Re: How many of you used to have eye migraines prior to xPAP?
I actually had an eye migraine while in the sleep doctor's office - they do neuro work there but I'm not 100% sure if she's a neurologist. In any case when I told her she didn't seem that concerned. I've told my eye doctors before and they likewise said it was just from staring at a computer screen ...

Re: One Month on CPAP - Major Disappointment
Being 26 years old myself, that 27 year old child gives well mannered people in my generation a bad reputation. It's really a shame - when I first started reading the thread I was happy to see someone "my own age" on the forum, but quickly felt embarrassed for people my age.

Re: How many of you used to have eye migraines prior to xPAP?
Yeah unfortunately it looks like I jinxed myself. I had an eye migraine last night and since then my sharp, less-than-a-second, random stabs of sharp pain in my temple is back. But I also feel pretty tired yesterday and today -- I've been fighting my damn mask through the night again so I'm frequent...

How many of you used to have eye migraines prior to xPAP?
Prior to going onto CPAP treatment, I used to have eye migraines once a week like clockwork. Ever since I started CPAP therapy, I haven't had one eye migraine. *knock on wood* I started therapy the first week of November, so for me to go all of November and December without an eye migraine is pretty...

Re: Skeptic - what will happen if I modify my pressures?
Well - hopefully when the pad-a-cheek stop leak comes in it will stop the leaks that I've had.It's just frustrating how tired I am from not getting a good night's sleep.

Re: Skeptic - what will happen if I modify my pressures?
My problem isn't so much the face farts (noise) as it is the gust of air on my eyes or cheeks. I tried the RemZzz's liners but they get in my eyes and seemed to make the leaks worse (although quiet, of course). I do have a Pad-a-cheek anti-leak strap on its way - so hopefully that will fix my proble...

Re: Skeptic - what will happen if I modify my pressures?
I am a little bit lost as to what your problems are. Could be restate them again so I can see what they are and what is happening to cause the problem. Also a few questions... How many hours of sleep do you average? Is that sleep broken up during the night for any reason? Are you having masks issue...

Re: Skeptic - what will happen if I modify my pressures?
The pressure I needed was 17 - the 13 is just the exhale pressure and they said they usually set the exhale pressure 4 or so less than the inhale pressure which is how they got 13.

Re: Skeptic - what will happen if I modify my pressures?
Because my apnea events during therapy seem to be related to times when I'm struggling to sleep, I wonder if my sleep test had 20 AHI because I was tossing and turning with all the sensors and wires hooked up to me or really because of OSA. You had an in lab sleep study with a tech there in attenda...

Re: Skeptic - what will happen if I modify my pressures?
I use SleepyHead and download my data every morning to review the data from the night before. It's the first thing I do when I get to work every morning. I've had one night with 0.0 AHI, a handful of nights with less than 1.0 AHI, majority of the nights are between 1 and 2. I haven't had a night hig...

Skeptic - what will happen if I modify my pressures?
So I am skeptical about "just how well" my CPAP therapy is working. My eyes still burn throughout the day from being tired, I notice a little more energy, but I don't feel "night and day" different -- probably because I struggle through the night with mask leaks. What would happen if I changed my ma...

Re: Mask leaks...
That's exactly what I was wondering. The leaks is what really gets me feeling down about CPAP therapy... I have been waking up at least twice a night having to adjust my mask for leaks. It's a catch 22 for me - I feel like I'm getting woken up more with my CPAP, but when I am sleeping I am achieving...

Re: Mask leaks...
I tried the small Quattro FX which the DME technician said was the correct size for my face. I felt like it was right on my lower lip so I kept pulling the mask down to be between my lip and my chin which caused it to ride too low on my nose, putting pressure on my sinuses like you describe. I switc...

Re: SleepyHead Daily Graphs - No Event Graph = No AHI?
Ah - well, considering my S9 machine is currently in the trunk of my car since I'll be going straight from work to my in-laws tonight to stay with them overnight, I guess I inadvertently covered the reboot part

SleepyHead Daily Graphs - No Event Graph = No AHI?
As the title says - I imported my SD card data last night and was surprised to see that there was no Event Flags graph and more importantly my AHI was 0.0. Is it at all possible that the SD card just didn't get the event flags for the night or did I truly have an AHI-free night? The night before I o...
