It sounds like your body is jut trying to get used to getting good sleep. I've been on my cpap since Januaury and have noticed that I'm not as tired as I was before but I still take an occasional nap. It's just taking some time for my body to adjust to the change after several years of not getting g...

Deffiantly rainout. I had that until I made a hose cover out of fleece and have had no more problems with it.
As for drying your hose I find that hooking it up to my machine without the humidifier and running it for a few minutes the air going through it will dry it out just fine.

Hey Wil thanks for posting about the hose cover! I'm going to get my sewing machine out this weekend and make me one
I'll be happy to make one for anyone who wants one

I had my first sleep study 2 1/2 weeks ago and at that one they just hooked me up to several monitors and I went to bed and was recorded while I slept. I had to go back a few days ago for another sleep study to try out the CPAP machine and was hooked up to the same monitors to be recorded while I sl...

Thank you all so much for your suggestions Megan did much better last night with me wearing my mask she still hates it but she does not get as upset, I let her play with the mask and feel the air comming out of the hose. She helped me clean it today so hopefully it wont be long and it will be just a...

My three year old, Megan, is terrified of my CPAP and mask. I just got it today and when we went to take a nap she didn't want to even be in the room with my machine when I started setting it up for our nap she ran out of the room crying and hid in the bathroom. I tried taking the mask, headgear and...

So far I've been diagnosed with Sleep apnea and I also have insomnia and restless legs. I've also got fibromyalgia which there are sleep disorders that go along with that also.

I thought I was totaly nuts for forgeting to breathe during the day! My hubby would think I was mad at him when I would realize I was holding my breath and take a deep breath. I have found that doing yoga especially the breathing part has help me a lot with my breathing.

Sounds like you deffinatly need to see your doctor asap. As for the zits, itching ect. I would sugest a good cleanser & moisturizer every morning and every night, Mary Kay's Velocity is my favorite for controling zits & itchy skin. Be sure t check with your doctor as soon as you can though.

I got a REMstar Pro with C-Flex and heated humidifier unit by Respironics today and when I tried it out for a few minutes this morning to get my mask right it supprised me how quiet it was, my fan is noiser than the machine.

My respratory therapist told me that ramping is good for people trying to get used to there machine, it starts at a lower pressure and builds up to full pressure over a period of a few minutes mine takes 10 minutes to build up to full pressure, I'm going to try it tonight for the first time. Last ni...

I think I would like to have a secound one just in case my breaks down but the hospital where I got mine told me that if it does break down that I can get a loaner when I bring mine in to be fixed. But one just for travel would be nice to if I could ever come up with the $$$ for a much needed vacati...
