results from the first night!!!

Post by jsmith1984 » Wed Mar 21, 2007 7:48 am

I picked my cpap up yesterday... Finally. I got it home and set it up in our room. I played with it for a while to make sure I remembered how to operate it, then I left it alone. I was really tired from work, so i figured I would take a quick nap to make sure I could sleep with it. I only slept for about 1 hour, but I woke up and felt really good, except my chest hurt from trying to push the air out. Well I finally went to bed last night at 1 am. I couldn't sleep! I was still awake from where I had took that nap earlier. I laid there for about 2 hours before I drifted off. I was up at 7 am. I didn't feel really good right when I woke up, but I felt rested. its almost 10 am now and normally I would be drifting off at work right now ( not a good thing where I work) but I have plenty of energy. The best thing about the whole deal is that finally, after 5 months, I can sleep with my girlfriend and wake up in the morning and she is still there. I haven't talked to her yet to see how I did, but she was asleep in less than 10 mins. The mosthumorous thing here is she always complained about my snoring, and guess what... SHE SNORED!!! hehe now I can pick on here tonight when I get home. I still may have to play with my pressure a little, hopefully someone here can tell me how to do it, once I get my specs up. Thanks for all your help. Thanks to you guys and gals, I knew what to ask, and when to ask it.

Please, fill out your profile, so those of us with your equipment can comment. It sounds like you are off to a good start. My first question would be: does your machine have EPR or Cflex?
