Thanks guys, I'm just back across the border again, and with with Internet! Yay! So, I've been trying each night to sleep with the CPAP, but i"m having difficulties adapting to it. I seem to have to remover it about an hour into my sleep. The MUCUS PROBLEM is not helping! It's like tiny bits of thic...

Kaiser Permanente routinely sends newly diagnosed patients home with auto-adjusting CPAP (aka APAP) machines to figure out what pressure they need. They set the minimum pressure of 4 (the lowest it can go) and the max pressure at 20 (the highest it can go), and they let the machine go where it need...

Another point that I noticed is that you don't use your humidifier when its particularly humid. Maybe someone can jump in here, but is it better to disconnect the humidifier or can you run it with the water reservoir dry? or do you run it with water in the tank and setting on 0? By the way, do you ...

@julie I can't remember what the doc gave me as an anti allergic pill, but it didn't do any good. I move around country to country a lot too, different weather, different seasons, it still persists... I raised my bed and when that didn't work, I actually tried sleeping upright (as the Buddhist nuns ...

I don't have access to a good team of professionals unfortunately, as I'm not home at the moment. I'm working in the field, in Asia (usually remote places, China, Laos, etc) so there are language difficulties, and maybe 'differences in standard about what level of care you receive. I'm also not in o...

Total newbie here. I have 1 night under my belt only... which was more like a couple of hours, in actuality, because I woke up realizing that my throat was totally blocked up by mucus. I've been suffering with post nasal drip (and thick sticky mucus secretions in my throat) that I'm constantly tryin...

Amazingly positive stories!

I don't have mine to add yet, as I just did my first night last night, and had about 1 1/2 hours sleep. But I remain positive, an hope that I can add my own success story to this list. in a few weeks time!

mzdawn74 I feel what you're feeling right now too. I literally had my first night last night (well, it was more like 1 1/2 hours really, because most of the night I just sat with it on (not even with the straps on, but just holding it to my nose) getting used to the sensation. It got easier with pra...

Thank you so much for your reply @kaiasgram really, it means a lot. I will take your advice and (figure out) how to change the settings, though I think it's only on 4 while it starts (ramping) up. The times later when I accessed the information screen it seemed to be up around the 9 point something ...

Hi all, I'll try to keep this short but forgive me if I ramble a bit, I'm actually in a really odd place, and I don't know what to do. Perhaps someone out there can help or share similar experiences? I really need help! I'm a 42 year female, who drank and smoked through her 20's. Quit all that and w...
