I am learning I can tell the whether I had my chin up or not that my numbers will be crap and I feel like crap on a chin down night. Good morning- It sounds like you are getting this all figured out and having some really good results. Are you doing anything when you sleep to keep your chin up? Are...

Good morning- Updates and random thoughts Friday and Saturday nights were a trip to the upside down bizarro world. My brain was all over the place. Saturday I slept- woke up for no apparent reason. Took some Z Quil just before 1:00 and went back to sleep. Last night after waking up I sat in bed wait...

LOL Good morning. Update coming shortly.

What are you trying to measure from an oxygen concentrator? most of them have flow meters built in. If you're trying to measure whether the concentrator is actually producing high grade oxygen, then you need an oxygen monitor, like this: https://smile.amazon.com/Portable-Measuring-Instrument-Concen...

I still experience symptoms of brain fog and blank mindedness all day long. It is affecting my work performance. I don’t know what to do. I started to become forgetful and can’t retain information. If you have similar experience please share, so that I know I am not the only one I am dealing with a...

I guess apnea humor could become a thing, but I'm not holding my breath. <------ LOVE IT!

Thanks! I will look it up over the weekend. I could really use a good laugh about this CPAP stuff- So tired of crying over it!

X rated is perfect for CPAP, it is like a bunch of cuss words, as a matter of fact, it is very relatable to George Carlins 7 words you can't say on television.

Brad, thank you. I really think this talk about the cervical collar has been extremely helpful! Last night I made a concerted effort to keep the chin up like you would with your collar. Maybe with the 2" collar you can still add a bit of head extension/chin life when you lay down. After doing this ...

Thanks for recognizing the challenges of posting her at times as well as for the laugh.

I may be old, grumpy and angry, but I love to laugh.
Oh yeah, did I mention good looking too?

If I try to turn the machine off, this causes a very real negative pressure that is most unpleasant. [...] Anyway, thanks in advance for any tips and suggestions. Do not, repeat not, turn off your machine when your mask is still on. Is there any reason why you wouldn't consider using Auto Off on yo...

Brad S

Thanks for taking the time. I can certainly see why that is important for someone on a CPAP, for sure. But with something like i have, with the autoset and the APAP, I can't see the significance. That's why I ask, so I can learn. It's crazy and frustrating that you have to qualify your question to ...

I know for some reason you guys feel the need to whip out your measuring tapes ...

The struggle is real!

I have been paying closer attention to the position of my head when I lay down. If my chin is up I seem to sleep better? my habit is to have my chin down closer to my chest. But I thought about your cervical collar and have been trying to at leasdoze with chin up. Feel better soon. Hi Lynn- I know ...

It is really funny how this cpap stuff works. Went from so much better sleep to the last two nights of this... Tuesday night. ZERO on the AHI and leak is under control but now I just can't stay asleep. https://i.imgur.com/wV7B3vJ.png Last night... The middle sleep was the only sleep of the night. Th...

Dude, are you high? Nope- quit in 1980 when my daughter was on the way. The only other time was riding in the back of my best friends pickup truck on the way to the Rolling Stones Voodoo Lounge concert on Halloween in Oakland in 1994. The Stones on Halloween- it doesn't get any better than that. tr...
