Anyone using Provigil or Nuvigil?

Hello all, I've been on xPAP for about 3 weeks now and I am not really feeling noticeably less tired. My sleep doc has written me a prescription for Nuvigil and given me a 7 pill sample as well.

Re: ResMed Autoset Spirit II Battery Cable

Welcome Gambian3, There is a ton of knowledge here so you are in the right place. If I don't have it right, I'm sure some one with more experience will be along to correct me. I'd try contacting our host CPAP.COM. I know that they have the proper cable for the Resmed S8 machine. The same cable might...

Re: Restful sleep. WOW (Update)

Got the call on Monday informing me that I qualified to be put on a xPAP machine and was informed to visit the people here on post who would make that happen.

No nasal style masks will fit me?

Hello all, My CPAP therapy is off to a bit of a rough start. I tried to use the Mirage Micro mask. After two nights the bridge of my nose was swollen, tender, red, and breaking out.

Re: New guy w/ questions & Dr. refused APAP - CPAP Only

Hello again, Thank you all for the input. I kept calling local DMEs until I found one who only carried the S8 AutoSet II CPAP Machine and accepted my insurance.
