Swordz - Ever try the amino acid GABA at bedtime??

I do better with nasal pillows or nasal mask, but HAVE to tape mouth shut. I have tried every tape available as well as Tegederm. My problem is the "tape rash". I am very careful to never "pull" tape, but use water to remove so doesn't pull on skin. Still I have "not a rash like allergic to tape" bu...

I like the Swift nasal pillows and the new ComfortLite 2 has great nasal pillows also

Another opinion, probably not well received, is that I think some Drs need to prescribe new CPAP patients a mild antianxiety or sleep medication for the first week or two of adjusting to CPAP - it can be incredibly stressful in the beginning.

Last night was night 17 and I FINALLY have slept for the past 2 nights. Have gotten so much more exhausted than I was before CPAP, I was wishing I never started it. If it weren't for Rested Gal helping me individually with pressure settings, etc., I don't think I'd have gotten through the past 2 wee...

Thank you for the great idea folks. With Tegaderm, I work my tongue all around lips (in am when time to remove) then keep working with tongue until I have most of Tegederm loose - I just got crazy several ams ago and "gently" pulled small bit of Tegederm off - left nasty line of "tape rash" which ev...

Any great ideas on how to keep mouth sealed after tape and Tegaderm have left skin too tender - and I NEVER pull tape or Tegaderm off - use water or tongue or Rosehip Seed Oil

Rooster - I wasn't making fun of your magnet idea and they really do help for pain - much research behind them. I just wasn't thinking of them in terms of opposites on each side of airway. Right now tonight, just short of 2 weeks into treatment, I feel like crap, my face is all goobered up from figh...

Beat me with a stick - I just pulled humidifier manual and it tells how to do this - just overlooked it in my hurry to get my unit set up initially

OOPS!!!

I have Remstar Auto with CFlex and integrated humidifier. Is there a way to adjust my humidifier - the only button I am familiar with is the humidifier on button.

Anyone out there can help???

RhinNC - Last night was night 7 on APAP and I am EXHAUSTED. Maybe tireder than before APAP - BUT the two nights I have slept well, I really could see a difference and know it will make a difference so I, like you, will stick this thing out for the long haul.......... I have a Mirage full face mask a...

I have studied magnets extensively and used them for back and neck pain following broken vertebrae in both. I also use a large ceramic one on the negative side to hold against my temple if I get a headache that is not flu related. Magnets definitely have their place as a natural healing therapy, but...

I see you already have the smart card reader and surely the software - sorry I didn't look at picts at bottom of post. You also have the same machine I have which has CFlex feature also. I've not got my own pressures, etc. figured out yet (today is day #7 for me) but I can help you reset pressures o...

My APAP Rx was for 4-20 and that seemed reasonable, particularly since I had no sleep study. BUT when I first tried the mask, I would have SERIOUS blowouts all through the night. Rested Gal and I tossed this back and forth and she allowed me to realize that, while 4 was a comforatable setting for me...

Help - I am currently on oxygen 5L hooked into APAP, which I started a week ago this Tuesday. Dr. is hoping APAP may delete need for 02 eventually, but all I can do is use my Nonin pulse ox to set concentrator at bedtime after mask on and then check it again when I first take the mask off in am. Rat...
