Good ideas -- thanks!

Thanks. Do you mean those inserts that go under the mattress or one of those longer pillows that you lie on from the waist up? I was looking into both of those a while ago, before I settled for bricks.

Hi. I'm currently thinking about how my sleep environment might be impacting my treatment. I am... - a stomach sleeper - with controlled acid reflux - a CPAP user with a nasal mask (no problem here) My mattress is just a few years old, comfortable, but I always wish I bought something a bit more fir...

I'm sure NJ isn't helping matters, but I don't see leaving here for at least another 5 years, if ever. So you were given a special type of machine that's supposed to help with this, but you don't actually feel better? That's a little disheartening. What are your next steps? I'm overdue for a follow-...

Thanks. My AHI is consistently between 2 and 5 around this CPAP pressure (7, , so AHI alone isn't the reason why I feel much worse on some nights than others. Per the suggestion, I'll search around and see how I can hack and tweak the settings to mimic a bi-level. I'm looking to try anything at this...

Hi. I've been on CPAP for about a year, and it's essentially eliminated the obstructive apneas and hypopneas, and using the machine is better than not doing so. Yet, I still look for reasons I'm still very tired and have morning headaches most of the time. I noticed from the beginning that I have wh...

Here are the screenshots I had uploaded not long after starting this thread. Nothing significant has changed, CPAP-wise, since then. There were already uploads of a typical night -- here are overall results that I'm not sure contain anything useful: http://s1265.photobucket.com/user/awakeinnj/media/...

Hi. Sorry I left this thread dangling all this time. I guess I got sidetracked after posting and then forgot about it. It's been an interesting few months, and I wanted to follow up for anyone having similar issues searching back to this, trying to decide what to do next... - CPAP therapy -- no chan...

Our situations sound similar. Male, mid-30s (ok, now late 30s) - burned out mentally and physically for years. Disabling fatigue and headaches -- so many borderline labs. Just recently, things started coming together for me. I'm not sure why, but I'll take it. One thing that's definitely helped is p...

Hi, everyone. I've been on CPAP since the beginning of the year and I'm hardly feeling better with it. Other dr's have been eliminating the other possibilities for my main problems (fatigue, unrestful sleep, headaches), one by one. The pulmonologist I visit seems to think the CPAP therapy is working...

He's a pulmonologist and I just double-checked that he is certified in sleep medicine. I'm just questioning every possibility at this point, so I guess it couldn't hurt to get a 2nd opinion after having visited the other specialists at least once.

Yes, although my fatigue precedes my use of the drug by several years, and then I started cymbalta and CPAP at about the same time. So it's hard to say...

I do have mixed feelings about the cymbalta. I had been burned out, tired and anxious for years before I started treatment of any kind. And then I started the full dosage of cymbalta and the CPAP at about the same time, so there hasn't really been a controlled experiment. Mentally, I feel WAY better...

Hi. I sleep solidly through the night -- usually 7-10 hours and closer to 10. I'm getting better about consistent bedtimes, but it's never enough. I'll occasionally wake up if I hear the mask leaking badly, but that usually don't happen and when it does I only remember it for a few seconds. My typic...
