Re: question about a pharmaceutical any had any experience

I have a shoulder problem. Calcified tendonopathy of the rotator cuff. I explained via e mail about my disturbed sleep because of the pain and cpap. My Dr. prescribed a medicine for pain that I googled and it is actually an anti depressant. I read all the side effects, and what it is used for and a...

Re: headgear experiment

Interesting idea, I can see how it would apply pressure in a different way. So are you saying that in this configuration it would be better to go one size up in the headgear ( normal med in quattro needs large if using the FX headgear)?

Re: What is the most extravagant thing you bought for Cpap use

I've been wondering... why the dryer?? I let my stuff dry at room temperature. What does the dryer offer? Sheriff I probably should get a dryer of some sort. I hang my hoses on a coat rack and a week later, you can still see water in it. I switch between heated and not heated hoses. I've been meani...

Re: OCD about mask fit?

Thanks, this info helps me understand the situation a little beter! I don't notice being woken up by a leak, however I do wake up to roll over and notice it leaking after moving to my other side. So by my estimate it is not significant enough to wake me (typically). I have a follow up visit with my ...

Re: OCD about mask fit?

Have you read the "taming the Mirage Quattro" blog? Are you getting any sore spots on your nose? Do you notice "face farting" consistently from one place or another? Have you considered a mask liner? Pad-a-cheek, or rem-zzz's, or home cut from an old soft t-shirt? Mask fit is a VERY big deal-and it...

Re: OCD about mask fit?

If you were going to run a marathon, would you be "OCD" about your shoes fitting? Of course you would. You wear this mask every night for 7-9 hours. It is one of the most important parts of your therapy. Leaks, discomfort will all affect the quality of your sleep. My concern is that I don't know wh...

OCD about mask fit?

I have recently been diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and have a few questions I'm hoping the forum can help me with. I received my CPAP this past Thursday, and I've used it for each of the past 5 nights with no compliance issues. I'm running a S9 Elite with H5i, Resmed Quattro large, 15 pressure a...
