Re: Feeling like I should be doing better...

Echo, Yeah, it has been a long road. But to be honest, since the pillow change and the switch to APAP things have been much better. Not anywhere near the fatigue I've had in the past and I've had some bad nights but if my numbers weren't so level I'd be a little more worried. My main complaints righ...

Re: Feeling like I should be doing better...

Julie, I'll give that a shot tonight too. I wondered if that would matter as well. I had it set for 20 right from the start because I wasn't sure how high it would go. I suppose after the first couple months after seeing the average where it was I could have set it lower. Probably just never thought...

Re: Feeling like I should be doing better...

I have it set for 9-20. I do get the graphs, but like I said, I can't export that data for some reason. Even tried to cut and paste it but it wouldn't let me do that either. I made the switch because my prescribed pressure was for 9 but after a couple weeks I felt like I was going backwards again. I...

Feeling like I should be doing better...

Been on CPAP for coming up on a year. Made the switch to APAP back in April and got a different pillow and saw some improvement. Still dealing with bad dry mouth some mornings and not feeling as good as I hoped. I can't export my data but I wrote down my numbers from the last month. Can anyone tell ...

Re: Can you interview DME's

What I don't fully understand is why the DME's equipment costs so much more than it does at CPAP.com. Is it just because they can charge the insurance companies the huge fees? I don't have insurance and when my DME quoted a machine and mask to me I just about had a heart attack. I was lucky enough t...

Re: Is there anyone like me here??

Carbonman, I used to ride RAGBRAI, not sure if you know what that is. I would usually only do about half the day before I'd put the bike on the bus and go to the overnight though. I ride a recumbent most of the time, I guess it's because it's a lot like my recliner. This time of year is a little rou...

Re: Is there anyone like me here??

I agree with you all. It took me 22 years to get to the place I am today. And I know it won't be fixed overnight, just getting a little nervous that nothing will change. I also wonder how I'll know that what I feel or percieve is where I should be. I used to think I slept ok and I thought what I con...

Re: Is there anyone like me here??

Monday in the Chat room I talked with Jeeper, Airhead, and Tom, sorry I can't remember your last name Tom. They all gave me good advice like what I'm getting from all of you. They said I should pump up the pressure half a click and try it for a week as well as turn off the C-Flex. I tried both and i...

Is there anyone like me here??

I’m going to try and make this as brief as I can but I have been known to be long winded so I apologize in advance. There is a question or questions at the end though. I’ll be 40 years old in a couple weeks and as best as I can tell I’ve had sleep apnea since I was at least 17 years old. I say that ...
