Need a new bed

My wife and I are upgrading from a Queen to an Eastern King and I need some advice. I am the one with Apnea. My numbers of late have been somewhere between 4.5-7 on my DreamStation. She has started snoring recently as well so we want an adjustable bed. The thing about buying a bed is it's like buyin...

Wakng up, taking mask off

Does this happen to anyone else? I have been using my FF mask for 6 months now. About a month and a half ago I started taking the mask off in my sleep and only realizing it much later in the early morning. I get as little as 2 hours use but never more than 4.5 because of this. I fall asleep fine wit...

Reversion?

I had a terrible time adapting to my FF Cpap machine. But, that only lasted about 2 weeks and then I got used to it I never ever got the kind of sleep that people long for: the kind where you just wake up in the morning and it's like you were asleep for 10 minutes but it was really all night. Instea...

Re: Week 3: dizzy-world spinning. ???

Thank you, Clay!
It didn't occur to me until I read this stuff that I have had what feels like a zit or a slight inflammation in my right ear. I wonder if this has something to do with it.
You guys have all been so helpful. I really appreciate it.

Re: Week 3: dizzy-world spinning. ???

Respira system one. Pressure 6, doc ordered. Humidifier 1. The higher numbers made me feel as tho I was suffocating. When I lowered it, I started being able to fall asleep. I use a decongestant to clear sinuses since I have a deviated septum. This was the first time this happened. I'm really really ...

Re: Week 3: dizzy-world spinning. ???

Wait, Sleepytwo, are you saying that a forum ISN'T the place to get a full diagnosis??? Cursed internet. No. The vent wasn't blocked. In fact, until the dizziness, it was the best sleep I've had with the mask so far. I'll call my doc soon. I just wanted to know if anyone else suffered from dizziness...

Re: Week 3: dizzy-world spinning. ???

Nope. Never had a dizzy spell in my life.
Still having it as I type this.
Trouble us, the only semi comfortable way to lay down us on my back. But the mask only exacerbates the dizziness right now and the apnea is full on.
I'll call asaic.
Thanks.

Week 3: dizzy-world spinning. ???

Hey, all. I made it through the first week or two of cpap hell and started getting 6-7 hours of sleep. Things seemed really swell but then, last night, it got weird. For the first time I felt like there had to be something wrong with my ffm/machine because is never felt do comfortable with it. I che...

Re: Newbie would like to hear success stories, please.

The insomnia began with the mask. I did have a mild success the other night. I actually fell asleep with the mask on. It was quite the process, however. I had to drop the temp to 0. And use a guided meditation program to get me to that place. Worked twice in a row, so I'm very buoyed by that. Troubl...

Re: Newbie would like to hear success stories, please.

So, I'm a really real newbie but I've been reading a lot of the posts here and.... I gotta say, I've never considered my own mortality as much as in the last few days when I first got my Quattro FF mask. Now, I've had 2 heart attacks, both in my early 30s. I've been in about 2 motor scooter accident...
