i'm wondering if anyone has ever modified the mask listed in my profile? i'm having trouble keeping it on to where the pillows keep falling out. they never used to cause as much problems as they are now. i tried to switch to a nasal mask i had but it's leaking so bad so my sleep is suffering. i wish...

i dont take regular vitamins so it's a possibility it is vitamin D i'm missing as well. i don't know that the regular blood test would show that. i may have to go see a naturopathic dr to get my vitamin levels checked. i did go for my vit b12 shot today and started my vit C/echinacea regiment today....

i don't know if that is possible to give myself the shots i'm in canada.
i am afraid of needles so not sure it would work anyhow lol. i'm taking it with me to work and hopefully will have a chance to pop into the clinic. i'll ask them when i go there.

not a dr here but i heard that sometimes if your EPR is too high (so say 3) you could be missing some events cause the machine is taking too much time to adjust the pressure to the pressure you need to stop the events. mine was at 3 and i turned it to 2. my next step would be a 1. not sure i would t...

i haven't cleaned it well since being sick with bronchitis. i have been so busy. i will probably do it this weekend. what can i use do you think that will sanitize it enough to get rid of anything. i also am on a well here so i don't know if it's okay to use that water to clean with. i only use dist...

i don't know. all i know is that i've been told by two people now (one being my chiropractor and the other at the health food store) that reg. sugar lowers your immune system and i do love my sugar esp in my tea lol. i bought some stevia to try. going to have to get to the walk in clinic since i don...

too bad it's in the states only. i think veteran's should get these discounts all the time. they fought for us why not.

i was sick most of october. first i had two minor colds then i got bronchitis and was put on puffers and antibiodics. i didn't use my machine for that week while i was recouperating. i started back using it sunday night and now i'm starting to feel some issues again. my throat is sore and i'm losing...

I haven't noticed that myself but i was thinking (after reading your post) that maybe if the hormones do change in our body once we are being treated and having better REM sleep that maybe those birth control pills are either too weak or too strong. i'm thinking weaker. i was on the pill before (a d...

ok well i finally got around to trying the ffm last night and looking at my leaks i don't think we are a good fit. i really like the pillows and want to try a new chinstrap. i mouth breathe and don't think i'll find the perfect ffm. it's good now cause i'm sick but not sure long term. i am looking a...

ok so i had yet another visit with the sleep dr. gave me heck about mouth taping and said i could aspirate if i throw up during the night. my chin strap isn't doing much so i'm wondering what other ones would work better? the cpap store i bought my other purchases at only had these ones so i'm think...

for me i've been following the WW eating plan. i count points. i have not joined it online or in person but got the info online. i was on it for a year and lost 40lbs then gained some back when i stopped and just ate whatever. now i'm doing it again and i've lost a couple lbs so far. check out spark...

also wanted to add that my epr level is 3 and it's full time. i am wondering if this makes any difference in my events.

ok so i adjusted my pressure from 9 to 9.6... i noticed that after the second day on this pressure my machine stopped giving me that much pressure and is only giving me 9.3 so i changed the machine to 9.4 and it's been only giving me 9.3. i am still having events and my leak rate is okay since going...

what mask is it? i'm using an opus. it could be the way your mask is made. dont' give up on pillows yet. i did for awhile but i'm back with them now. go figure
