I loved it! I slept so much better since I wasn't having to concentrate on keeping my mouth shut. I woke up Sunday morning (first night with it wasn't the best but the second...WOW) feeling like a new person! Thanks for the encouraging words.... As for the hubby...we had a long talk about it. Now ti...

My chinstrap has arrived. Someone could have warned me it looks like a jock strap .

My RT that works with the DME is so great. She is very involved in each of her patients care. She came to my work to show me how to use the chinstrap.

Here's hoping it helps!

Yike, Elbysmom. What is encouraging here to you? This is all pretty distressing news to me, and I just don't get it.

I am very excited. I actually had my hose over my headboard and I am wondering if turning at night might have...

However, I think that it isn't all about attitude. Sometimes, just sometimes, no matter how good your attitude is you are still...

I have filled out my profile earlier. Maybe it takes a while to show up. A full face mask makes me clausterphobic. They tried it on my for my sleep study. Drove me crazy. Someone (on another forum) mentioned that the hybrid might be a good mask for me. I have an appointment with the RT tomorrow and ...
