Re: Does anyone use the amara full face mask
Tried it for 3 nights and it KILLED the bridge of my nose - very comfortable though. If I have to use again I would consider additional padding for nose.

It took about a month to figure out how to cuddle with the mask, but we adjusted. Its not easy, but can be done. Just expirament is the best answer no o...

Re: How are you using the Sleepyhead data + other data sources?
+1 for sleepy head. Its the easiest one to use so far that I have tried, and cant argue with the price. I also love the fact the programer does take recommendations, and listens to the users.

Re: Waking during night
I had and still have that problem - they diagnoised as chronic insomina. With the CPAP it has gotten better, but I still wake up at night. I take 3mg of melatonin every night before bedtime to help me get to sleep, but havent found anything to keep me asleep. I have tried all the Rx meds without any...

Re: NO CPR stamp
As a paramedic this issue has come up and caused A LOT of debate. In Texas we have a special out of hospital DER form for this purpose. Legally we can not honor the "stamp", but we take it into account. Me personally I would contact our on duty physician and make sure they understand your request if...

Yup - haven't changed anything from previous night. I just looked and my leaks are also higher, but haven't changed anything other the mask.

Increasing AHI and I don't know why???
I noticed the other night that my AHI jumped from avg of 1-2 to 6+ over night and I don't know why. The DME company changed my mask to a nasal pillow, and I couldn't tolerate it so I went back to my other mask. Now my AHI is climbing and I am at a loss as to why. Any insight as to why this is happen...

Travel CPAP 911 Kit
I remeber reading an old post about having an emergency CPAP kit, but don't remeber seeing any details as to what to have. I will be working several days in a row, and will be taking my CPAP with me, and was curious what items would be good to have just in case.
Thanks,

Need input
Ok long story short - on my 4th mask and the DME company started me on a nasal pillow, and the screen capture is from last night. I just don't know what numbers I need to be worried about etc. I know that my AHI is a little higher with the nasal pillow vs my face mask. With the mask I was running ab...

OT - Maybe Insomnia
Here is a unique question for the panel - I usually suffer some insomnia and was wondering if the CPAP will help during an insomnia spell of maybe even prevent it(finger crossed!!).
