If you are near the Phoenix area, you might try Dr. Leonard Moss and is the Medical Director at Neuro Diagnostic Sleep Centers. 602-424-4450. http://www.neurodiagnosticlabs.com. He is board certified in Sleep Medicine and took a genuine interest in me. He oversaw my Sleep study and was willing to pr...

I am a side sleeper with a nasal mask. I just purchased a buckwheat queen size from "72 Beans" thru Amazon in mid April. It is a lot of pillow and very heavy but so far I love it. The quality is really solid. I feel cooler and find myself switching positions a lot less then my down pillow. My leak r...

A few spoonfuls of Metamucil a day will help keep your colon happy. Plus if you can choke that down first thing in the morning, anything else you have to face that day should be easy.

I have the Elan. I switch off between that and the Resmed Mirage FX. I find it to be comfortable and very light on my face. It is well made and very compact for travel. I have had some soreness right under my nose which I have alleviated by using some moleskin as extra padding. It feels like blowing...

I am pretty new at the whole CPAP lifestyle as well. My advise to you is that you do a lot of reading on this forum and educate yourself rather than simply trust what the Doctor or DME tell you. What I have learned here saved me from a disastrous start and possible early termination (of both CPAP th...

I'm a new user and I have a goatee. I would switch my mask before I shaved off my goatee. I use a nasal mask. I switch between the ResMed Mirage FX and the Circadiance Elan.

I haven't noticed that at all. Sorry to hear you are experiencing it. Like Palerider mentioned, I had a clicking type noise in my hose from rain out before I switched to a heated hose. I hope you get to the root of it quickly. Like a ticking clock, once you hear it , it is hard to ignore.

I've been using mine since Jan 7th and have had no problems. DME translation may be " You don't want that Mercedes Benz - but I can sell you this Ford for the same price.

I will have been on CPAP for one month tomorrow. I can't believe how well it has gone. I am sleeping 7-8 hours and have little problem with leaks or adjusting to the mask. My sense of improved energy and improved clarity is gradual but noticeable. I had some soreness on the bridge of my nose and an ...

Thanks
I have the prescription and my sleep study rerults. Will download sleppyhead tonight

I just got back from my first meeting with my DME. I left with a new ResMed Airsense 10 Autoset. That would not have happened if without the advice of this forum. Prior to my follow up meeting with my sleep doc, I read on this forum about getting a prescription for a specific machine. My sleep Doc w...
