Re: Is anyone trying to lose weight?

I'm glad you bumped it, I was wondering if anyone was doing it still. Congratulations on weight lost, hang in there to those not doing so well. I'll have to read through the thread, lots more posts with some good ideas since the last time I saw it. I go to the dr. this afternoon. Hoping to have some...

Re: Connection or Coincidence?

Could be the sugar under control. When it is in better control you don't have to get up and go to the bathroom every couple hours at night (if that was your issue before). I notice when I eat too much for supper now I still have to get up several times. But if Im a 'good girl' at supper and with the...

Re: Filter issues

It's 2:40 a.m. Dang--is that my filter thingies on the floor again? maybe they are trying to get out the door...I'm beginning to think duct tape! Scotch, anyway...the tape, not the drink. Sigh. (as far as I can tell, the ridges I found on the bottom of the opening don't do a darn thing--thought mayb...

Re: Filter issues

Yes it does have the tab and yes, I was told to put the tab at the top also. I'll try it the other way tonight. Also--the side that feels kind of plastic and looks waffle-y (sorry about the description terms here--technical has never been my strong suit), that's the side that goes next to the machin...

Filter issues

Does anyone have any suggestions for keeping the little filter/sponge contraption from popping out of my cpap machine when in use? Last night it popped out and landed on the floor...therefore no filtering going on! I'm thinking tape around the edges to hold it in--yes? no? It's a little white white ...

Re: Help---my eyes are so swollen

My eyes started getting puffy as soon as I started the cpap machine. Changed to a smaller mask. Pretty sure not leaking into my eyes, but still puffy just the same. Guess it goes with the mask marks on my face and just another part of my character. However, I did sleep almost 6 hours straight last n...

Re: Is anyone trying to lose weight?

Good luck, Wolfhound. Congratulations Murphyslaw--I'm the only person I know who gained weight following weight watchers. Now I might be too scared of failure to try.

Re: Stupid mask... tell me that eventually it gets comfortable

I'm far from an expert, but the best advice I've gotten so far was to make sure you have the machine running at your high pressure when you fit the mask, not on the ramp setting. I put it on first sitting up, but once I lay down I have to fit it again. If you try to fit the mask at a lower pressure ...
