Hi everyone - I've not been back since March - that's how long it's taken me to get another sleep study set up, taken, and the results in. I can't believe it's taken me that long. I have not used my CPAP since mid-March. Now it's going to be like starting all over again. I told my PCP that I felt as...

I'm in Phoenix and I use ARET (I think that's it - or ART for Advanced Resp. Therapy). I'm in the process of being approved for yet another sleep study so will get a card if you are still interested.

Okay thank you for the tips.

My 'sleep' doctor is my PCP and he uses ART (Advanced Resp. Therapy) to do the sleep studies, etc.

I dump my reservoir every morning and wash it with original scent Dawn (what they told me to use) and warm water. I also wash my mask out every day. I think that may be too much?!

Ummm Who is Irena??? I don't even see a post by that person? *confused* OMG I did when I hit reply - LOL nothing like drumming up business in a forum?! TR - I will check into maybe getting another machine when I go back for the study in a few weeks. River Dave - I haven't a clue as to what my machin...

Well I fall into the 'nill' category LOL. I've had it less than a year but more than 60 days. It will be a year in July. I'm going back again cuz I feel like I am smoothering. Maybe if the sleep study place recommended to the doctor an autopap.... I'll have to ask the sleep study guy.

Does anyone know if you have a choice of machines with insurance? I specifically switched to BC/BS HMO to have the benifit of autodelivery of supplies every 3 weeks that I don't pay for plus they paid 100% for my machine. I don't know if the sleep study place recommends the machine or if it's the o...

Hi Mark - I am new here also but new to CPAP. I am having problems with mine now so not using it but it's great you got used to it so quickly! I am wondering if my BC/BS would pay for the autopap - propbably not. I am formerly from NJ and know exactly where Bayonne is! I am in AZ now for humm - almo...

I use the gel mask but am very interested in possibly switching to the nasal pillows. I'd like to be able to read with my CPAP on (of all things LOL) and I can't get my glasses on with the mask. I'm going for another sleep study soon so will ask about possibly switching masks. It looks to me like th...

LOL I had to laugh out loud at this one. It sounds exactly like my first sleep study. Only they did not get sufficient enough data to be able to recommend a CPAP the first time, just sufficient enough to recommend it the 2nd time. Apparently I didn't fall asleep long enough to be able to do the spli...

It took me awhile initially to get used to mine also. They told me to keep it on for as long as I could and then to take it off if I wanted. I think it took me about a week and a half to go to where I wasn't waking up to take it off. I still wake up but I don't take the CPAP off (well I wasn't when ...

Thank you all. I did call the sleep place today - and I have to call my doctor tomorrow to have him order a new sleep study (can I just say I HATE them with a passion?!). She said anything over 25 pounds either way could very well affect the pressure and 50 was a lot. I am never aware I have the PLM...

Hi - I am new here and have just a few questions if someone can help. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea/hypapnia and severe Periodic Limb Movement Disorder a year ago in July. I've been using my CPAP machine almost every night -sometimes on weekends I don't. I still wake up 2-3 times a night even wit...
