Hi all, can you tell me how effective this has been for you? I have been considering this for a while. Is it worth my while to order the sample pack (29.00 dollars) for my first purchase?

Well I am home and the discomfort is not too bad. I am having trouble with some nauseum. And I think I am having some excess drainage. I the the nauseum is from the drainage going to my stomach. Any ideas for that I would appreciate.

Over all I don't feel too bad.

Thanks for your words of wisdom and support, I am feeling more confident about everything.

As soon as I can I will let you all know how it went.

Thanks again,
Mary

Hi all,
Tomorrow I am going to get my deviated septum corrected and I am a little be scared.

Any words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated.

KUDOS to you and your one year anniversary. I am coming up to my 2 months and I am still struggling, but seeing this gives me hope and encouragement. So thank you so much for sharing this milestone. And I wholeheartedly agree, if it were not for the genuine help and guidance from the good folks in t...

Uncle Bob you have been very helpful, but I have a couple of more questions.

How long did you have your cpap machine before you had your surgery and did you struggle to keep your mask on all night?
and
Are you having an easier time now, since your passage way has been straightened and cleared?

So on my first night i slept over 4 hours with my Quatrro on, I slept elevated by a stack on pillows even though my nose was not bleeding much. I really enjoyed the warm air (humidifier set to 4 & repti cable for heat) and i think that helped so much comfort wise. Here you state that you use your Q...

Benedryl has no effect on me. So I don't take it. I have had so many sinus and allergy problems, I guess I have rendered it useless. I guess I will get the Melatonin 1 mag and try 1 tonight, if that doesn't work 2 tomorrow and so on. I did not take any sleep aid last night and I ended up not sleepin...

How effective is the Melatonin, and would a doctor recommend it over takeing a sleeping pill?

dryness is common from mouth breathing with a nose only mask, do you have this type of mask? if not you need to increase your humidifier I have my humidifier set at 2. Any higher than that I wake up with a horrible sinus headache located at my forehead . That was my trial and error and learned that...

I have had my cpap machine for over a month. I fell like I have won some and lost some. I am back to sleeping about 2 1/2 to 3 hours at a time. So I wake up between 2 and 4 times a night. 1. I use a mouthwash for dry mouth 2. I use a nasal rinse to clear my sinuses 3. I started using Badger Sleep Ba...

What has helped me out tremendously with my dry mouth issue, was to by a mouth wash for dry mouth. There are several different brands, like Oasis made by Sensedyn and Biotene. They really work. As a mouth breather myself, my worst case was I woke up and the inside of my cheeks were pasted to my teet...

First, I say ditto to what's already been said. Also, for the 1st few minutes after I mask up, I know there will be sinus drainage and coughing so I plan on dealing with that. If I had dozed off then woke up with a coughing fit, that would distress me too. I did that A LOT before cpap and realized ...

I got my results back today and found out I was diagnosed as severe. My shortest time of not breathing was 26 seconds and the longest was 69 seconds, with 91 occurrences per hour. He strongly suggested that I get the surgery because I am mostly blocked and partially blocked on the left side. I have ...

Thanks Falcon1, To heed your advise, I guess surgery is inevitable for my deviated septum. I have read about the surgery and it sounds that it is not has bad as sinus surgery. As far as the Benadryl, I have been on an antibiotic and before that my ENT perscribed XYZAL for my congestion. I do not wan...
