Re: Running out of water during sleep

Thanks everyone. I will have to look at the manufacturers manual again...once I plug the heated hose in, as far as I can tell, the ability to change the settings disappears. Yes, Nevada is dry, my dreammapper software shows 100% mask fit, and I have resorted to a piece of ace bandage under my chin s...

Re: Dream mapper

I agree that it's not nearly as comprehensive as Sleepyhead software, but it's easy and gives a general overview. What I really wish it had was a place for notes or personalization.

So after a couple of weeks of what I thought was doing fine, I apparently turned over in my sleep, but woke up because I could have competed with any 13 year old boy in a burping contest.

Side effects I wish I'd known were normal before I started

Greetings...just thought I'd share my first month of CPAP use. My original diagnosis was insomnia, I didn’t have any of the classic OSA daytime symptoms, but the doctor said let’s do a home sleep study anyway. I got a call scheduling a titration appointment in 2 days. AHI was 72, and Oxygen sat. was...
