Re: Want to hear amusing?
We had the same problem in our house. My daughter was so use to me snoring that she could hear me down the hall. Once I started using CPAP and the snoring stop she would check on me through out the night for about two or three weeks till she got use to the quiet. Funny what we get use to.

Re: What Did You Do Before This Forum?
I found this site three days into my treatment and I'm very thankful for the help that first month. I went back and reread what I was going through and I feel so lucky to have found this great website. Great people here and I read almost everyday but don't usually put my two cents in unless I feel t...

Re: didn't sleep during titration
My doctor wanted to do a titration study but I said no way. One time in a sleep lab was enough for me. She gave me a APAP and I did it at home and with the help of this site. To this day she is very impressed with my knowledge and lets me make the adjustments that I want and just follows up with the...

Re: Too much snoring - help
I was experiencing the same thing. My AHI was under 1 but I had a lot of snores. Over the last two weeks I have raised my bottom number to be very close to my average and my top number to be 4 above. My snores have gone from 20 or more events to under 5. I think I'm sleeping better and I'm not wakin...

No Power.....Ugh!!
It finally happened after 2 years of being a hosehead. We lost power at 1:40 this morning and it's didn't come back on till 6:15, right when it was time to get up for work. Needless to say I have only had three hours of sleep and I'm wiped out. Time to look for a battery back up because it was a mis...

Re: Do You Go To Your Sleep Doctor If You Are Doing Well
My Mom has only been using CPAP for under a year so the doctor wants to keep track of it since my Mom has some difficulty keeping the mask on. The doctor mentioned that she has to send in the report to Medicare for coverage. I will double check with my Mom if that is the case, I don't handle her ins...

Re: Do You Go To Your Sleep Doctor If You Are Doing Well
I went to the first follow up and the next yearly but she said I don't have to come back for at least two years. I have done great with the help of this board so no need. My Mom on the other hand needs to go yearly because of her health problems and Medicare compliance requirements.

Re: 2 Yrs and a few months - Check up
I have lost 40lbs, done 2 5K's and my daughter says it's too quiet in the house since I no longer snore. LOL I'm generally asleep within minutes of hosing up and I rarely wake during the night or take naps. I believe that I had OSA since my late teens/early 20's cause I would be up a number of times...

2 Yrs and a few months - Check up
Yesterday was my yearly check up and I have to say it went GREAT!!! Since I have spent a lot of time here reading I have learned so much and have been very active in my own treatment. The doctor said that I don't have to come back for 2 years. She said she wasn't concerned with my treatment or my kn...

Re: Travel/Hotel Question
I have traveled quite a bit with my machine and have never had a issue. As a matter of fact, never even thought about putting it away. I leave the mask hanging over the hose buddy and go about my day. Now you guys have me all worried.....yikes!!!

Quick questions: What cheap hook up would work for my machine since we will not have electricity and I don't have $250 right now to buy the nice battery back up??
