Re: NEWLY DIAGNOSED SLEEP APNOEA SUFFERER
I never had a real problem using the nasal pillows, except that I had to fidget with it to get the air blowing in exactly the right spot up my nose in order to feel as though I could breathe easier. That went on for a few weeks but now I just put it on and don't worry about it. I never had sores. I ...

Re: I DREAMED!
I went for years without dreaming or remembering my dreams. Now I dream almost every night. It is a healthy and healing thing to do. Our bodies can now finally start being replenished.

Re: Weight gain 50+ days into CPAP??
I gained weight too! 10 lbs in 1 month! The nurse and I talked it over and we figured it was due to the Requip that I started taking at the same time for my restless legs, but maybe it's got something to do with the cpap therapy. That's an eye-opener.

Re: NEWLY DIAGNOSED SLEEP APNOEA SUFFERER
I was the same way. Very claustrophobic, and when I would put the mask on at night I couldn't sleep. I was scared for some reason. I even slept for awhile with a night light on which is something that I never do. But it did get better. I decided that I would wear it for a little while each night and...

Re: Average nightly XPAP pressure
Everybody has an opinion. You have to go with what is right for you, and this should be decided by you and your doctor.

Re: just a curious question
I've wondered the same thing. It is a lot of air going through my nose and down my throat, and thankfully I don't notice it!

Re: Throat discomfort while off CPAP
I noticed the same thing when I first started treatment. It felt as though my throat was swollen or like air was still going through it. I have only been on treatment for about 5 weeks, but the feeling is gone, or else I have just gotten used to it. I think it is our bodies getting used to this trea...
