Re: First full night with mask on.

The machine I had was when we were living in Alaska 4years ago. When I had moved home and called a store that sells masks they told me I had to get another prescription since it was from an out of state doctor and with that get another study.

First full night with mask on.

I finally went all night with my mask on however I didn't get a full nights sleep. Like usual I fell asleep just fine however its as if I've become a light sleeper.

Re: I had absolutely no idea how much this would cost. I owe 5k

5K is a bit extreme for a cpap machine. Without insurance mine would have been 2. I think you may be getting scammed for money that you do not owe. Best of luck.

I wake up and take the mask off and just turn the machine off. The nasal pillows hurt my nostrils sometimes too. My husband doesn't like it when I use my mask. But he will just have to get over it haha.

Been a cpap user for almost a year however I have not managed to keep my mask on during the night. Then was not able to use my mask due to moving situations, anyhow just wanted to say hello.
