Another vote for latex. We got one about a year ago. Paid about a thousand dollars for a king size online. It's three layers of foam of varied densities. You can get them split in the middle so each side can be a different firmness. If you go latex don't buy into the online hype promoting natural la...

No matter how much you trust your doc get a second opinion.

All my wife had was some fishnets and they worked OK but I had me some STRANGE dreams








Just kidding, I made do with panty hose last night and it worked great. Ahhh, the freedom to sleep almost the way I did pre-cpap!!!!

OK, I'm off in search of panty hose!

Well, it didn't do so well. The back of my head is sore, I got more leakage and AHI went from 1.1 to 1.5. Looks like I'll be modding one or both of my masks. I wonder if the XL nasal seal would help reduce leaks?

...and I tried it out briefly and it seems a LOT more comfy than the Breeze I was using. I'm looking forward to being able lie on by back again

Restasis drops didn't work for me. I had a cortisone shot for a bad ear infection and that worked for a day or two. Brewed some chinese herbs that were supposed to help the ear infection and they immediately cured the dry eye. I haven't found any supplements that work like the brewed herbs.

Looks like I'm getting a Headrest.
Thanks Rested Gal!

I've been having the same issue with the Breeze...they named that one aptly. Any tips for modding it?

Only for a week. I think I've been really lucky. PB Breeze mask has been just great. I'm getting a solid nine hours sleep/night.

I have the Auto with A-flex. My 90% pressure is 15.5 right now in auto mode and a-flex is set in the middle. I find it very easy to breathe with and my AHI is around 1.8 (85 w/o treatment).

Somewhere around 300mcg (1/3 milligram) has been shown to be the most effective dosage.

Thanks!

So thanks to this forum I've got my machine set to show data. It's only showing weekly and monthly averages and I'd like to see how I did the night before. Anyone know how I need to set the machine? BTW, my average AHI from the last few nights is 2.0. Just a little better than my untreated AHI of 85.

I was so sleep-deprived I was forgetting things and making mistakes at work. I was starting to shut down mentally. Today after 9.5 hours i feel a little floaty. Must be nap time. My sleep study showed an AHI of 85. Pressure of 14. I don't think my pressure was set high enough when I was using cpap. ...
