Re: I am having day surgery next month, any advice?

I just had Acl/mcl/meniscus surgery and they told me to bring it. I dont think they used it, but they wanted it there just in case. So, make sure you are using it all the time in the weeks before surgery, and then bring it with you. Give it to the nurse during the pre-op stuff, they will probably ch...

Re: Waking up soaked in sweat?

Hi, i had the same exact crazy night sweats--woke up literally SOAKED--sheets, night clothing, whole nine yards. I was diabetic at the time--and am almost totally not diabetic anymore (but this change happened slowly and the night sweats went away fast so I tend to think it was the Obstructive Sleep...

Re: What do you do with your mask in the morning?

I take it off and toss it over the machine b/c Im usually late to class! (traffic in nyc...killer). It often falls and I end up retrieving it from the tangles of cellphone etc. charger wires on my floor or under my bed. I didnt think of bugs, ew. Maybe Ill at least put a new/clean stocking over it. ...

Re: weird welt reaction to full face mask--help!

I dont know what AHI is, i have to look it up...(nor what it stands for) lol. I dont have any reader or software, so probably not. It is (I believe--Ill have to check at home tonight) a respironics full face mask. I use the respironics nasal one usually, and I think it is the same brand. I think it ...

love the cpap pillow

i dont know if anyone else uses it, but I tried the cpap pillow, it was weird at first (and I think I use it backwards) but it is great! It has space for the mask, and I really find it is better than a regular pillow b/c it doesnt shift or move the mast (im a side sleeper).

weird welt reaction to full face mask--help!

I usually use the nasal only respironics mask, it works well, but I wonder if I have mouth leakage. Also when Im sick, I become a mouth breather--so I thought Id try a full face mask. Often when I wake, I have those marks from the pressure on my nose area--but no biggie, it is just a mark and goes a...
