Re: at a bit over 8 hours for the week!

I'm pretty awake. Before I wanted to nap and couldn't keep my eyes open if I sat still.

at a bit over 8 hours for the week!

I've been using it 8 hours a night and not taking it off without knowing it. I also have a new job that is physically tiring so that has helped me get some good night's sleep.

Re: I'm New - almost met compliance

I am not worried about complIance now. My sleep has been pretty good. I'm bipolar and that, more than the cpap, has been affecting my sleep. It's a bad combo sleep apnea and bipolar as the bipolar messes with your sleep and lack of sleep makes bipolar symptoms worse and apnea makes it hard to get co...

Re: DME wants my data card. Not sure I believe them.

Do you have a follow up/check up? I'm supposed to bring everything with me that day, including the card to be read.

Re: I'm New - almost met compliance

I just talked with the med equipment place. OMG I feel so much better! She was so nice. She said I DO have 90 days. And the 30 days is just a check up. And that everything I described is normal and its great that I have upped my hours so much this last week. Yay! Not sad now.

Re: I'm New - almost met compliance

If I don't meet compliance, they will charge me for the machine. That is all the money I make in a month. I hope you are right but I signed that idiot yellow piece of paper. I can get the mask on ok. And I've woken up with the HOSE unattached! I don't undo that, for sure. My ramp is set from 4-13 bu...

Re: I'm New - almost met compliance

So I had been going up by 12 minutes a night. And this morning I looked and my numbers are exactly the same. I also checked the part where it says number of nights over 4 hours. It says 9. I'm done for. I have one week to make it 21. The math doesn't add up. I keep waking up with the mask off. Maybe...

My first week was a disaster. I never made 4 ...
