How did you start therapy

Trying to get an idea of some of the ways folks got into cpap therapy. I understand we have a few folks who took action on her own. Love to see the stats.

Re: comfort gel by PR

Just keep tweaking till u get it feeling right. I have not used that mask but starting using the profile lite. Working great for me. I am mostly a side sleeper and made a bit of a discovery that may help u as well. My mask always hurt the bridge of my nose I just could not seem to make it comfertabl...

Re: are you fully recovered after CPAP or still tired?Poll pleas

I picked fully recovered but...after a month I am not sure that can be the case. I am guessing i have had this dam condition for years and just "started" sleeping for the 1st time in say 5, maybe 10 years. I have read much here over the last 30 days about sleep debt and healing...so bottom line is I...

Guys, hitting the road for 1st time since starting Cpap. Question is on humidifier. Going to Europe for 2 weeks Q1- do you think it would be easer to just travel without humidifier on the unit? Q2 if I use do you think spring water would be ok for 2 weeks? I am guessing it will be a hassle to find d...

I picked and bought a machine I researched on my own and it came with 3 d...

Re: Air leaking out of face mask

Hi, I am starting 2nd week and like you use a full mask. I had no leaks at all for the first 6 days and on the 7th fought leaks all night. I think it may have something to do with cleaning, light soap and water every day... I was not doing that now I am. Let's see how that works. Also maybe tweak th...

Re: Week one on cpap. Leak help plz

One more detail. I did take a nap in the afternoon and tried a nose mask for the 1st time but used my full face for night time. Could that little experiment have something to do with it?

Thanks,
