My untreated AHI rate on my back was 72. Be happy with <5.

yes, yes, yes! It's funny...i'm about 2 weeks on the hose and have only slept through the night with it once. Most nights I have it on about 3 hours before I wake up and rip it off. So when people ask me how it's going I say "well...I'm still getting used to it...I don't know if it's having any effe...

Yeah! I'm doing without the ramp now. I have the c-flex turned off. And the co2 problem seems all but gone, but the extra pressure is causing some weirdness. I'll try a c-flex of "1" tonight and see if it's a happy medium.

Thank you very much for the reply! I like this mask so much in every other way, would be a pain to try another one.

The problem is with the mask on I'm always either breathing in or out, and often I'm breathing in what ...

I am brand new to CPAP, I've had mine for less than a week. There is something that I experienced a bit during my sleep lab and that I am very much experiencing now. That is, the feeling that I am breathing back in what I just breathed out. Maybe it is an illusion, but I tend to breathe without much...

At work...it's very easy. There are a ton of hoseheads and spouses of hoseheads, and none of them are the slightest bit shy about talking about it. Most of the spouses had a hard time convincing their SO's to actually get it taken care of, so they are happy to see other people taking it seriously. I...
