Well if nothing else ... that was tactless and crass of your primary care physician .... damn ....

On a plus side .. I think I figured out the "leak" issue ... I think it is a cold air from the exhalation vent (or whatever it is called) .. not so much leaks .... so after seeing my DME (who said the numbers from my data were great .... ) I popped over to the Dollar Store and bought me a cheap eye...

Awesome Lori .... the fog may yet lift completely ... you are moving in the right direction ....


There is definitely some great info posted here ...



I hope to see more progress in here .... but don't rush it .. .don't push it to happen .....

Sorry .. .no scanner ...

I have noticed more night being repeatedly woken up with a coughing fit to one degree or another .... and I am not sure what is triggering this. Is there a chance its my pressure? The mask? or humidifier tank issues? I am trying to be good and use the FFM for the rest of the week .... but when I che...

I had to wait a bit to get them from the initial study ... but thats partly my fault ... and i don't have a proper doctor until next week .... but anyways ... I hope someone can "translate" some of this for me ... It says I have very severe obstructive sleep apnea (AHI 84, RDI 85, nadir of SpO2 88%)...

Oh ... and I finally got a copy of my study results ... pre & post info ... numbers ... and graphs ....


But I am not sure what it all means ... I do to a point .... but still trying to "translate" it into normal english ....LOL

If you want .... not sure if you have to register to see some of the galleries ... http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/browse.php?user_id=340990 http://www.runtimedna.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=lastupby&uid=15420 http://divakatt.deviantart.com/gallery/ http://ewc2007.com/ (own site with sto...

You're doing well, Katt! BTW, is that your picture in your avatar? Funny, you don't look like you have a thick neck... Thanks .... not sure it feels like am doing well .. going to check the card for 2 weeks data ... all with FFM ... see if there are any clues to be found ... And no .. the pic for m...

Oddly enuff ... that trick does work ... but not always .... still a good one ... I am on week 2 with the FFM since I have found when I am tired (almost always) I find I do breathe thru my mouth more than I thought ... so I will try this FFM for a while yet ... .still waiting to wake up refreshed .....

Outer nostril area mainly .... sometimes even the nose (bridge etc) though too ....


And it matter not which mask I think ... but since I just did a week with the FFM I know for sure it was with that .....

I definitely like the results from the nasal mask ..... so I will try it for being my main ....


I do have one odd question .... why would my nose gt itchy? LOL





Stay tuned for progress ... heeheeee

Hi all ... I am still getting used to things ... but am too stubborn to let this beat me .... even though I have slept with this condition for years before being diagnosed. I have been using a CPAP machine for about 2 months now, and got a new machine & mask on 15th (had been using a donation one th...

I am new here ... and to this whole thing ... but I have been reading your threads Mad ... And may I say I am SO glad you are now getting thru to them .... took some work ... took some anger ... and in a better world it would not have been needed .... but am GLAD you are getting the info and hopefu...

Wish could help you ..... but I think this is something to approach your doctor with for analysis. Everyone's results are different based on extenuating factors ... so I would say there is no real "normal" but at best maybe a wide-range area for what might pass or fall into a "normal" category. I am...
