I have been complaining about this for years and still to this day even with the Bipap I still stop breathing completly! Miserable, angry and tired. 33 and feel like crap!

Moogy, What is provigile? Yes the machine is wonderful. The 10 year fight to use one is now over. My little boy keeps asking. "Daddy what that for, what that for?" I laugh and just tell him it helps daddy sleep. I hope that others who are having troubles can get the help and the equipment they need.

It's been about 2 months or so and now I have my Resperonics Bi-PAP-Auto. My pressure setting as prescribed from my doctor is 17/11. I have used it for 4 nigts and a short nap. Total of 33.8 hours on it. I went from not being able to tolerate a CPAP from 10 years ago to falling asleep in about 20 mi...

It's 1:30 pm. I had to stay home a little today before going to work so I could get some good quality (but crappy) sleep. Sorry this is very long but here was my experience from last night. At first the Tech was trying to muster over some issues that I had brought to her attention. She was telling m...

YardBird Thanks,. . . . ..I'm only 31 but I have learned alot.

Finally my new test is coming up Wednesday evening. They are going to do a split night. I'll I can do is pray that I will fall asleep and hope that the tech will work with me and understand some of my problems. Wish me luck!

My study should be within in the next 2 weeks. He did talk about the Auto-Bi-Pap. Moogy thanks a bunch! I'll keep you posted!

Well I saw the doc today. It has been so long he dosen't remeber me or any of my history. I talked to him for about 1/2 hour. He seemed very understanding and told me I needed another sleep study since it has been so long. We are going to do a split night 1/2 without the machine to find out the seve...

Moogy, Honestly I really don't go anwhere by myself. Me and my father work at the same place so we ride together. On the weekends I'm usually always with my wife. I learned along time ago not to drive any distance more than 10 miles by myself. Couple hours until I see my doctor. I will post this eve...

Do they mak a mask where you can breath through your mouth?

Well I cleaned it all up and tried my old machine last night with the wife present. I have a RemStar Choice. I used a NASAL mask (no specific name or model it just said Resperonics on it) alo used the humifdifier its a blow pass type no heater. I found out were the ramp timing control was and the pr...

Moogy, I'm pretty sure I wasn't blocking my vents. I'm oing to fire it up this evening and have the wife see what exactly is going on. We can only describe what we feel, but having someone see it will help get a better handle on this. I thought the perscription for a machine had to come from a sleep...
