Re: Saw this on my local news tonight - Inspire (upper airway..)
I was very interested in this, but my bmi is too high. My insurance would've covered it though.

Re: Just had septoplasty and need advice please
Thank you for the responses. I called back and left a detailed message. My call wasn't returned until after 6pm that night, I of course missed it. I called back the next day and tha NA made me an appointment for today with a PA. I went in and they were very surprised at the amount of swelling I have...

Just had septoplasty and need advice please
On 11/13, I had a septoplasty, turbinate reduction and a nasal aral suspension. I'm not feeling that well now and could use some post op advice from others who have had these procedures done recently. I've called the doc and spoke with the nursing assistant and she wasn't very helpful. My face is sw...

REM rebuild? Nasal Mask? Tracheostomy? Nasal surgery?
I have multiple questions and instead of posting multiple threads, I thought I'd combine them here. I'm having nasal surgery in a few weeks, I'm having a septoplasty, turbinate reduction and a nasal oral suspension. I'm currently using a Airfit F10 full face mask, Medium size, but I'm claustrophobic...

Re: Advice requested, is my pressure too low?
Lucyhere, thanks. My expectations aren't that I'll be off cpap. But, I believe that breathing better through my nose will help my claustrophobia issues. I think my answer will come together in pieces, the right pressure- the best mask/nasal for me. I'm just going to keep trying until I can't anymore...

Re: Advice requested, is my pressure too low?
Yes, I tried nasal during my appointment and couldn't breathe well enough. I'm optimistic about surgery, even if I can't get off the full face mask I'm sure it will help me breathe better, even when awake!

Re: Advice requested, is my pressure too low?
Thank you. Yes, I'm not feeling better after 16 straight nights of cpap use, I'm feeling worse. This feeling is why I normally quit my cpap. Let's face it, if your untreated you're very tired and to then get treatment and feel worse, it's too much. But, I'm back on it and more than likely going to h...

Advice requested, is my pressure too low?
I'm adding my screen shots for advice please. I'm not feeling better yet and am concerned my pressure is set too low. I wear my mask for awhile before falling asleep and think my AHI number isn't really accurate. What can you infer from my last two nights of sleep? Thank you! http://i.imgur.com/y9dD...

Re: Sleepyhead, how can I tell when I fell asleep?
Thanks! Can I use the snore graph to help narrow down the time? I'm not feeling rested by any means and then no my settings may be too low? But if my AHI is 4 on a given night, won't my sleep therapist just think everything's fine? It doesn't feel fine. Maybe I'll screen shot a few nights and post t...

Sleepyhead, how can I tell when I fell asleep?
Ive worn my mask for the past 16 days! I'm claustrophobic and the first night my session was only 34 minutes long, last night I got to 6.5 hours. I start wearing my mask while watching tv and the last few nights I've used some anxiety medication to help relax me. My AHI was 6 last night, but I think...
