Should I get a different machine?

My machine does not display data (AHI, leaks, etc.) but it is apparently stored on the memory card. Should I get a different machine and if yes, how does that work? Do I need a new prescription or can I just go to my DME and ask for another one? It's not earth shattering but I'm interested in how th...

Acne with CPAP

I've only been on CPAP for about a week but I've noticed I have acne where my mask fits. Does anyone else have this problem? I wash my face before I put the mask on each night but it doesn't appear to be helping. Any advice would be appreciated.

Re: Newbie VERY disappointed in CPAP

Thank you all for your advice. Last night I actually slept until my alarm went off. I hadn't done that in...years. So that is encouraging. Thanks again.

Newbie VERY disappointed in CPAP

I've been on CPAP since Monday and I feel I'm sleeping worse than when I started. I still wake up several times, don't dream, and now I'm sleepy in the morning when I do get up. Anybody out there who can assure me that it will get better. Please. Thank you.

CPAP on the Sopranos

I was watching the second season of the Sopranos and Uncle Junior used a CPAP machine to cure his snoring. He falls asleep and starts snoring and the lady who is visiting him puts his mask on and the snoring stops. Anyone else see this or any CPAP use in movies or TV?

Re: Newbie would like to hear success stories, please.

I've just been on CPAP for two nights. Both nights I have awakened in the middle of the night with my throat so dry I have to drink water which means taking the mask off. Is this common? I do have a humidifier set at 2. Also, sleepiness was not a problem previously but this morning I woke up in a fo...
