Hi, its time for a update. Tuesday 23/11/10. I met with my new sleep doctor today for the first time. The appointment was for 1 hour, and I found him to be very polite, patient, and at no stage did I feel pressurised for time by him. He spent quite a bit of time gathering information on my full medi...

The Quattro was a medium, and the FX is a small.

On December 1, I started using the Quattro FX Full Face Mask, which replaced my Mirage Quattro Full Face Mask. The main feature of the Quattro FX Full Face Mask is that it doesn't have the forehead support. It is a much lighter mask and more delicate mask. Interestingly, after 7 nites usage, my AHI ...

DebMA, i had the same problem. My pressure range was 4-20, and after 3 months I convinced my specialist to lift the minimum to 6.0. This has helped, but I still think it is too low. The whoosing noise is so annoying for me, I sleep with cotton balls in my ears.

I was told that REM rebound would occur around week 4 of CPAP treatment, and that is exactly what happened to me. I was also told that it would last a couple of weeks, which it did.

After 4 and a half months, I have had no relapse with tiredness at all. (Fingers crossed).

Thanks for the replies guys. Its great to see that you all seem to be experiencing similar positive side effects, except the body hair! It means that I am not imaging things! As a side issue, I ran an experiment last nite, based on what I read somewhere on this website. I read that side sleepers sho...

Jon,

You've got yourself a terrific machine. Congrats.

Can anyone answer these questions for me? 1. Avatars Can you have more than 1 avatar? I have 2 nephews and I would like to have both of their pictures as a avatar. 2. Posting in this box I find that when I post in this box, that when I get to the bottom of it, that the screen flickers and keeps taki...

Hi Everyone, Its Day 140 of my CPAP treatment, and I thought I would share with you some recent observations I have made, about some lesser discussed topics: 1. My Immunity System seems to have bounced back. Pre CPAP, whenever a got a cold or flu, it would knock me out for 2-4 weeks, and I would be ...

Age 41, diagnosed at 41.

Definitely had the symptoms for a minimum of 5 yrs.

Thanks Rested Gal. I have seen those blogs before, and I must have been redirected to them via a link in someones thread.

I have been on CPAP for just over 4 months, and the longer I go, the less I wake up during the nite. For the first two months I was waking up quite a few times during the nite. In my case, it was mastering the leaks that reduced the wakeups.

Is there a section on this website where people have blogs? I seem to remember surfing this site recently, and seeing it? Or was I looking thru sleepy eyes, and dreaming it?

Me: Does CPAP boost your lung capacity?

RP: No, its not a life support system !
