Good Morning! My first night using cpap was pretty successful. Went to bed at 10pm, asleep by 11pm, and woke up due to a sore nose at 5am. Six hours of sleep and I'm feeling really good. My knees feel much better, I'm awake and actually having a cup of coffee because it tastes good, as opposed to ne...

I have wha...

It's uplifting to know that there are others who have gone thru the process that I am just starting, that they are willing to discuss it, and offer suggestions/support. Most people do ...

I am 39, a systems programmer, slightly overweight, living in Kansas. I enjoy camping, working with animals and ...

I was just diagnosed with 99 events per hour from a sleep study. I'll be going back in to determine what pressure I need for my cpap and then I plan on getting an S9. Where can I get the software?
