I'm quite new to cpap therapy... I really enjoyed reading your post. Welcome to the forum

Hahahaha

Does anyone know if you get a carry bag when you get a Quattro FF mask from the DME? I got one a week ago, and they just put it in a plastic bag. My Swift Lgt. Pillow mask came with a little carry bag, so I thought maybe all masks came with one. Thanks, Larry Mine came with a cloth drawstring bag.

Just curious as to when you guys noticed a difference after starting your therapy. How long before you started getting your energy back and such? I could tell a difference right away. But, ever since I had this respiratory virus it seems I can't even tell that I have been using my CPAP machine really

Hi everyone. Looks like there is a lot of info here. At the moment I am a bit overwhelmed . Last night was my second night w/CPAP. Feel like I am struggling a little although last night was much, much better than the first night. Just went looking for a support group b/c I think I would feel better...

Just a little update. My doctor saw me right away. Turns out I had a virus which he mentioned had been going around. He gave me an RX, and told me to get some mucinex and nasal saline and I should recover in a few weeks. Good to know He recommended to keep using cpap

This is actually the best way to describe it.. The sensation is like you're breathing as deep as you can but it's never a satisfying breath and only occasionally will you be able to take a deep breath that is satisfying Now that you've described it, I seem to recall something along those lines when...

Can you describe your breathing problem during the day? Stuffy nose? Difficulty taking a deep breath? I have difficulty taking deep breaths. Eventually I am able to, but it can take awhile. Other than that, that's all I'm experiencing. This is actually the best way to describe it.. The sensation is...

I have difficulty taking deep breaths. Eventually I am able to, but it can take awhile. Other than that, that's all I'm experiencing.

I mentioned in an earlier post that I have been having breathing difficulties during the day. It didn't start until after starting CPAP therapy. Last night was the worse it has been so far. I even started with using EPR on the machine. I tried using my machine last night but ended up having to take...

Welcome, Melissa! Gracious, what a time to be doing a sleep study -- New Year's Eve! Almost as good as getting ready for a colonoscopy on 2 January, which is what I did. I've just passed my three-month mark with my BiPap, and almost 4 months since my first post. Ironically, I came here looking for ...

Thanks, good luck!

Welcome, too! The daytime breathing difficulty you mention seems odd. I did not experience that, nor do I recall other newbies mentioning that. Anyway, I would encourage you to continue to use your system...you will get more familiar and comfortable with it in time. How do you like the Quattro mask...

Hello all! I was recently diagnosed with sleep apnea which I initially thought was due to my thyroid. I had my first sleep study done New Years eve and then I had my titration study done in January.
