I'm sooooo unoriginal . . . . I will have to change my name. When I signed up, I had not read any posts yet. Any suggestions? My usual handle is unoriginal as well . . . ALIJACE . . . combined kids names!

Hmmmmm, have to go figure out a new handle!

I originally went to the doctor about this same thing. The doctor just told me to limit salt. A year later, I went to him for a referral to the sleep study. He did all of the thyroid tests and told me they were fine. I had not heard of the connection. I have been on cpap for 3 months now and I do no...

Yes - I am using Vista and Encore Pro. It took some working and if I am remembering correctly (there was some frustration, flinging insults at computer, etc!) what finally worked was going into the properties (right click the program) and changing the permission to administrator. I will try to check...

I was born in Minot, lived in Grand Forks and shopped in Fargo! I didn't think that many people have even heard of North Dakota!

The way your are feeling, both physically and mentally need to be addressed NOW. If you cut your arm open and needed stiches you would go to the doctor for help . . . . This is much more serious and life-threatening. Please tell your family your desperation and then insist on getting help RIGHT NOW!...

I started reading this board before my study, bought my equipment (no insurance) and decided I wanted to live. I read all the information I could and slept with the mask from the first night. I have had to purchase several masks, had trouble with leaks, software issues, rainout and just plain taking...

I am so used to not sleeping, that I don't go to bed until late and then I wake up early . . . not because I want to, but because I have been avoiding sleep for quit...

I have extremely high snores, but low leak rate!? I have been having issues with rainout. Could that cause vibration (i.e. snores)? My hubby says he hasn't heard me snore either.

I recently did the "buy it now" on a hybrid mask for $50.00. It came in two days and was brand new - still in plastic. Unfortunately, I can't get it to seal on my face, so I might have to perform the modifications that are posted! I was very happy with my purchase and because I am still seeking the ...
