Hi all. Babs jumped the gun a bit on the request for a FFM. I am going try taping and a few other things before I resort to a FFM. I used 2 the first 6 months I was on cpap and REALLY hated the FFM. My problem is that I hurt (dislocated or cracked ribs, lt. side from manual CPR) so having trouble sleeping on my side, especally my left side. I can sleep for a while on my right side but I get real stiff quick and start moving. If I sleep on my back my AHI really takes a jump. Some of the pain in the chest is beginning to ease a little so maybe that will help. They tell me the pain in the ribs will take months. I guess maybe I am making more of this than it really is. My AHI is running in the 5/6 range but it is so frustrating because before this my average was .03.

If I can't work it out and have to resort to a FFM I will make the request again, Thanks.

Jerry
