Thank you Kteague. You've been very helpful. That's amazing how much the TENS unit helped you. I talked to my sleep doctor. She wants to send me to an ENT for a second opinion. In the meantime I think I'm going to get my ferritin up and possibly try CPAP again. Maybe take Nyqol again or maybe try Me...

What is the most common cause of UARS? Narrow airway. Correct. I was thinking it was more the tongue/jaw relaxing into the airway but you're right the primary cause is a narrow airway. I forgot. I guess it's mainly the throat area but it could be the nose also? I guess people resort to surgery when...

I ask this because I'm apart of a online support group and they are all constantly talking about having surgeries done to fix their structural or soft tissue issues. I feel like I don't fit into the group as I thought the most common reason of UARS was the tongue falling back in the throat? No one s...

Hi - I'll let experts like Pugsy, etc. comment on your old study, but will ask you to enter ExciteOSA into the search bar under the logo above so you can see what's been said about that here. I also had trouble finding your machine setting min. and max pressures among all the info you posted - woul...

@kteague Thanks for replying. I was hoping you would see my post. Do you know what an average arousal index is? As well as a PLMD index? I would like to know how my results compare. My doctor said nothing about my PLMD result. I should add I had a god awful sleep that night. I swear I woke up 10 tim...

----Link removed---- Hi everyone, I haven't posted in a couple years. I've been struggling with CPAP and stopped a couple years ago as I wondered if I had PLMD also. I recently had my first sleep study so I was wondering if you could have a look at it. It was done last year and only got a copy of it...

@Zonker I'll let you know but I have a feeling I won't notice anything. @Chunkyfrog Actually there have been people that have had relief of their spinal issues. I'm not sure it would help stenosis though. That sounds pretty painful. They say it helps these issues of the spine: Spinal Cord Injury A s...

@Zonker :lol: @GrumpyHere Thanks for your suggestion. @JanKnitz Apparently Incline Bed Therapy can help sleep apnea. I'm in a FB group and have read posts of a few people who say they don't have it anymore. Someone commented a doctor said even if they feel better they could still have it and be dama...

OK, thank you!

Hi guys, I want to buy bed risers but I can only buy an amount that add up to 6" or 8" in height. I already have a wedge pillow that is 7" and comfortable as far as depth (but I slide down on it). I want to raise the bed as I have reflux and want to see if it also helps with UARS. I know 6" is fine ...

@Aprilia I have UARS too. I'm amazed and envious that you have adjusted to therapy right away with no problems. I'm still struggling many months later and can only manage to keep a mask on for 3 hours or less. Some nights I give up before I fall asleep because it's keeping me awake. In fact I'm up n...

I use the nasal cushion and find it very quiet. If I hear noise, its air escaping from a leak. I started using liners that are made for the dreamwear full face mask, that has helped the mask from sliding around from oil on my skin at night. That won't help the darth vader noise. I also use liners o...

Hi Pugsy, I may try the P10. I guess I wanted to try the Dreamwear pillows because it's interchangeable with the cushion and would make it cheaper. I cannot return any masks I try as I live in Canada. I'm leery to try the P10 though as when I tried on the Dreamwear mask with the cushion I was also o...

If you put your fingers in your ears what happens to the noise on exhale? Reduced, the same, increase??? Most likely if you need the small in the cushion a small in the pillows will also work. Did you get the side fleece wraps? If so, are you using them? Hi Pugsy, Last night I put in my ear plugs t...

Hi guys, For those of you that have tried both the Dreamwear cushion and nasal pillow can you tell me if the nasal pillows are less noisy than the cushion? When I use the cushion I find it too noisy when I exhale. I guess Darth Vader noises? I have my machine on a shelf so it isn't near me and the h...
