I saw a sleep tech two weeks ago and became even more discouraged.
My leak rates were off the chart! Ussualy about 25+ for most of the night.
I tried numerous masks, seals, and sleep positions with no luck.
It appears things have begun to change, and I wanted to share what worked for me to help others.
I CANNOT put this is success story yet, because it is too early. But that will be my goal in a few weeks, if it all works out.
I pray it does.
With that said.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
My sleep apnea after 5 years of failure is finally looking like it might get better.
Everyone's support, information, and feedback, as well as sleepyhead has made the difference.
I wanted you to look at my reports, and see if I need any changes from those below
July 21 is with full mask and other dates are with changes made below.
Maybe this will help someone. I never thought I could wear a nasal mask, but mouth tapping works!
Also changing pressure works.
I just need to look into restless legs and possible alternatives compared to Mirapex ( A drug I fear)
Here is what i changed.
1. Switched from full face mask (too many leaks) to nasal mask only and tapped mouth shut using medical tape.
2. Switched from 4 to 12 pressure to 10 to 15 pressure rating.
3. Girlfriend rubbed legs before bed.
