Re: How to Find the Right Mask & Breathe Through Your Nose

HAPPY NEW YEARS Commenting on this forum has been very interesting to say the least. Well, I gave my itty-bitty piece of advice, and now - with a heavy heart - go wandering off into CPAP land: that special place for sleep apnea sufferers looking for a good nights sleep.

Re: Am I the only one who feels this way?

Oops, I forgot to mention that you really should ignore (starting tonight) your AHI readings if you are feeling refreshed in the morning.
