIUM and LARGE sizes. I have an opened, but unused PETITE size. Since the price of these is about $25/each new, I'd lo...

Trade: Optilife Pillow
I saw the Swift pillow trade thread, and I couldn't resist I have the Large and Medium pillows for an Optilife, both unopened. I would like to trade for a Small pillow. I also have the petite that has been opened, but never used. I would be willing to trade that for a small also. Any wheeler-dealers...

I went to bed real early (8:30 PM) and woke up last night at about 1:30 AM and found the Opti straps on top of my head slipped and the pillows were pulled down a bit. I'm guessing I need to tighten down the straps a little bit. I tried going back a sleep, but one of the pillows didn't "seat" properl...

My new OptiLife mask arrived today - I'm excited!!!
I'm so excited, I got my new Optilife Nasal Pillows mask today. I'm only a few weeks with my APAP, but I would have an itchy nose, due to the airflow, when wearing my ComfortGel nasal mask. I just hated the fact I couldn't scratch the outside of my nose during the night, so I ordered a Optilife this...

[quote="Handgunner45"]I would never suggest that someone not follow their doctors advice, but..... but I do take Tylenol PM nearly every night . My numbers are actually better when I take the Tylenol than they are without it. I even asked the Sleep Tech when I had my sleep study about the Tylenol an...

I've been wondering the same things as you vdol52. I've only been on CPAP for just short of a week and have the Remstar Auto. I have my range set from 6-10, I believe. I did hold my breath, but obviously not long enough for a ramp up. There has got to be some magic that we aren't getting The biggest...

Great temporary cures for soreness of nose bridge areas, But I feel that only conceals the problem, its not the material of the mask causing the problem, adjust the forehead piece to take pressure off the nose , keeping this treatment simple and comfortable, that should be our goal. By the way stil...

Re: Today's the day
The one good thing about the long wait is that it's helped me to make the mental adjustment to the idea of CPAP. Instead of dreading it, I'm actually eager to get started. Wish me luck! Jeff Jeff, I felt exactly the way you do know when I started my therapy at the end of last week. I was PLEASANTLY...

I'm going to try the thick band aide option that tangents suggested tonight. This board is wonderful. After reading the b...
