Twilight NP!!! For me, I can't say enough good things about the mask. In my first year of APAP therapy I tried 4 masks - didn't like any of them (including the CL2) - and was almost resigned to the fact that sleeping was going to be uncomfortable for the remainder of my days. Then I tried the Twilig...

Perverse incentive systems
It's unfortunate that taking control of your own treatment is more expensive for the patient even as it is cheaper AND BETTER overall. So, continue to pursue with vigilence your effort to understand your own condition. I'll get to the mask thing in a second, but before that let me talk about machine...

Questioning validity of snore data
Last night I had insomnia - I woke up at 1:30 and stayed awake for the remainder of the night. But that's not the point of this post. The important part of the story is that I left the mask on until a little past 3 hoping to go back to sleep. When I looked at the data this morning, my AHI for the ti...

I tried it last night (another brand - Trident - but same kind of stuff) and it works great! Try your local dive shops, the first one I called had it for 5.95. I use the med. nasal pillows on the CL2 but think I'll be able to step up to the large for the better airflow. Before, the larges tended to ...

Tonight will be my first night. T-minus 2.5 hours. I'll have to see about the Ultra Mirage II - I'm a little worried. It came out #1 in cpap.com's nose fitting program, however the bridge of my nose is wide. I have trouble with sunglasses, etc. I have the mask fitted so I get no/little leaks, but I ...

APAP pressure settings
I'm sure this is a newbie question. Why don't I just want to set the APAP pressure to its full range of 4 - 20 and let the machine figure everything out? (my Rx doesn't have any pressures on it, it only dictates an auto-cpap machine) p.s. tonight will be my first night so I'm trying to figure out an...

My first night will be tonight. I am in the exact same situation - no second study, relying on the auto-titration to regulate pressure. So this will be my first experience with any kind of setup. Despite my trepidation at wearing the gear and my gloomy resignation to a lifetime of being attached to ...
