I finally did it

Post by Perchancetodream » Mon Dec 10, 2007 11:51 pm

At times during the last two nights I have had to reach up and feel for my mask to make sure it was still on.

I had read that this could happen after you become accustomed to xPAP therapy, but I didn't really believe it. And I still think that the new set of PadACheeks made quite a bit of the difference. They seem to hold my mask more firmly even though the straps are looser than they were before I used the pads.

It makes me think that this therapy might actually work!

Good for you, Susan! You're another step (or even a leap! ) forward.

Great post! Gives hope to those among us who are struggling with the issues of SA treatment. Most nights I'm in that same happy zone . Regards

YAY!!!!

I've reached a new an interesting plateau - I can't feel it or hear it. I'm breathing so normally, I'm convinced it's slipped right off my face.

Before, I could at least hear the vents hitting the sheets.

This is really weird. I've done this several times the last few nights. My face can't even feel the mask at all. I'm convinced it's slid off my face.
