Re: ugh. migraines/cpap compliance.

1 - not a new user - my sig shows this.
2 - already using a nasal pillow - my sig shows this too.
3 - not a panic attack. i KNOW what a panic attack is.
4 - happens with all migraines. sometimes i know what the trigger is.

ugh. migraines/cpap compliance.

when i start to get migraine symptoms i get an odd sort of claustrophobia that makes it utterly impossible to wear my mask. (although oddly wearing a sleep mask over my eyes is fine.) any ideas how i might get around this?

cpap is deceptively scary looking. although once you get past that it's much easier to use.

what about you? posting accusations about a member without identifying yourself. rather cowardly, don't you think?
