I am sleeping longer with the new machine....between six and seven hours a night.....still not feeling any different. I know it's only been three nights.....but impatient to feel better.

Hi Dori.....I'm not sure what that means

Hi purple~

First night w/VPAP.........I slept with it for almost 6 hours!! Wow! That's a LONG time for me!
The exhale was so much more "normal".......pressures set @ 7/14. I am actually looking forward to going to bed tonight for the first time since I started this trip!!

It's been about eight weeks now on cpap and I,'ve been struggling big time to rack up enough hours for this to help me. After a visit to the sleep Dr. Last week I,'ll be getting a cpapap this afternoon. I am so hopeful I can tolerant it more and can start seeing some positive changes in how I feel. ...

I LOVE the Wisp!!!!! I know it's only been 1 night and this may be the honeymoon phase but there was not one leak.......it was as comfortable to me as anything strapped to your face could be. I slept with it for six hours!!! Psychologically it was a huge boost to think there really IS a light at the...

Update..........The DME let my husband come down and exchange the mask I had for a new one...the Wisp.......has the three sizes to try which is good. We also went out tonight and bought a memory foam pillow that he is "modifying" for me.....cutting out a place for the mask to go...it's a start. I sl...

There is a lot of abuse using handicapped spaces, ie people just parking in them without a tag at all. It's easy to judge people but a lot harder to be inside their skin...just saying....I don't use a walker or a wheelchair but I have a major back injury that compresses nerves to my leg and causes s...

Pugsy....it was reset yesterday and last night the exhale was easier. purple~ the bi type makes so much more sense. Last night was the worst.....the new mask seemed to start out great but then after awhile it would start to leak, I'd get it readjusted and then it seemed like the whole seal would jus...

I tell you there is so much to learn, so much trial and error. Tonight is night #7 and it's been interesting! I tried for three nights.......hours on the machine....3,7 & 3.......futzed around all night trying to minimize leaks which wasn't working well so got almost no sleep....was sick on Friday f...

There is no doubt I am extremely out of shape! I don`t think it's a pulled muscle...more like some kind of inflammation across the whole middle back.... As for the bed...nope....worked very hard to make it as comfortable as possible. I appreciate all the ideas you are sharing. I just wondered if it ...

Thanks for your post Dave..so much seems like trial and error regarding CPAP. Pugsy...that is exactly what it feels like. I am so exhausted today.......worse than my normal "tiredness" at this time of day. I feel like I am on an emotional roller coaster...one minute feeling optimistic and determined...

Hi ironhands...............Night before last no, slept on my side as always... last night in the recliner but I do that often with no pain.

Last night was night #2 on cpap...................slept with it three hours the first night and seven last night. I had some pain in my back yesterday morning and a lot today..........I read somewhere a few weeks ago that using muscles in the back/diaphragm for the forced exhalation can make you sor...

Thanks everyone. I will try to find the info on how to use the programs....the more info the better. Okay....so almost ready for night #2......set up in the recliner to see if that will help me be most comfortable for a few nights.....sweet dreams all-

JDS~ Thank you for the welcome~ I thought I had posted the equipment but realized I had one of the setting wrong. Do you think I could be opening my mouth without realizing it....I do usually breath through my nose unless sick. Weird because when I open my mouth while awake with the mask on the air ...
