I happened across this after doing a search on back pain. I hope this is germane to the discussion. I've been using a CPAP for about 2 years now and the pain is driving me crazy. I had some back pain after using the cpap for about 3 months. I attributed that to being able to sleep on my back, someth...

The number of dreams I have has remained steady if not slightly increased. I've always had many dreams per night, I probably realize I'm dreaming because I wake many times throughout the night. I'm waking less often now, since being on CPAP for the last 5 months. I even have dreams my alarms snooze ...

I started with a humidifier from the beginning and didn't like it due to rain out problems so I just left the heater off and used it like a passive humidifier and it worked pretty well. Now I set mine at a 1 and I haven't had much rain out problems. I don't have any problems exhaling with the himdif...

I have a Remstar Pro 2 and I lowered my pressure from 9 to 8.5 a couple of days ago. I've been sleeping better so I wanted to look at the reports from Encore Pro and MyEncore to see how my events compare to the previous pressure. When I run the detailed report in Encore Pro it still shows the pressu...

I've been using a cpap for about a month now and I've always been a nose breather so I haven't had any problems with mouth leakage. In fact if my nose is plugged I can't sleep at all as breathing through my mouth will keep me awake all night. But I have a funny story about mouth leakage, well funny ...

Aswab, I would call my doctor and see if he can get you a APAP that can record your events so he can have the data available for your next appointment. Sounds ironic for me to recommend this since my doctor recommended it for me and I haven't decided if I am going to do it or not, but I don't believ...

First of all, don't simply chase numbers. I'm not saying that you're doing this, but some people tend to base EVERYTHING on charts and graphs. I agree, I’ve been deliberately slow to change settings until I’ve collected enough data to support changing. I was at 7 for the first couple of weeks then ...

First a little background. I've been feeling tired for years, tried treatment for CFS about 5 years ago that included sleeping pills, vitamins, and all kinds of pricey supplements. I felt a little bitter and a lot poorer. Then my wife got a job as a sleep tech around March of last year. She only kep...

You can get details like apneas, hypopneas, snore events, and leaks. Save yourself some money and order the card from 2factors.com and download the software for free from Respironics website. You should also get MyEncore. Do a search for "myencore and 2factors and encorepro" and you will find a grea...

Bob_123, Keep us updated on what you find out. Your problems sound a lot like what I'm experiencing. I can't sleep unless I can breath through my nose, but there's always some blockage. I've been using Naxonex for a couple of months and started sinus irrigation a couple of days ago but they haven't ...

That sounds like my sleep pattern when there's a full moon. Even with the room dark I can tell when there is a full moon by my wakefullness. Anybody out there know how to explain this? I've heard that those who work in ers have more activity on those nights. Ditto for psych wards and police. Any tr...

No need to be so hard on the DME really - a good reason one needs to take full responsibility and control for one's own therapy though. I tend to agree with that thought except for the fact that they try to keep us from having the tools and/or knowledge to take responsibility, and the fact that the...

I hope you guys are right. Before I got my CPAP I still had enough energy to start these projects... maybe now I'll get some energy to finish a few of them.
