Re: I like to stop breathing...for a few seconds...
You all are so kind. I am overwhelmed by your support. Thank you very much. I do not have an Elite machine, I do have one that says EPR. Any idea how I can turn it off. I will play around with it. I have taken the ramp off my machine, well my doctor did that for me. It is good to know that my habit ...

I like to stop breathing...for a few seconds...
Friends, I just switched to a full mask and I am much more comfortable. After just about 60 days on CPAP I figured out what my problem is. Normally I go to sleep like this: I go off to "lala land" and when I get there I slow down my breathing. Really it is more like I stop breathing. Then I find mys...

Pillows to Mask Question
Friends, I just moved form nose pillows to a face mask. So far I like it. Though in two months I have yet to make it through the night. I had the pillows for the first 60 days and have had tow improving nights with an AirfFit F10 Full Face Mask from Resmed. I sleep with my mouth open and I have a la...

Re: Doing better but not close to maximizing CPAP
I am not sure who to believe with this stuff, but how do I look at my results?
Should I call the company who is providing me with the equipment to get new masks?

Doing better but not close to maximizing CPAP
I have improved since being in the machine but I have a love hate relationship with it at night. I haven't gone for the recommended two nights in a row. Lately I have been taking the mask off in the few two hours. I have finally started wearing the head sling that keeps my mouth closed, this is very...

I can seem to find the screen showing the pressure setting, but I remember the person who gave me the tutorial saying 5-15.

Dealing with my nose!
I have an Autoset with a Climateline heated tube. I have been on the machine for three week now. Last night I forced myself to keep it on for 7 hours. It was tough but I made it. I am still struggling to keep it on and to keep the air from jetting out my nose pillows. I have tried very hard to tight...

Re: Two Weeks and New Questions Keep Coming to Mind
Thanks everyone. I am not finding a name that sounds right for my equipment. Next to the power button are the three letter EPR. Everything suggest that RedMed is the machine. There is a sticker on the side that says, "Classic Sleep Care." With reference to the dryness, I am dry in my nose. This has ...

Two Weeks and New Questions Keep Coming to Mind
It's nice to know this group exists. I went on CPAP because of sleep walking and talking, which has recently been diagnosed as apnea, I was on clonopin for 15 years. After a few days it felt normal to not take that medicine anymore. I prefer to not be dependent on any medicine to get to sleep. I can...
