Re: Hair Loss Question

errr....I never said I was not going to wear my cpap. I don't know how we got to me being dead in a coffin? It was just a simple question about hair loss from the mask.

Re: First night with mask

I am new as well. I started mine 5 days ago. Hang in there and just think about a time when this will all be second nature!
and I would say not having your partner there at the start is a big thing on your mind. keep at it!

Re: very new cpap user with questions

Yes I was able to sleep for those 5 to 6 hours with the mask on. And I can say that it is 10am my time and I have not tried to fall asleep yet today. I KNOW this is helping me and I am so excited and happy!!! Do you all suggest a machine that can do all of these things? Did I read this right where t...

At least 5 to 6 hours last night before taking it off. I found my 1st sleep study and while I cannot make sense...
