Don't hold your breath, Bertha...

Yeah, time to move on.

BOOOO Have to sign in and register ---AGAIN. Have registered 3 times already and every now now and then this sign-in creeps back in. ITS NOT ME. Innocent. Know how to do this. Someone is playing dastardly tricks. The forum owners need to check software. Have you tried the name you registered under?...

Problems-problems--you may start out on your back or whatever, but who knows how you will wind up. Dont think any of the manufacturers are doing a great job, or else we would not be moaning about it. Manufacturers--listen up! There are "contact us" buttons on some manufacturer websites. You could l...

Hi, I just got the EnduriMed CPAP pillow from Amazon and I really like it. I'm a side/back sleeper and the mask kept pushing up and it caused leaks but the CPAP pillow has space for the mask to rest in on the side. It's also really comfortable (memory foam). Just wanted to recommend it for anyone w...

. . . Don't let perfect be the enemy in the good. You may have to settle for "good enough". I agree, but depends. I would also argue not to let the good-enough be the enemy of the perfect. As a, ahem, perfect example: In my marriage, my wife had to settle for "good enough." I, on the other hand, co...

Same here. I told all the medical staff that I had sleep apnea and they assured me they would monitor my breathing and I would be fine. They were right.

I just switched from my Nuance mask to a Air Fit P10. I use a heated hose and heated humidifier. With the Nuance mask I could get two nights of water use in the water tank. With the P10, there is only a minute amount of water left in the tank in the morning. In fact, the first night I used the P10,...

Definitely feeling more positive about things after one good night. Now if I could get to sleep quicker. It still takes 30-45 minutes. Without a mask - anywhere from immediately to 15 minutes. Ah, there's the rub. I also went to sleep very quickly pre-CPAP. The problem was staying asleep. It took a...

That is a symptom of untreated sleep apnea. I've heard that in the past few days (reading others' posts) but for me, it's a symptom of a middle-aged woman who has had 3 children bounce on her bladder for nine months. I don't know many older women who don't have to get up in the middle of the night ...

Also was wondering did any ones symptoms show up overnight or was it a gradual progression? Thanks. Mine was a slow progression - I was tired for months to years before I even considered looking for a solution. The real reason I went in was a lack of concentration and slipping memory (couple of ext...

I was diagnosed late July, and had/have the same symptoms you speak of. My AHI was only two points higher than yours btw. I'm still struggling with accepting this 'treatment', but it's something that must be done. So far I don't feel much different, but I guess it takes time to reap the benefits fo...

I was diagnosed with mild OSA at 13 events per hour. As others have said, it may take some time (days for some, weeks for others - we're all different). Mine took a couple of weeks until I felt comfortable having the mask on at night, a few more weeks before I started feeling the benefits, now I can...
