My biggest problem is simply getting to sleep. I often go to sleep at 1 or 2 in the morning and get up at 6 or 6:30. I usually take an Ambien each night to help me sleep, but I still struggle to get to sleep. I also take allergy medicine (drops, which are like getting shots) and Vrapimil for migrain...

This is my first time using Sleepyhead and I believe I set everything up correctly. I feel exhausted every day and never feel rested. Everything in the software looks like I am doing well. The only real problem I can see is that I don't get enough sleep. I usually wear my mask the entire time I slee...

I was first diagnosed with CPAP about 3 years ago. I received a CPAP machine, went through about 4 different masks and never felt better or different. My CPAP machine is: REMstar Pro M (IIRC) I decided to go a different sleep doctor as I was not happy with the first one or her office (unprofessional...

I cannot thank you enough for helping me out. I worked with a guy that felt a difference in a day or two and after 3 or so months, it is better, but not by much. I figured my leak rate would be awful as I used to take my other mask off all the time. I hope all of this makes a difference. Thanks agai...

Here are the settings for my machine and numbers: 90% (cmH2O): 7 day average = 8.8 30 day average: 8.1 System Leak: 7 day = 30.4 30 day = 28.4 APN-Hyp Index: 7 day = AHI 5.6 30 day = AHI 5.1 I changed the setting (Auto) from a minimum of 4 to a minimum of 6. There is also an "Autoramp" that I change...

I sent it the 2nd time, sorry about that.

Thanks. I am new to all of this, so I am learning. My doctor gave me my 2nd mask for free after the first did not work. I will be calling them about changing masks again this week. I was looking through my paperwork and I may have instructions for my machine. I will look for those settings you menti...

WHat is DME?

Dori, Thanks again for the help. I am learning as I go.
I was not given all of that information, but I should probably get it.

I will check today.

Thanks

I just noticed your apap is set to 4-12cms. Most people can't breathe with such a low pressure. Did you have a sleep study? Do you have a copy of the results? What was your titrated pressure? I'd also suggest you register, fill in your equipment info on User Control Panel, Profile, Edit Equipment. ...

i did have a sleep study and they actually set it for me.
When you say the pressure is too low, are you saying that it is not enough pressure?
I am just starting witrh this cpap stuff and it does nto seem to be helping me much at all.

Thanks. I do like the look of that one.

I tried to find one on cpapauction.com, but did not have much luck.

Thanks for letting me know about the insurance. I did not know about it and was worried about buying a mask that I would be stuck with.

I have been using CPAP for a couple of months now and do not feel much better. I know it is working, because I have slept without my mask and have felt much worse the next day than I normally do. I have two questions that I am hoping the experts here can help me with. 1. I think my problem is that I...

Thanks everyone. I am going to get a new mask and wanted to know if it was going to be a problem or not.
