After 3 months FINALLY ABLE TO SLEEP!!!!!

Post by divajojo » Tue Jul 26, 2005 3:16 pm

Hello All;

I know it's been a few weeks since I posted, but things have been kind of crazy. The good news is, about 3 weeks ago, I slept throughout the night for the first time. Hallelujah . . . praise Fisher Paykel. My full-face mask came in and, while I prefer the headgear of my ultra mirage FF, the very first night of trying it, I woke up once to go to the bathroom and was dead to the world until my alarm clock went off the next morning. It has been that way ever since. I did have a few minor leak problems side sleeping, but a little tweaking in my pillows and that was no more. I don't have the words to say how much better this is, now I'm actually working on making up the sleep deficit. One thing I had to do was remove the little "pad" piece in the center of the forehead because after the first night I had a dent in my head and it hurt. I found after removing it that the mask fit better and that part was not even touching my head . . . PURRRRRRRFECT!!!!! Just had to share. I'm sleeping . . . I'm sleeping . . . . I'm SLEEPING!!!!!!!

I have never seen the righteous forsaken . . .
