I have been a hosehead since May 2011. My AHI is below 1 95% of the time, so have had no real problems with my treatment. I bought a Zeo during the summer just to check it out but didn't really use it much. I'm not really sure if it was accurate but I thought to give it another try. I wore it all ni...

With the help of the great people on this board I changed my machine and started reading my own reports. When it was time to go to the doctor and she noticed the machine was set different I pulled out my reports and we went over them together. She was impressed that I knew what I was talking about a...

So I got my Zeo on Thursday and wear it for the first time Friday night which I knew would be a bad night. It was birthday night out so lots of heavy pasta dinner and lots of drinks. Got 5 hrs and very little rem or deep sleep but I thought it would be a bad night and it was. Last night my 22 yr old...

Mike, Welcome!!! You have come to the right place. I'm on APAP and I have been helping my Mom (72 yo)on BiPap with the help of this board. She was fighing at first but I do have her all settled in now with the correct settings and a mask that works great for her. It won't have been as easy if it was...

I started a year ago and when I started I was doing it for myself but the benefit to my daughter has been huge. She said that my snoring was so bad that when I started on the machine and the house was now quiet at night she had a hard time falling asleep. I had two really scary events within a week ...

Pugsy, I follow your posts and suck in all the great information you relay to us. I'm wanting to try the Aloha mask, sounds like something that would be great for me.

Today is my one year anniversary for being a hosehead!!! I really have to thank everyone on this board, especially Pugsy!!! I really didn't think I would make it after that first week I had. I was in such bad shape I was crying at work and thinking this was never going to work for me. I found this b...

Thanks for the replies. I know she needs a chin strip because I have been reading her reports. The sleep clinic wanted her to use a FFM but it is too uncomfortable for her so we are using the Swift LT for her with a chin strap. If she doesn't use the strip she says that her mouth opens and she gets ...

Hi, I have been working with my Mom on using the CPAP machine. She has done very well but has had problems with the chin strap. She won't use a FFM, as soon as I mention it might be the best option she says she won't use the machine than. So I'm making it work with what we have, my take is something...

After a couple of phone calls with my Mom and Lincare, they are overnighting my Mom the mask that I wanted her to try. I will send back the one they left today but they didn't take the first mask back. I think that is strange but I will double check the billings to make sure they don't pass the cost...

That is what I thought! Ugh, I'm so frustrated. So the Tech with Lincare came out (20 mins ago) and left a nasal mask that I did not ask them to bring or did I order. I wanted my Mom to try the Swift LT for Her which they also brought. I think my Mom got confused which is very easy these days and ac...

I have been helping my Mom with CPAP. She has been using the machine for 2 weeks. I asked Lincare to bring her a new mask which they bought out today. The tech informed my Mom that she could only try two of them, so they will not exchange for anymore. Is this Medicare or Lincare's rules, does anyone...

Woo Hoo...Mom used the machine last night in her home for the first time and was very sucessful!!! She said she went to bed at 11, woke at 3:30 for a bathroom break and right back to bed on the machine. Woke when my Dad got up at 5:30 but fall right back to sleep till 7ish!!! She normally gets up an...

It's the PS 1 Bipap Auto...no pro in the title. My mistake.

Pugsy, She is not using the same DME as I did. She is using Lincare since they deliver her O2 and they will home deliver which is easier since she isn't driving yet. I told him that I wanted her to have the PS 1 pro Bipap Auto. He told me that he was ordering it so when she hit compliance that it wo...
