fluctisone = Flonase. Same thing we're on. Beware of dry winter season on that spray as well. I was on it all last winter, and got chronic bloody/scabby nostrils until spring, which I think scarred over and narrowed my nostrils even more!

I don't think indefinite immunization is a normal thing. Standard course is 1 year ramp up to full dose, then monthly full dose maintenance for 5 years, which I did. Allergist said that is standard, and that 90% of patients respond adequately to that. So - maybe I'm the unicorn.

Thanks a ton!!!!

Agreed on all points. I'm basically off the medical grid now. Those two at-home PSG studies I did (full EEG/ECG) were on my dime, I own my CPAP, etc. My full-time dedicated, medically illiterate ass is more capable of diagnosing and treating my sleep problems than the 15-minute attention span of a s...

Brilliantly said. That perfectly addresses the general medical care question As to my specific situation, as usual I left out all other variables: With nasal mask I wear a head strap and tape my mouth shut, and cinch the mask tight so there is NO leaking. I also sleep in a black room, usually withou...

Well - fwiw - first night experiment with full face mask sleeping on side was pretty decent. Slept 2.5 hrs to start like a corpse. When I woke up to pee had that complete "amnesiac sleep" experience I don't remember having in years. Sleepy head confirmed no flow limits at this time either, thought t...

Hey folks! Question I'll lead into shortly...might my residual Respiratory effort Related Arousals (RERAs) be eliminated with a full face CPAP mask, from a stuffed nose? I just got two follow PSG home studies done - one on side/supine w/out CPAP, and the other w/my nasal CPAP. I NEEDED to get to the...

Pardon the obnoxious self-bump...

Not at all obnoxious.

In a post here recently, someone stated that taking magnesium supplement helped with their sleep. May want to do some research on this.

Yeah I've tried that too! Perhaps I should try again...

Interesting Zach. Feel free to borrow from my trials and errors too, if the diet thing doesn’t fix things. I’ve been keto carnivore for a while so protein sure ain’t the issue, but also experimented for a bit going back on high carb which didn’t help the sleep issue. But electrolyte and micro nutrie...

Pardon the obnoxious self-bump... Here’s an update & plea for perspective or advice from anyone... -Still constantly waking in 2nd half of night (after 3am pee) -CPAP compliance & success is 100% (0 AHI, wear it all night) -Sleep Dr had usucessfully had me try several dopamine meds on the theory of ...

What do your flow limitation graphs look like? Dunno how to get a graph - but here's the stats for last night below. Other nights also say zero Untitled.png Do you take any medications of any kind and if so, what? Just zyrtec for lingering allergies How many times do you think you are waking up dur...

Please fill in your equipment profile. You stated that you have an automatic. Most automatics are data capable, though I'be been advised not always. Assuming that you have data capabilities, you can analyze how you are sleeping and see what affect changing the settings has. I've posted my equipment...

Hi folks - I am pretty comfortable w/my APAP now, after 4 weeks on/off acclimation. I fall asleep ok, if a little delayed. And the last few days I've kept it on for 7+ hours. Mask is fine. But I am still CONSTANTLY waking up all night with it - I can't count, but probably a dozen times or more, just...
