I am going to the dentist tomorrow to have the fillings put in. I will ask him.

What type of sleep apnea?

Since I am at work, I do not have it here. It is a nose mask, that the tubing goes up and over my head. It is a very light weight mask.

There is no plastic bar on the forehead like the other one.

It is funny that the air escape is on the bottom of the mask, and my hands get cold.

I have had my CPAP for almost a month, and right now I am trying out my second mask. I am also trying to use 'moleskin' on the bridge of my nose to reduce soreness. I had noticed that when I go to sleep I grit my teeth. I am also so much more tired due to lack of sleep, which has caused even more gr...

I told my doctor that I was not in the position to pay out the money that Assistive Devices was not covering. I needed a place that would wait until I got my insurance refund. The doctor explained that he had alot of suppliers, and if one said no, he would just get another one. The first two were no...

I will not give up on the CPAP! Thank you for your encouragement! Last night I thought I slept pretty well (6 hours straight), but I feel more tired than usual. Interestingly, I found that the nose piece seemed more snug than usual, and I think that gave some comfort to allow sleep. I am at work, an...

The masks are very expensive. The one I tried is $200 Canadian. On Friday they are bringing me a new mask to try. After three days I have to decide which one I want. I will keep you posted. Since 3 this afternoon, I was ready to go to sleep for the night. I am really looking forward to getting a goo...

Rich...thank you. Every morning, I think...."Am I better rested?" Then I roll over and go back to sleep..........so I am waiting for the day that I can just WAKE UP!

Today I just asked the supplier for a new mask to try. The one I was using has caused sores on the bridge of my nose. The supplier told me that this is not supposed to happen....well...duh! I am not as tired as I was last week, but I do need to get a good nights sleep. I stopped using the humidifier...

If anyone is checking on my progress...I am tired and NEEEEEEEED sleep NOW

I will check it out. I have to learn the workings of this site. Thank you

Thank you, having a sense of humour has taken me through alot through life. When the technician was telling me about the hot plate for the water container to go on, I asked him when the buffet was being served Now I have to laugh....they have hose warmers? For some reason, I find that funny. Well, I...

From a Judith Anne to a Judith Ann, thank you. something to look forward to....being an experienced and well rested HOSEHEAD! My mother will be so proud of me! I am just so tired that I am tempted to not sleep with it for a night...knowing that is the wrong thin to do!

So far, you all seem like a wonderful bunch. I do not know the mask that I have, since I am at work and my mask is at home. I do feel comfortable in it. The technician said that I have a month to change the mask if I do not like it. He also said that in two weeks, we should know how much more he nee...
