3 years in and regressing?!

Marking my third anniversary this month. Over that time I have noticed some incremental improvements but never to the degree that I see reflected in some of the forum posts. I am jealous but understant this is not an exact science and that they are multiple variables. Actually in the last six months...

Re: New to CPAP, having some serious issues, could use some help

First of all..welcome to this forum and know that you are not alone in having these experiences and that you WILL get thru this phase of your therapy. At the start of my therapy last June I had so much trouble that I thought I might even need a psychiatrist's help. My experiences mirrored yours re. ...

Seasonal Allergies and CPAP therapy

I have been on CPAP therapy since August 2008. I always suffered with severe Spring allergies. This is my first Spring (in the Northeast) while under CPAP therapy and I am already noticing a later onset than usual of any symptoms and what symptoms I am experiencing are much milder that in the past. ...

Re: Airport bag inspection by TSA

I have traveled with my CPAP equipment three times since August '08 and have never had it swabbed. I always treat it as a carry-on (doesn't count toward any limit) and when going thru security place it in its own "tub" with my DME provided letter explaining what it is on top. These trips have been b...

Re: Keeping a diary (log)?

I started on CPAP therapy in June 08 and kept a diary recording how everything from physical and emotional issues dealing with getting used to the therapy, how long it took to fall asleep and how I felt the next day. It was invaluable to explain my progress or lack thereof to my doctor at the first ...

Re: Edema w/CPAP Therapy

I was surprised to see this topic appear. I had missed it the first time around, but immediately resonated with it because my ankle edema has definately been more pronounced since starting CPAP therapy in August '08. At the same time, I have stopped the usual at least once a night trip to the bathro...

Re: Need some help on settings please

Izzyb,

Is that a beagle face by any chance on your picture icon? It sure looks like a face that I have often awakened to if I oversleep.

What software do I need to purchase

On Friday, I exchange my Remstar Plus M Series CPAP with Cflex and humidifier with a Remstar PRO M Series. My DME was unable to tell me what the appropriate compatible software was and what the basic requirements of my home PC are to ensure that I can load and program and download the data. Can anyo...

You can count on prayer from Queen, New York City also. We will dedicate tonight's choir rehearsal to your Mom's recovery. Those that sing, pray twice...!

Re: Clicking noise in mask

Are you having any condensation issues in your hose? I am also using nasal pillows and have had some interesting sounds from the pillows. They have always been associated with "rainout" and have vanished once I empty the hose.
