Re: Waking with Rapid Heart Beat
I also had a major problem waking up with tachycardia. In my case it persisted for several hours. I do not think the problem I had is what the OP is experiencing, I am only mentioning it here as the topic may draw attention of someone that does have the same problem as I had. I'll try to keep this s...

Re: F&P Icon+ data
I have been using an F&P Icon+ auto for about a month now, and really like it. I did not have an economical option to get the S9 Autoset that everyone raves about I got my F&P from eBay for $300. It only had 36 hrs non-resettable runtime, and was in almost perfect condition. I learned eBay does not ...

Good to the Last Drop (PurSleep)
A few months ago, I got a chance to participate in a Pursleep trial. Much to my surprise, I felt the product helped me fall to sleep faster, and sleep better. Initially, I attributed that more to masking various smells (CPAP machine plastic, faint tobacco stench from clothes of visitors, and as they...

As they say "Your mileage may vary". I had fairly good results on day one. woke up w/o a headache, maybe one bathroom trip, in lieu of several. Fairly energetic during the day, no falling asleep in front of my computer at work. I was using a nasal mask (Optilife). I had some concerns that my mouth *...

Don't Leave Home Without It! (Pur-sleep)
First, I am a bit cynical by nature. When I read a few glowing reviews by Pur-sleep users, I thought, "Ya, sure". Then I saw a post for a free trial. I might be cyncial, but I still like free stuff! I received the basic starter kit and began using it. Using Pur-sleep aroma was a pleasant enough, and...

Re: first and second night
as lay I there tears silently ran down my face. Welcome aboard Pam... I too had tears running down my face, but mine were tears of joy! I knew I would no longer fear falling to sleep and loosing my breath, having nightmares of drowning, being buried alive, etc. I have been in this world long enough...

Re: Yet another noob
Oh, 35 year old male, 6'0 and 195lbs, have always had extremely loud snoring and my wife finally got tired of hearing the choking and gasping in between all night... Thank your lucky stars that your wife "nagged" you into getting help. I was probably about your age and size when I began snoring a b...

I use an Isotonic memory foam pillow that is half memory foam on one side and synthetic "down" on the other side. For me, when used with cpap, It's much better than a 100% memory foam pillow Vader, that's something else we seem to have in common. I use a similar pillow, memory foam on one side, syn...

Congrats, Chappy! Hopefully all is still going well for you. I too am one of the lucky ones that had success on Day 1. I am about 2 months into it, and have yet to have a "bad" night, though I have had a few restless moments on a couple of nights due to experimenting a bit with different pillows, an...

I looked at the site... their advertising doesn't completely match. The picture on the main page of the headgear doesn't match the picture inside... the one inside has headgear coming between the eyes. The link that describes the headgear states: " Comfortable Headgear, comes with three straps, use...

Congratz on your first year.... I too believe reviews for any long term usage item should only be given after an adequate trial period. I recently was lucky enough to get in on the Pur-Sleep trial. I experienced several restless nights when first using the Pur Sleep aromatics. However, I had several...

Welcome Greeneye, I too am relatively new here. Like you, (and many others - I have learned from reading this forum), I had OSA for many years. I put off doing anything about it because I had only heard stories that left me with the impression that surgery was the only treatment, and that the surger...

Sent a PM to SleepGuy on Aug 2, received trial kit Aug 6th! I have waited to report results because several changes in my CPAP setup and nighttime routine occurred simultaneously, so I couldn't make an accurate assessment.... Night 1: I accidently put at least 5 drops of Spice on the diffuser pad. W...

Most nights it's Led Zeppelin , which is not most peoples idea of sleep music but I fall asleep to it like a lulabye. I'm 59, and am almost embarrassed to admit that I often listen to Infected Mushroom and Juno Reactor also probably not most people's idea of sleep music. It's also the reason I use ...
