I am SO happy for you, DottyG!!! I've read some of your other posts, so I know what a struggle it's been for you even getting to this point. I'm a newbie too. I haven't started xPAP therapy yet (I'm ordering the equipment today!). I hope that I have similar pleasant results right from the start. Des...

Hello, I am in the process of deciding which regular CPAP machine (capable of full data reporting) and software I would prefer. I'd like to decide before meeting with my sleep doctor in a few days, so I need to wrap this up by tomorrow. (I'm going to ask him if he will prescribe an auto CPAP, but du...

Thank you all SO much for your assistance! There is a lot of information here to digest, and my mind isn't at its clearest right now -- brain fog. I'll try to make sense of it all within the next few days, before I meet with my sleep doctor on Wednesday. I still haven't decided which machine and sof...

Hello all, I am about to purchase my first CPAP machine. I definitely want one that has full data capability. I may be limited to a CPAP (vs. Auto CPAP) due to insurance constraints. In an earlier post, I asked for information so I could compare machine LCD information and software for the Respironi...

Hello, I am about to purchase my first CPAP machine, and I need some help choosing! I definitely want one that has full data capability. I will probably purchase the software/card reader later. I have narrowed down my choices to the Respironics M SERIES PRO or ResMed S8 ELITE II. I would like to do ...

What? People got coffeee? breakfast? a mask? Wow, I went to the wrong place! All I got was directions to the exit! Yes, and someone got a newspaper too! Don't feel bad, I didn't come home with a mask and didn't get breakfast, coffee or a newspaper either. I did leave with a slight headache and a dr...

Thanks to all for sharing your experiences. It looks like there's no set way this is handled at each sleep center. I'm hoping for a dreamy night's sleep at my first titration study tonight!

I was allowed to keep my Resmed Quattro, It was used I'm guessing once or maybe just fitted and then sterilized. I've been using it ever since. I was also given a new Quattro by the DME which I'm holding as a spare. Got a full breakfast & morning paper too Wow, you certainly lucked out all the way ...

The mask used on me at my titration was a cheapo, scaled-down, one-time-use mask that the tech let me keep. Since it was a full face, and I was going to use a nasal mask, I kept the cheapo as my backup mask for a while in case I needed it during a cold or something. Later, I got a REAL full-face ma...

While masks are disinfected and re-used where I had my sleep study, I have read a post here where the mask was given to the person. Some posted they got b'fast or at least coffee the next morning; I got zip...of course I was on cloud from the first restful sleep I'd had in nearly a decade so coffee...

Greetings, I'm hoping that someone can answer this newbie question.... I've had my initial overnight study and have been diagnosed with mild obstructive sleep apnea. I'm going in for the CPAP titration study tonight. Thanks to all you wonderful people here and the reviews and mask-fitting guidelines...
