Three months and fine tuning is working!
The 9th of April was 3 months of 100% compliance. Two weeks ago, I bought a Comfort2 Full Face Mask on the auction and I have to tell you, it has made all the difference in the world! I bought it at a discounted rate just to have on hand in case of a cold or flu, but after trying it, I plan to use i...

Re: Settling in for a week, but it is not easy!
I had the same problem with my AHI going up. I found out it was associated with my mouth not being open wide but actually just blowing open a little bit at higher pressures. When my machine would increase from 10-12, my lips would come open just enough to release a little of the pressure. This cause...

I recommed the Sleep Number 5000. I use to have a water bed and could not sleep on any regular mattresses. We purchased the sleep number bed about 8 months ago and then I found out about the apnea about 2 months ago. Sleep number at 35 on my side of the bed and 55 for my wife along with CPAP has led...

It sounds like it may have gotten water in the machine. Are you using a humidifer with this unit? If so, it may be leaking into the machine. I have noticed my humidifer seal has a tendency to roll and not seal occasionally. I noticed it one time right after I turned my machine on and was able to cat...

Dark Green Therapy Flags in Encore Viewer Software
I notice that some of the therapy flag marks on the report are darker color than others on the report. What is the significance of the lighter versus darker color? Also, I had been doing really well for 2 months with my AHI down between .9 - 1.9 most days. However, the last three days my AHI has ris...

Are you being treated for the restless leg syndrome? If not, you might do a search for treatments and see wht you think would be most effective. Other than that, many people on here have tried at least a dozen masks before hitting the right fit. Everyone is a little different. I have tried four mask...

I have had mixed results from folks I have shared my diagnosis with. The people who know me best however have seen a positive difference in my attitude and my level of energy and are happy for me. In fact several of my friends are now considering sleep studies after hearing my symptoms and determini...

Have you had a sleep study? Did they find any restless leg syndrome or any other reason that you might not sleep soundly? How bad was your apnea to begin with? Have you tried different pressures and such or are you on the same pressure as the beginning? More information might help the form to give y...

APAP is an auto cpap machine. I set a range of pressures on it such as 9-13 cm. Therefore, the machine starts out at 9 and stays there unless I need more pressure to attack the apneas. I usually spend most of the night at 9cm with some time at 10 and an occcasionaly 11cm. It also can be set in regul...

I have been on APAP since Jan. 9. The first week was tough getting use to all of it, but now there is not a problem. My symptoms are getting less and less each day and I enjoy the sleep I have been getting especially the last couple of weeks. However, last night was not a good one - not sure why but...

Life is to short to get hung up over a joke or two! Just be thankful you are getting help and that this therapy prob...
