Hey guys, No need to go to majorgeeks forum if someone has malware/trojan/virus problems. If you have questions or want some immediate things to try just send me PM or post off topic here. I have been specializing in malware removal for over 6 years now. I know lots of little tricks, all the tools I...

Tiny update: I found a suitable inexpensive wedge pillow that will fit along my spine and hopefully decrease my rolling over onto my back some. Found out today that my truck needs $400 worth of work done on it, truck insurance is due and no money at all left over to even consider a memory foam toppe...

Welcome Danibm, I am new also so probably all I can offer is moral support but I do have plenty of it and an little extra positive attitude I can toss your way if need be. On one hand I wasn't all that thrilled with being hooked up to a machine at night for the rest of my life but on the other hand ...

To Danibm: When you have time start a new thread and tell us a bit about yourself. Doesn't have to be a whole novel like I tend to write. Why were you told to use a mask? Why now are you using sleeping meds instead of the mask? Did you have a sleep study? Stuff like that. Gives everyone an idea what...

i love your attitude, i wish i shared it. right now i am afraid to try the mask again, i never got as far as tryin to tape with the nasal pillow type mask - i heard taping was dangerous? i may have to try it, or try something like a pain patch or pill or something so i can sleep with the mask. i am...

From Ozij links I spotted this and read it. Couple of Case questions regarding OSA, CPAP, leaks and a return of symptoms. Sort of explains with graphs how averages might look okay but someone still feels like no improvement or if they have backslid. http://www.thoracic.org/sections/education/sleep-f...

To Riverdreamer: I will see if I can sweet talk my mother out of one of her Lidocaine patches. She uses them on her feet. OMG they are so expensive though. Most of my pain is in the SI area, one patch would take care of it. Will let you know. To danib: I understand the neck pain from masks that are ...

To Riverdreamer: I took Soma for probably 15 years after the accident which broke all my bones. It did very well at night, with no daytime hangovers, initially but became rather ineffective or so I thought because about the time I complained about it not working well was when my BP started to rise a...

http://www.1800wheelchair.com/asp/view-product.asp?product_id=2334 I think a pillow along the lines of the one above might be worth looking at. Way too much money for that particular one but it is all I could find right now for an example. When I was an x-ray tech we used something very similar whe...

I wish I could take Advil or Motrin but any of the NSAIDs cause immediate abdominal pain. A mere small dose of any of the OTC levels cause such GI distress that I want to go to the ER and get a demerol shot. LOL I worked in a medical clinic for 20 plus years and have tried most of the NSAIDs. Even o...

I am asking for ideas on things to help me sleep just a little deeper and not have so many awakenings. I have some pain issues and those along with general apnea related awakenings keep me from getting as much recuperative sleep as I need. Last night cheated with Valium 5mg, got 9 hours on the machi...

Night #11, I won't post the graph this time. Lots of leaks but then that was no surprise but I did log 9 hours on the machine with 1 bathroom break and total AHI 3.9 (again mostly AI which seems normal for me). If I look at the first half of the night before I took the blue painter's tape off (cough...

Ahh, so sorry, it says the Comfort Gel Nasal would not be suited for me. Didn't even tell me a size that might work.

Wish I could take you up on your offer but they will be too large for me. I would love to try the comfort gel but I fear too big. I will go measure myself just in case though.

Last nights results. No bathroom break in middle of the night. I did have some awakenings for whatever reason, couple were mouth leaks, but none where I felt I was so awake I needed to get up. I did take 2 Ultram before I went to bed. In the past I either clean house all night or it helps me sleep. ...
