Re: Looking for feedback/feeling crappy
I should have clarified when I suggested stopping or starting taking 'meds.' I was meaning some sort of sleep aid, not like heart meds or something. That would obviously be something I would not suggest. You could even try taking something natural at night such as chai tea or a hot totty? Something ...

Re: First week on CPAP - the good and the not so good
The stomach issues are a bit strange. Could just be caused by excess air from having too many pillows so you are sleeping propped? That causes your chin to go down and so traps the air a bit more in your stomach/system. Just a thought if you are using a pile of pillows. I certainly always have and i...

Re: Looking for feedback/feeling crappy
I've been on my cpap for about 5 months now and I still have a lot of the same problems too. About the only times that it isn't like that is when I force myself to pay attention or I'm out with people. Three things I could think you might look into: 1) Do you take any sleep meds? If so stop, if not ...

Re: How much is weight related to apnea?
I agree with most posters. I had 110 events in my sleep study, which basically means it was killing me without me knowing it! The sleep doc said mine is so bad that I've probably had it my entire life and it was hereditary. So even though I am about 50-60 lbs overweight, the doc said that it probabl...

Re: What's Your Mask?
I went with misc. comfort...not sure if that's a catch all or type of mask. I use a nasal pillow mask. It is the gel nuance pro. I love the thing and average about 7 hours a night on it.

Re: new here - advice please
I've been using a cpap for 5 months. Do you like the mask you wear? Do you get really hot in your sleep? I was having problems with both and would rip the mask off, even though I rarely remembered doing that. I started averaging about 4 hours a night, got me in trouble with insurance. But I got a ne...
