Hi, I bought Encore Pro about a year and a half ago when I first went on CPAP. I have version 1.4.91. Works great with my RemstarPro machine. However, my wife just went on CPAP and got a RemstarPro M Series machine - it appears the data written to the card is incompatible with my version of the soft...

Email the cpap.com people - when I did the sizing guide, it told me that it wasn't recommended for me, either. When I contacted them they stated that the sizing guide has some issues, and they were able to figure out the right size mask.
I've been using that one ever since.

How silly this has all become. Severe, Moderate, Light, or non-OSA-sufferer or not, Lori DID use nightly CPAP therapy for months. So, her advice on living with CPAP therapy is valid. She had to deal with the masks and hoses and machines and mask-marks. As someone new to CPAP (started in October 2005...

I've been using the Johnson & Johnson "Baby body wash". Seems to do a decent job and is quite mild, with only a very light odor.

Hehe, those are pretty good.

Masks are specifically designed to do that, to make "white noise" like that to help you sleep. Ok, well, we can keep telling ourselves that, anyway... I've used 3 masks total - all make noise to some degree. They have to vent air to keep what you're breathing "fresh" apparently. Of the ones I've tri...

For the two studies I've had, I was told that it could take 4 weeks before I'd get the results mailed to me. Both times, my doctor received the results only a few days after the test (2 days after the first study, and 4 days after the second one). I was also able to go to my health center to the med...

My wife has chuckled at me at few times since getting the mask/hose, but not in a hurtful way. She knows I need it and encourages me to keep with the therapy.

And she nicknamed my mask/hose/machine for me.

"Snuffy".

LOL!

237. Dropped 2lbs.

Now if I can only grow about 4 feet taller, I think I'd be at ideal weight!

I'm so full of energy now under CPAP therapy that I thought I'd write up my story. Now that I know I have sleep apnea, it's been interesting for me to look back and see how it affected me, and how I blamed my symptoms on other things. I've never considered myself to be a very good sleeper - always s...

Definitely keep trying! As another poster suggested, read, read, and read some more on these forums. Read the humorous posts, read the serious ones. We're all in the same boat here. Certainly try one of the nasal pillow systems like the Swift - with that one, you'll be able to scratch your nose if i...

After bragging yesterday about how I am sleeping better, I woke up at 1 and was up until 3 am. Back up at 5:30 for work. For some reason, everything bothered me last night. The headgear hurt, the pillows bothered me, felt like I couldn't breathe, kept checking for leaks, etc., etc. Don't know what ...

As others have said, the benefits greatly outweigh the embarrassment. I know if the situation were reversed and my wife had apnea and needed CPAP, I'd not only support her and accept it, I'd be selfish and insist she use it so that she'd be around longer to be with me. It can take some time to get u...

What makes me wonder is if the people who HAVE Alzheimers today could have been PREVENTED from having this if they had been on CPAP. Think I'll definitely be using my machine tonight!!!!!!! Wouldn't it be something if it were discovered that a major contributor to Alzheimer's was untreated sleep ap...
