Hello all ~ I read here about people trying different masks until they find one that works for them. Where does one go to do this? Do you have to buy each mask you try until you find the one that works. I use the Mirage Quatro full face mask. It was tolerable at first (have had it since maybe March)...

I had the same problem ~ used an eye mask before, but the one I had was too thick to use with my c-pap mask (Mirage Quatro full face mask). I also was not able to find anything I could order. I have made my own. I bought at Walmart a package of the stretch knit hairbands and I used them to make an e...

Hello all, I have a question about dreams. I was thinking that if you dream when you are asleep that this is because you have slept well enough to have gotten to the phase of sleep where you dream. Maybe I am not understanding things correctly. Anyway, if you have dreams but they are really weird, u...

Hello all, Haven't been here in a while. Still hanging in there, still wishing I could feel rested and wonderful like some here have told about. I am 6 months into this and have yet to feel that way. Restless leg medication has been added and changes in some of my other medications. I feel frustrate...

I don't think the lady meant to cause me pain. In the office ~ it didn't seem painful how she had it adjusted. It wasn't until that night when I went to bed that I could feel how uncomfortable it was.

Hi David, That suggestion sounds like it might be the cause. The first month I was on the machine, I didn't have pain like that. Then I went back for my follow up visit and the lady looked at my info and found that I was having air leaks. So, she tightened my mask. The lower strap at the back of my ...

Lee Lee ~ what kind of pillow did you get that helped you? I'm open to suggestions and trying what ever to help make it work.

Thank you

Hi, Does anyone have problems with pain in their neck. I wake up in the mornings and have pain in my neck, and on my back across my shoulders. I didn't used to have this before using the c-pap, and didn't have it at first, but the last week or so, have been having trouble with that. Nothing else is ...

I went for my first follow up visit last week. Have been using the c-pap since the begining of Jan. When my sleep lady read the information my machine had recorded, it showed that I had a lot of air leaks. The only time I felt any was when I layed on my back ~ mostly I sleep on my sides. The rest of...

Well, I had my first follow up appointment since begining to use the c-pap in January. I had been compliant with using it. I was found to have had a lot of air leaks. She also said that I was not having as long of periods of uninterupted sleep as she would like to see. The lady made adjustments to t...

Yes, I have a red mark on the bridge of my nose and that area is tender ~ like all the time now. There are red marks kind of on my cheeks but those go away after a while. I get the squeeking sounds with air leaks, when I lay on my back. I thought I would get that when I layed on my sides, but actual...

Thank you for your answers. Not to be disagreeing with you, I just wanted to explain. I am thinking that the feeling sleepy in the day time is only partly to do with how well I rested the night before and partly a shift worker issue. Some night shift workers keep the same waking/sleeping schedule on...

Does the c-pap know if you are asleep or awake while you are using it. I am feeling frustrated this morning/afternoon. I am a night shift worker, and was trying to take my before work nap. Got my mask all strapped on, and then just layed there and layed there. I may have dozed off briefly a few time...

What information is recorded by my c-pap machine while I sleep? Just wondered.

Hello, I think last night (my 3rd night) went a little better. I don't remember feeling as though I woke up as many times as the first two nights. Satruday night, there was some moisture in the face mask in the morning, and I kept feeling like there was water on my face. Sunday night, I turned the h...
