Re: Am ready to jump out of my skin!!
Thanks John! Your advice seems most helpful...so, I can just go online and try another mask? I did not know that was possible. I thought I had to stay at the resp. place I have been dealing with! Can you rec. a good website to try? As far as everyone else....no, I do not know how to post my reports....

Am ready to jump out of my skin!!
Ok...here I go again! My doctor just switched my pressures again. When I had my sleep study, they titrated me at 18/14 for pressures. I tried it, and went crazy, so he switched me to 14/12. well, that did nothing! I was more tired than ever. So, now I am back up to 18/14 and ready to cry. It feels l...

So, So tired!!
Ok..here I go again. I went back to my dr and he gave me a new prescription to raise my numbers on the machine back to what I was prescribed for in the beginning...now I will be 18/14 (does this make sense?) He said that after a few weeks on this setting, if I am no better, I may need to go back to ...

Hi Muse-Inc
No, I dont seem to have any leaks...I fix the mask pretty good before I go to sleep. My husband wakes me up if the mask leaks.

I have been on sleep therapy for awhile now (over 8 months) and in the beginning I was having fit problems with my mask and leaks. Also, the Dr had my machine set way too high and I constantly felt like I was gasping for air. Once he adjusted things, I slept much better until recently. I usually go ...

Re: New cpap user needs massive help...PLEASE!
Hi to all that responded...I followed Joy's advice and added all my equipment to my profile now..I hope I did it all right! I also went to my equipment place today and they fitted me with a nasal only mask with a chin strap to keep my mouth closed while sleeping. I am a mouth breather, but since I a...

New cpap user needs massive help...PLEASE!
I have been using a CPAP machine by Respironics with a full mask (I am a mouth breather) for almost a month now. I am more tired than before! I seem to be having problems with the mask leaking and moving around. I keep losing my breath and gasping for air all through the night. There is a humidifier...
