Espada: You were offered some legitimate suggestions such as raising the end of the bed or buying an adjustable bed. However once you mentioned that "plus i wanna live CPAP free", you doomed your post on tis forum. This forum is primarily for help with CPAP. Good luck.

Thanks JNK - great comments.

I am glad that you are doing well. It is premature and possibly dangerous to self reduce your blood pressure meds after 5 days on CPAP. Please consult with your physician about your long term blood pressure management. Blessings and good luck.

Julia is giving you excellent advice. You are having or are very close to having hypertensive crisises, potentially causing a stroke, kidney damage or other cargdiovascular damage. Please aggressively pursue treatment and resolution. I wish you well.

Sorry about your difficulties. Please discuss your concerns with your physician. I hope you fell better soon.

If you are in US, $1,800 is far too much to pay. Check out this forum’s sponsor or Second Wind for a much better deal. Under $1,000 for a ResMed Auto. Good luck. You will suceed.

Thank you for being a very dedicated daughter. Your mother is fortunate to have you. Has using CPAP improved your mother's overall quality of life?

Congratulations on your success. Determine priorities. If your pets cannot be managed, find them a new home.

Full beard and mustache. Have worn a ResMed F20 full face mask with foam cushion for several years without leaks.

I am sorry that you are not feeling well. Suggest that you look into other medical issues, both physical and mental, beyond sleep apnea. I wish you well.

Your machine routinely sells for about $600 USD. Check out LSAT’S posts. I wish you well.

Guys this is rediculous. I'm sorry, I thought this was this place for positive encouragement and relating personal experiences from a happy cpapian, how silly of me! Lol, I guess I'm just goofy that way. Well, regardless, this is the last time I'll be making that mistake. Peace out, Hosers! Its bee...

Not a cat hater. I like cats. This particular cat is just in the wrong environment.

Medicare and the Social Security Administration are two government systems that work well. Most problems are the result of the unrealistic expectations and the lack of user knowledge of beneficiaries. Thumbs up to these organizations and their staffs.

Try some 3M disposable ear plugs.
