I just got my ASV yesterday and used it first time last nite. I LOVE it. I loved the overnite trial at the sleep center trIal, but I wasn't sure how it would be at home. Well, it's just as wonderful. I had problems with my mask and the seal around it (ffm), but I can fix that without waking up lol. ...

that is great to hear. I only had the overnite trial, but I spent the whole day running around and feeling great. I have to wait for the doc to get the info from the study, but I did call him today and left a message on how great I felt. Thought that might move things a little faster. I can't wait t...

Kiralynx I know what you mean. I have 3 doxies that sleep cuddled around me, (you know what that is like lol) I thought at first that they would be frightened of the mask and all, but they don't care as long as they can press against me. I was afraid I would have to move them out of the room because...

Well, Here it is, the morning after, and I'm in love. Who would have thunk it? lol. I slept so well last nite. It was so much easier then the bipap was to use. This morning the tech took me around to some of the bosses and all that had just come into work to have me tell them how great the asv was f...

well, doc called today. he just got my 30 day report and wants me to move up to asv. I've got to go to sleep study tonight to get set up for it. I am so sad and upset. I've heard such bad things about this machine, and how you can't breath right and how difficult it is. I'm so tired of all this. I j...

Good for you. It has so much to do with attitude. I've had mine for 4 wks now and I really didn't want to have it. but then the dr told me if I didn't use it he didn't think I'd live much longer. I put that puppy on and I use it abt 11 hrs a day. I don't love it by any means, but I know what will ha...

OMG...I've been using that mask for almost 4 wks now and I thought it was me. I wake up and have to fix the mask at least 4-6 times a nite. The liner comes undone, it doesn't seal right. makes noises all nite and drives hubby nuts. I will call and see if I can get another type of mask. yes, I do nee...

Thank you for the info. I checked it out and I've been putting it on in the wrong order. I've been putting it over my head first then sliding the mask down on my face. I'll be taking short nap in a it and I'll try it the way it is suposed to be used and see if I have better luck. thank you

I agree with the others. I'm on week 3 of mine, and when I spoke to the sleep dr. he said that I stopped breathing 56 times an hr. he then told me that if I didn't use it I would die. that simple. My average runs about 11 hrs a day.. I do take ambiance to help me sleep, but after having a grand mal ...

I'm having the same problem. how did you fix it? I find when I don't have the upper straps tight the air whisles quite a bit. what part of the mask can inflate? I think I'm missing something, lol

Mary

all such great advice. I know that if I stop using my unit that I will die. there is no room of discussion. my brain doesn/y tell me when to breath at nite. with the massive brain swelling, heart attack and stroke, along with the grand mal seizure, I'm inclined to believe the docs when they tell me ...

Pugsy, It is the same machine that you have. It's good to know it's the top of the line. I've used it again earlier today so I've got my 4 hrs in. I need to get some softer pillows tho. I don't know why I still fell sad. I'm not the kind of person to let things get me down.. I know it will pass and ...

well, yesterday was busy. I spent the morning calling to find out what went on with test and the results. Got passed from person to person with no answers. about noon I received a call that my machine and all were ready for me at the equipment place. They called me and I had an appt at 3 to pick it ...

just got the word that dr has ordered a bipap auto system. I'll hear from the rep within the hr. anything I should know. Just spent the last 8 wks learning about cpap what is the best bipap and what should I demand that the unit has.

John. I'm mary and i'll try to make this short. In sept i had a grand mall seizure for over an hr. massive brain swelling on both sides and a heart attact. In all this they have found tht I have centeral SA. I've gone thru 2 sleep studies. never given reults. finally called yesterday and things star...
