Re: NEW, IMPROVED TAP PAP MOUTHPIECE!

I got the email, and am anxious to order and try. Sounds wonderful. I was pretty satisfied with the original, but any reduction will be great. The area behind the front teeth has kinda bothered me. Any improvement in comfort is great. I have just used the nasal pillows that came on it. Was hoping on...

Re: how long did it take for you to get back to normal

I am coming up on CPAP therapy for 5 months now. Actually I use the APAP mode. I don't know that I ever just noticed that I felt "wonderful", but gradually have noticed I have more energy, I don't feel near as tired at the end of the day. I rarely need naps. My therapy feels good, and believe me it ...

Re: Nose surgery

My husband had surgery 2x (20 years apart) and neither had good long lasting effect. He will not be going back a 3rd time.

Re: Card Readers

My computer uses windows 7. I think I may download Sleepyhead also. I'll get brave and try it again. Thanks

Re: Card Readers

I only tried using the card reader once, and it downloaded the info ok on my rescan program I had downloaded, but then when I put the card back in the machine, it said something about an error, and had to delete info on the card which I did. Pugsy told me that my DME could put the info back on the c...

Card Readers

I'm not the most technical person. I have a Resmed S9 machine. Is there any difference in buying a Resmed Card Reader versus just a card reader?

Re: TapPap...questions

When I started using the tap pap pillows consistently (about 4 weeks ago) I had similar results, in that my numbers weren't as good as they had been with my nasal mask. The numbers are getting better for me. I refit my mouthpiece a couple of times, but what really helps me is to run it under hot tap...

Re: Weight GAIN after starting cpap

I have been on CPAP now for around 14 weeks. Six weeks ago I started Weight Watchers online and have faithfully recorded everything I eat and have stayed within my "point allotment". I am happy to report I have lost 14 lbs so far. I like to bicycle outside or walk, and our weather hasn't been great ...

Problem with data card

I finally downloaded Rescan, looked at my data, put the card back in and a message comes up that says" Invalid SD card. Erase Card data? I respond No, then the next message says "Please remove SD Card". What should I be doing to take care of this?

Re: Old problems but new for me

Yes, my husband was tested for sleep apnea and although his RDI was 32.3 he only prescribed the mouth guard. He is a mouth breather and it drove him nuts as his mouth would get so dry. He tried a couple of products they (the dentist) suggested he try but didn't really help. He did have a lot of limb...
