Re: first night with dreamwear

Well I believe I will give up on the dreamwear mask. I just cant get it to work for me. One think it feels like I cant get enough air. I have to take in deep breaths just to feel adequate. Also it seems like it gets dislodged easy and starts to leak. I had great hopes for the nasal mask mostly so I ...

Re: sleepweaver

Well I changed my mind I read many reviews and decided to play a little safer and went with dream wear. It got great reviews. I still like the idea of the SleepWeaver but I also liked how the dw connected. Idk it may not work but I opened so. I don't have a problem with claustrophobia and can keep m...

Re: sleepweaver

Thanks for the replies. I am going to try some kind of nasal mask, probably this one. I miss being able to sleep on my side. I am hoping this might fix my problem. Idk but at least it's a 30 day trial. I am considering a couple others too

Re: No relief yet

Hopefully I will get the reef eventually. Another quick question or three 1. Is it helpful to use a mouthguard? I have used one for a couple of years because I grind my teeth according to the dentist 2. Also, would sleeping on a wedge help any?. 3. Lastly, I do think I position on my back frequently...

Re: No relief yet

Thanks for your help. I changed my settings some like you mentioned. I certainly can't see how it could hurt. I know I need more sleep but I don't know how to do that yet. I blame it on my back but who knows. I just wake up and have to get out of bed. Eventually I may need surgery on my back but I d...

Re: No relief yet

When is your follow up visit scheduled with whomever is managing your apap results? What is the median average pressure per the machine? Not the 95 % pressure....the median. Couple of thoughts...while your AHI is well within acceptable limits your pressure is doing some fairly wide swings and that ...

Re: No relief yet

Couple of questions. Do you have a copy of your sleep study without cpap and if so, does it mention supine or REM AHI and if it did what did it say? Did you have a sleep study with cpap and machine and if so what was the prescribed pressure OR were you give this machine with the understanding that ...
