Tonight is the night.......I got my cpap today. I can only pray everything goes good. I have the Resmed s9 Elite with the Opus nasal pillow mask. Say a prayer for me
Re: This is it!!!
Wow.....you got a full data machine. Good job.
Check my signature line for the SleepyHead software information stuff.. it works great with your machine.
I bet they didn't give you the provider manual..give me a couple of minutes and I will send you a private message for a place to get it.
Please add your equipment to your profile. It helps us to see it at a glance if you need help.

Don't forget to use a saline nasal spray each night, and smear a very thin layer of K-Y jelly on your nostrils to keep the pillows from irritating them.
Pleasant dreams!

lottaj,
Excellent! I hope your first night goes even better than you hope for. May your future nights be filled with ever improving sleep and your days be bright, happy, and rested

The first night, I was too chicken to use the machine. I just sat and stared at it for a while, then fell asleep and slept poorly. The 2nd night, I lasted about 2 hours. The third night, one of us (either the machine or me) was about to go through the window. I guess I dare you to do better than I did the first night.
BTW, it all turned out fine. CPAP became my "new normal" within 10 days, and today, I wouldn't dare try to sleep without my machine.

Re: This is it!!!
Good for you! I'm glad you were able to sleep so long. If you can do that on the very first night, you are on the road to success. Ah yes, the dredded dry mouth. It's awful, isn't it? A chin strap might help. It's sure helped me. That and painters tape.
