OK... The question was: with pillows specifically designed/shaped for side sleeping while wearing CPAP masks, I am not sure if those are designed for the smaller nasal masks in mind, or can also be used properly with full masks. When I put my head on the side while wearing the full mask, the mask s...

I'm a newbie to cpap, but have been using my Airsense 10 for almost a month. I was also having severe dry mouth, but my issue was mouth leaks, figured that out with sleepy head software. I tried a chin strap (what a load of crap), and was about to give up and call my clinic. I even upgraded to the c...

I'm a newbie, still waiting to hear from DME. I 'thought' I had my mind set on this machine, but after reading this, I'm not so sure. I am not worried about myself as much as disturbing my wife. I suppose that if she was patient enough to put up with the 'freight train' next to her all these years,...

While I'm definitely new to using a CPAP, I also was diagnosed with mild apnea. Ahi of only 7.7, however, I did have significant reduction of my Rem sleep and episodes of moderate drop in o2 levels. My history of chronic migraines, hypertension and asthma made treatment a no brainer. I had no troubl...

Yes she did, and gave me a little card explaining more about it. I'll definitely have to check out sleepy head. Thanks

Okay had my appointment with the CPAP clinic at the Alexandria, LA VA Hospital. I was issued a ResMed AirSense 10 Autoset with Humidifier, with a nasal mask. They are in the process of getting approval for wireless data retrevial which will save me the 2 1/2 hour drive, so I'm a happy camper.

Every veteran who makes it home whole is a blessing--all those who are lost, we remember. Those who are broken, we must do everything possible to restore. Completely agree. While I was in the military I had to cross train from my original AFSC due to migraines, it was an automatical medial disquali...

Thank you for your service. I hope the VA does not stick you with a "brick". That would be a shameful way to treat a veteran. LOL from what I understand it's usually a decent piece of equipment. My mom and dad both needed CPAP, my mom's was from traditional insurance and daddy used the VA, mom told...

Thank ya'll very much. Gives me a much better idea of what's being recommended. I don't have an idea what machine I'll be given, I'm sure it will be based on what the VA has a contract for. I was sent outside the VA for the sleep study (Choice Program for Vets when VA does not provide the service) a...

Curious why you were put on straight Cpap vs Apap, when Apap machines can do plain Cpap, but give you more options as well for your therapy... you might want to ask about that. I have no idea. I'll see the VA CPAP clinic next week and wanted to understand what was being prescribed so I could ask th...

Hi newbie disabled veteran, getting my CPAP from the Veteran's administration. My prescription is CPAP @10 CM H2O W/C-FLEX OF 3CM OF H2O, and I'm curiuous as to what it means. From what I found online I get the 10cm is the actual setting or air pressure. But I'm confused as to what C-Flex of 3 cm me...
