Thanks kteague/Julie, so, if I record myself sleeping, I should be able to see any leg movement. I thought these movement are very subtle, but after watching the video clip that kteague has put online, the movement seem pretty dramatic. I guess, I am gonna go with night-vision camera and see what ha...

I am currently using cpap and my AHI and leak are within reasonable range. I have done a sleep study last week, and my doctor told me that I have high rate of leg movement and I will need to do full sleep study (with EEG), to see if I need medication for the restless legs... However, the hospital wh...

Hello all, I am currently using the ResMed AirFit ™ P10 Nasal Pillow, I found it to be OK, provided that I use the L size. But I notice that the air leak is abit higher than what I used to have when I was using the Full Face mask, it ranges between 10-15. I am thinking about trying another nasal pil...

The surgery I am planning to do is not as invasive as what Nozzelnut did. The surgeon won't remove my uvula (just trimming), and he will apply radio frequency to my soft-palate (no cutting). I am planning to have the surgery done in the UK with surgeon who is also sleep specialist. When I saw him th...

Hello everyone, I had went for Septoplasty back in August to fix my deviated nasal septum. The recovery wasn't as awful as I saw other people report on the Internet. Although, I can breathe better from my nose now, I still can't tolerate the nasal pillow yet. I am using FFM, but trying keeping my mo...

Hello All, I thought to provide an update on this post in case anyone is considering the septoplasty procedure. I had it done about three weeks ago in the UK by one of the ENT surgeons who has a lot of experience in sleep medicine, he basically did three things: 1. Septoplasty 2. Turbinate reduction...

I don't live in the states. I used to live in Canada, but I moved to the middle east couple of years ago and I did n't have good feeling about the doctors I met (not that there aren't competent doctors).

Thanks for the useful feedback, the doctor would be ultimate authority. But looking for other people experience would be helpful too!

Hi all, For those who have went through the septoplasty + turbinate reduction surgery, what was their recovery time/experience. I will be flying to the UK for business and I am planning to have the surgery there. The doctor secretary told me that I should remain in the UK for 2 weeks (minimum) befor...

Thank you all for the feedback. I have couple of comments to add and one follow up question to ask: 1. I agree with archangle in that being overweight is not major contributor to sleep apnea ( I guess I have to disagree with pstar on this one!). Just before I was diagnosed with OSA, I've lost around...

Hello everyone, I will be going for septoplastry surgery in August in the UK, and I will be consulting yet new specialist about whether or not to go for UPPP. I have considered doing UPPP when I was first diagnosed with moderate-to-sever OSA. But I have put this idea to rest I when read couple of bo...

Why did you stop using the humidifier? It would most likely eliminate the dry mouth and make you more comfortable while asleep. This might sound weird, I had to stop using it because I am fasting during the day !!! This is religious thing (I am a muslim), where I have to abstain fro eating or drink...

Hello all, I have been using Resmed S9 for six months now and have felt progressive improvements in my OSA symptoms (although not so dramatic). For the last 10 days, I stopped using the humidifier and since then I started feeling irritable, fatigued during the day, and feel sluggish most of the time...

Thanks everyone, I think I will give the Airfit P10 a try....

Hello everyone, I am planning to go for Septoplasty and Reduction of Turbinates surgery to clear my nasal path and allow me to use nasal pillow (instead of full face mask I am currently using). I was hoping to get some advice on which of ResMed Nasal Pillow masks got best reviews, especially for sid...
