Well things have finally changed. It has been 3 weeks of 2-3 hours of sleep per night so I called my Medical Provider and insisted on a new mask. They didn't want to give me a new one but wanted to make the last mask fit (obvious to me now that it was a bit big). Thanks to the tab title above named ...

So I am now on the cpap machine for 19 days and still not going well. I realize that my DME is not very good. She ordered me a new mask on Friday, July 6, and I still don't have it. She went on vacation in the meantime and didn't tell me leaving the other DME not assigned to me to try to fix things....

To Robysue I started a calendar the first week with problems I was having. I will now take your suggestion and add the positive things that are happening. That is a great idea to track the changes, even the positive ones. You are right, it is easy to get lost in the negatives than to realize the pos...

So you guys have given me a lot to think about and a lot to ask my Pulmonologist when I see him tomorrow. A little history on me: I am female, short and not heavy, I do not snore, I am not the typical type to have sleep apnea. It was a surprise to me! I do not know what kind of apnea I have. Now I h...

So it has been 11 nights on the Cpap machine and things are not going well. The jerking has slowed down, that part is good. I have only made it two nights with the mask on all night. The mask is not a good fit. I have talked to my technician and she was going to order me a new mask. Not sure I am de...

To Jweeks This is the second doctor, I did not understand why I was ordered a cpap machine when the titration test didn't solve the problem. I have an appointment next week and have plenty of questions for the doctor. So I am not getting much sleep, maybe 4 to 5 hours a night. I jerk myself awake wh...

Dear Julie,
Thank gosh I do not have those symptoms. I guess I am lucky.

My incidents where I was gasping, happened on one night and I literally was out of air and felt like I was struggling to get the air in fast enough. I have a full face mask and do not feel claustrophibic. I have had issues with sleeping for years and finally was able to get a sleep test this year. D...

I am new on the cpap machine, received it on Friday, this is Thursday at 3:30 a.m. and can't fall asleep. Still jerking myself awake while trying to fall asleep. Woke up with a headache on Saturday, Monday, and again today, Wednesday. Headache was bad today. I know that Saturday night/Sunday morning...
