Just wanted to give an update. Dr said she was going to up my pressure because of the change to a full face mask. Also I am testing out a higher dose of nuvigil. Also, I am going to have do all o can to get more sleep with the cpap. We will see how this goes. Today was okay until about 15 minutes le...

Is there a good way to approach this issue with my doctor and my DME? I want to be able to have better knowledge of how this is helping(not helping) me rather that relying on the doctors educated guess or thought on the issues.

Alright, I have a check up this Friday and I am looking for advice. Currently, I have a machine that I cannot get info from. Secondly, I have not had a new mask since October when I had sinus issues and I changed mask due to DME instructions in July. I am still sleepy ALOT and I take nuvigil. The nu...

I keep reading about all these people who can see their different numbers, etc. Can anyone tell me how to do this on my machine? I am clueless about this.

How many masks does everyone have? How often do you change your mask? I have had my cpap for 6 months and I have only changed my mask twice. Once because I could not breathe through my nose and secondly because I had an upper respiratory infection. Also, would insurance pay for two masks?

I have to schedule my colonoscopy for this year and I had not been diagnosed with sleep apnea last timr when I had it done. Has anyone had any experience with having sleep apnea and having a colonoscopy done? I have been having a colonoscopy for 17 years so that is nothing new, I am just concerned a...

Yes because I have a tendency to turn off alarms in my sleep, I have at least two alarms usually set 15 minutes apart.

Update: wore my mask for 4 hours 24 minutes last night. Not bad since I only slept for six hours. No dry eyes. I just need to retrain myself to not take it off when my first alarm goes off.

I tried putting my mask down further on my nose last night without covering my eyes. I didn't sleep with it on long but that was caused by my toddler disturbing my sleep not air in my eyes. Will attempt it again tonight and see what happens.

I will have to check with my pharmacy that provides my mask. When I got this one from them, I only had one more option for the full face mask and it would not work because it has the strap across the forehead that rubbed my forehead raw.

I understand that the holes are designed to blow air straight out not up but we sleep with a ceiling fan on in our room which shifts that air up to my eyes.

The air from my mask that dries out my eyes is coming from the holes in it not from any leaks.

Not sure why my signature did not change. Will check on that later. Anyways, I occasionally fall asleep without my cpap because I cannot watch tv and use my mask because I have to cover my eyes with a sleep mask to keep my eyes from drying out from my mask.

I am using the Philips System one with a quattro fx mask. I have also changed my signature to share that from here on out.

Checked my stats from last night and based on when I put the mask on, I had 4 1/2 hours. But I fell asleep before I put it on.
