I haven't used olive oil since getting ears shringed (irrigated) the 2nd time and based on your replies, will not use till I can get to see an ENT. I will call tomorrow to see how soon I can get an appointment or I may need another referral from family physician. In any event, that will be my next s...

My ears have been clogged (or feels like it) since early december. I have had my ears shringed on the 7th and again on the 14th with little relief. Everything to me sounds muffled and when I talk, it's like I whisper. My husband asks me to speak louder but to me I already sound loud. I heard sometim...

Hi SleepGuy, I'm still going at it but still have rainout. I even tried cpap without humidifier and still get rainout. I am going to try to get some sort of sleeve to go over tubing to see if that helps. In meantime I have "new" M series auto with a-flex and humidifier. I find very loud compared to ...

Remstar Auto C-Flex Cpap vs M Series Auto Cpap with A-Flex. For the 1st 3 mths have been using Remstar which I had rented. I am required to rent for 1st 3 mths to see if treatment works then the $$$ for rental is included in purchase price. I now have the M series which I have now purchased on 10-15...

I know I wasn't specific but I was just upset and frustrated. Originally I did have surgery about a year ago to open my nasal passage which worked for awhile but then snoring returned. Dr suggested removing uvula and partial pallet as I have no tonsils but declined knowing if I do have sleep apnea, ...

aka Carol I am completely fed up now with this machine. The 1st month was perfect, slept thru night and awoke after say 8hrs sleep straight refreshed and energized. Now, I can't sleep with/without machine. It now 3am and I am so tired and frustrated I just feel like throwing in the towel. Don't give...

The machine I have now is a Remstar Auto with C-flex. It is exactly like the one I have in the pic. It's a rental but when I make the purchase, it will be the same only more compact. The humidifier is on the side. I know you said I have the right machine, I just feel a little confused about the whol...

Thank-you Jim, Just got back from RT to get info on card downloaded. Apparantly I fall asleep before the cpap reaches the right pressure. RT has now made the adjustments. I am also trying a new nasal mask. It's from Respironics confort series. The mask has blue gel. I would like to know how I'm doin...

Hello, I am new to cpap. This is roughly my 6th week of treatment. I have a Respironics cpap machine with heated humidifier along with fisher/paykel 407 nasal mask. My husband has noticed that for pasy 2 weeks I have started snoring again. Not to mention the frustration I feel about the bridge of no...

Is chatroom still open? I have been checking in now and then and there is never ne1 chatting. I am a newbie and miss the chat room as this is where I can relate to other members. Thank-you

Thank-you everyone for responding to my concerns and your encouragement. I know this is a lifelong treatment and I'm only a week into it. I will not stop using cpap just b'cause I haven't adjusted to treatment or the mask. I was to the respiratory therapist and showed her how I put on the "nasal" ma...

A.K.A (Carol) It's been a week today and I am already sick of having to use Cpap. I wake up an 1hr or 2 early, my back aches from the neck all the way down to tailbone, AND the bridge of my nose is still not healed from 1st few days of wearing nasal mask.I now use moleskin for protection. I once loo...
