Maybe I'm too new to the CPAP game to be jaded, but my experience with Lincare was excellent. I went there, got my machine, the RT did a great job of explaining and taking time with me, programmed the machine to give me all the user readout options just like i asked. I'll be going back soon i think ...

I'm in the same boat. Saw the sleep doc today after 45 days of CPAP. He said the numbers look great and I should feel rested. But i don't. I wake up 6 times or so each night. I fall back to sleep, but can not stay asleep. He wants me to take Trazadone. I'm not to keen on that. I use the swift II, an...

Also a newbie. I wear a chin strap to keep my mouth closed.... but now y'all got me wondering if my lips are a flappin.... I have software, so i can look at my data.... what data will I look at to tell if I have a mouth leak? My data shows 0.0 for average large leaks......

Welcome to the club, although not a club that many want to join. The good news is our condition is treatable. You will find tons of information on this site, and the folks here are very willing to help you. My advice is to keep the mask on every night. It took me awhile to get used to it (in fact I'...

I'm lucky that i am med free. I only take (daily) a multi vitamin, vitamin E, and a omega 3 fish oil capsule (the spouse's idea....). It may be that the mask tugging is causing me to wake up. I'll stick with it and see what happens. My real hope is to feel rested enough so i can exercise in the morn...

AHI is hovering around 2.2

You are right, it has only been 16 days. I do intend to keep at it. The first few days i had leaks, and my mouth was open, so i got a chin strap, which solved the problem. I do check the LCD every day, and i saw the mask leaks drop way way down once i got everything adjusted. If the nose pillow thin...

Wow, fast replies. You are awesome. I've been thinking about the software, just wondering if it was worth the expense. I've been reading the posts here and can't decide... My sleep study says AHI of 21, REM AHI of 42, Oxygen nadir of 85%, EEG arousals 38 per hour. 128 events in 372 minutes. 19 obstr...

16 days on the machine, pressure of 11 (starting ramp at 4). Took 3 days to get used to the swift nasal pillows, I wear the contraption all night. Added a chin strap on night 3, which reduced the leakage and helped me adjust to everything. I wake up 6 to 12 times a night, but fall back asleep fairly...
