OK, so I told you all about my issues with the CPAP. Well, the resp tech stopped by my office with a brand spankin new Remstar Auto with Cflex, a brand new Swift mask, humidifier, etc. The whole shootin match.

I can hardly wait to go to bed tonight.... To get a good night's sleep...

(I'm sure my wife will be very happy to hear that )

Hey Tom you lucky dog, you have to let me know how it works for you, I'm waiting for the exact same setup, it's driving me crazy after hearing how all these hoseheads are getting quality zzzz's, I want mine!!!!!! Did you get the encore software with it? Does that come with the equipment or do you have to order that separate. Well here's to some excellent zzzzz's tonight, let us know how it goes.
Later

Does anyone remember when we initially felt like the very idea of being hooked up to this machine every night was too awful to comprehend?

Now we can't wait to get quality equipment, and we actually look forward to putting it on at night!

We've come a long way, baby!!!!!

Ahhh, yes, sweet bliss.

So, after sleeping with the straight CPAP for a week and wearing it for something like three hours a night, I slept with the APAP on for Nine and a half hours on Friday night, nine hours on Saturday night and eight hours on Sunday night.

The bags under my eyes are going away - I woke up feeling pretty darned good! I know I still have catching up to do, but this is a HUGE improvement over the straight CPAP....

Congrats -- Now get your dental device

Post by meister » Mon Jun 27, 2005 2:54 pm

and let the good times roll. A Dental Device can be useful
when you want to travel up North to enjoy the frigid winter
snow, or when you are going to the Beach and don't want to
get sand in your hose.
