Re: Pillows?

Re: Lunesta / Zopiclone + CPAP = No REM sleep?

I think that's an unnecessarily scarey response to his note and he'd be better off talking to his MD. Your pulse dropping (from where to what?) may have little bearing on things.

Re: Is my machine broken?

Looks like you might have had a dream or ? in the break(s)... why assume it's broken seeing as it continued after the break?

Re: used aircurve 10 smells like cigarette smoke

Maybe just return it - there are lots of others out there and smoke is known to be hard to get rid of (and I smoke).

Re: Gasping for air, but no events flagged

Not trying to be funny, just passing on a little info if you never considered it... I am somewhat allergic to my cat, but won't let him go, so while most time is ok, I do get occasional problems when sleeping. I've chosen to not let it matter most of the time, but being aware that it's a factor at t...

Re: Silk pillowcase for cpap pillow

Well if you know the dimensions of the (rectangular) pillow, do you really need a pattern? Just leave room for hemming edges.

Re: Does actual benefit matter in Medicare CPAP compliance?

If you start lying now, you're setting yourself up for worse things later - more mix ups, etc. If there is a problem now, work through it with the doctor, techs, etc. but don't lie regardless... there are better ways to address stuff.

Re: Need Advice if possible I have been in pain since Oct 22

Don't know how helpful this is, but can you separate the whole Cpap/OSA business for a minute from your symptoms and maybe see them as (co)incidental FWIW and see either your own MD or another new one just in case something else is going on? People get tied up in Cpap/OSA and forget there might be o...

Re: If CPAP won't work for you at all...

Just to be annoying - you could even just be e.g. allergic to your cat... or something. It happens.
