Webmaster,
I would like PST to remove his posts. This is not the place for his political views.

This site is to help people with their Apnea, not to bash or support any political office.[/size]

This is not the place for your political views. Please delete your posts. Interesting comment PST....How about MSNBC and the 4 Liberal commentators they had covering the election on TV. One of these commentators was even suspended because he made contributions to 2 Democratic candidates......They ar...

I am not sure. Your string is a little deep for me. I know you said "lets take nasal congestion out of the example" I have always been a mouth breather. It is rare for me to breathe totally out of my nose. I catch myself breathing through my nose while driving, movies, etc. I am sure I shut my mouth...

I use the Quattro. The first few days with my cpap took a little getting used to, including the mask. I got frustrated and went back to the DME and tried different masks. In the end I went back to the Qauttro, it is comfortable (as much as cpap masks can be) It does leak from time to time in the nig...

I have the same mask. Make sure the hose is laying on the bed. Or in other words, dont let the hose "hang" or it will cause it to "feel" heavy. I have tried a zillion masks and come back to the quatro. First few nights I had a heck of a sore on the bride of my nose. I started backing off the "dial" ...

I have a full face mask with humidifier and still have a dry mouth.
No biggie....I just keep some water by the bed when I wake up.

Keep with it, after two weeks you will be a pro.
Remember...it takes 21days for something to become a habit.
The first weeks are rough. Keep looking at the posts, we are here to help.

I found the hybrid to dry my nose and leak real bad.
But you may not have that issue. It just did not work for me.

Welcome to therapy !!!!! You will notice a difference in a week/two weeks. Stay with it, the mask can take a little getting used to. With a pressure of 8, I would not ramp. But that is your call. I have mine set at 5 minutes (down from 20 minutes when I first started) Just watch the inside of you no...

Welcome to therapy !! The mask/nose pillow will be your biggest headache....but its well worth it. I am on week three and feel like superman. Give time to get adjusted to the mask you are using. I had a sore that lasted a week. I started to use a band-aid at night to help, I also was making the mask...

I have only been using the cpap for two nights, and i have set the ramp for 5 minutes only. it was initially at 20 minutes, but i found myself waiting for the air flow to kick in before trying to sleep. I actually find the air flow soothing....it is the mask i am trying to get used to. The mask doe...

All I can say is good luck. Everyone has a different nose, chin, mouth and gap in between. I have tried three and keep going back to the Resmed Mirage Quattro. I tried the Hybrid, and it leaked and also dried out my nose. I tried the full face (Welders mask) and it leaked as well. Keep going back to...

Sure. Starting to dream again indicates that your are now reaching REM state more consistently. The sense of peril is probably just your brain dealing with the new situation - using a mask, seeing doctors, being wired to the hilt, etc. You can look up "directed dreaming" to see if you can influence...

Maybe I am twisted.
Since therapy (little over two weeks)
I have started to dream again.
But my dreams have been dreams of peril .

Anyone else have this happen to them?

Thanks for all the help. I got some Orange Clorox (bleach free) wipes at Target.
These will work great for during the week and I will do the water/vingar cleaning on weekends.
I have Greek oily skin and the wipes do the job.

Thanks for all the help.
