8 months But I feel great much more energy
I feel like I did a decade ago and I have much more energy. I have been working 12 hour days 6 days a week and not having any problems keeping up. My cognitive problems are getting better but I do feel some damage was done. I started taking Coconut oil twice a day, maybe it's a placebo but it seems ...

Re: Other sleep problems
I do use sleepyhead and the data looks great. There is nothing that I can find that wakes me up. The clock is facing me but I don't dwell on the time or amount of sleep. My internal clock seems to wake me. The funny thing is it's always just after 3am. After I wake my internal clock says that it's a...

Other sleep problems
I have been getting better with Cpap but now find myself waking after a few hours sleep. I can't sleep straight through and never get more than five hours total. I don't feel tired anymore but certainly don't feel like my cognitive skills and depression are getting any better. My sleep apnea is cert...

Re: One month and much worse than before cpap
Hello Gertrude I experienced a lot of weird feelings before and after treatment. I have been on the hose for a little over four months and some days are better than others. I am currently working 12 hour days then coming home to weed the garden. I still experience brain fog and memory issues. But ho...

Re: Sleep Apnea and Depression
I know I have major depression. That is one of many symptoms of sleep apnea. The one main symptom that didn't affect me was feeling tired. I had no problem staying up until 3am and waking up at 6am. The constant fatigue and sleepiness didn't start until about a year ago. I wish there was some way to...

Re: Diagnosed 3-28-2012 1 night in with my Machine and Mask
Download and install sleepyhead. The memory card has the data you seek. The machine doesn't give you the information. The modem in the back sends it to the doctor and DME. Pull the memory card out and insert it into computer via slot or adapter. The software gives you the option of uploading data. D...

I still have a lot of events should I talk to doctor
about increasing pressure? I am currently at 17 but I keep having an average of 11 to 25 OA a night. Last night I had 32 although none of them lasted for more than 20 seconds. I slept for 7.5 hours and then made the mistake of going back to sleep without the mask. I was reading a magazine and woke u...

Do you notice a difference when you have multiple events
I noticed that I feel like poo if I have more than a few events a night. When I have a bad day I check my efficacy data and usually find out that I had 10 or more events or that the leak rate was high. When the mask stays on and I don't have any events I feel much better. I know that I have undetect...

Re: POLL: How long until you started feeling better
I am finally starting to feel better after 2 months, but I have to add that the first mask didn't work at all. The current mask works great even at my increased pressure of 18cm The leaks are bad when I sleep on my side and bury my face in the pillow. I can already notice improvements in my memory a...

Re: New mask from Paykel didn't work at all
I modified the mask a little and it works better. However last night I forgot to replace the memory card and the machine only went to 13. I slept all the way through but now have a serious headache. So I know that apnea is causing my dizziness, memory problems, fatigue etc. The problem is getting an...

Re: New mask from Paykel didn't work at all
Lsat I am using full face masks because of sinus problems. The mask leaks all over especially around my cheeks. The machine can't keep up with the amount of leaks, so therapy has eluded me. The 17 cm of pressure is fixed because that's how much pressure it took to maintain my airway. There are many ...

Yes I have tried various materials and nothing has worked. The liberty mask seemed to work at the DME but I will have to try it tonight.
I can't believe it's this hard to find a mask that fits. The therapist said she has never had a problem like this before.

Re: Mirage Quattro Leak Question
The new mask didn't work either. The leak rate on sleepyhead was almost 100% I will try the Liberty mask tonight. Don't know what to do past that. My face wasn't designed for these masks.

Finally had an appointment with the DME
After a month of calling and emailing I finally had an appointment to get a new mask. My primary doctor was totally worthless and my Pulmonologist made a few calls but my Urologist of all doctors ripped them a new posterior. He called and threatened to be a witness to a lawsuit if they didn't do the...
