Phantosmia/Bipab/not sleeping?

Weird, but just may be, me or there is some truth to this? About two months ago started smelling an electric burning smell in the house. Got an electrician in. Got the AC people in. They couldn't find or smell anything. Is it my myasthenia gravis or something else? (Neurologist never heard of this r...

Making good progress...but..?

Have mentioned this before, and sure I'm not the only one with this issue and I have tried all different masks. Getting more sleep for someone who just cannot get to sleep without pills(have reduced) and a great improvement with my "events" plus leakage. Leakage under 10 and events per hour 1.5. Tha...

Re: F&P Nova Micro Nasal Pillow Mask

With either the P10 or the F&P does the air pressure released, come anywhere near the eyes and if so, how strong? I have the one that fits on top of my head(P30i, I think,) as a stomach sleeper mostly, and feel the hose does not get in the way, but also sleep on my side at times, albeit getting leak...

Re: Having issues. Insomnia makes my Bipap not practical?

Thx Miss Emerita, Excellent replies and agree with all. I tried to tell my Neurologist that Insomnia is connected to MG as confirmed by many MG people on a forum I visit and nice to hear back from a person that understand this condition to start with. My Neuro seems to believe this not to be the cas...

Re: My next experiment....the AirSense 11 AutoSet

Just catching up here and thx Pugsy for all. Not a frequent poster, as eyes are bad and someone reads this to me(Just did a post on Insomnia) so I do thank all the posters here for such great info, but it never occurred to me to alter the humidity setting, its always been on auto, particularly as Im...

Having issues. Insomnia makes my Bipap not practical?

Was doing really well with my machine, was getting 7-8 hours of sleep, last April to around July and for me, getting under 5 events per night was great and felt so much better. Then in SW Florida, last year, around Aug, Sept and onwards with the various hurricanes, all hell broke loose, and I believ...

Mountjaro and sleep apnea. 60-70% success?

Forgive me if this has already been mentioned, but I heard today they are hoping to get this passed by years end. It could help me and hopefully others as I'm afraid I had to stop using my machine due to severe dryness of the eyes(I could hardly open them in the mornings) which somehow was getting i...

Re: CPAP journey - 18 months in

Hi there bran, Sounds like you are doing well after just a couple months! Re: the weight, there is quite a bit of research out there suggesting a link between CPAP and weight gain but what I saw didn't seem to be conclusive and I didn't see any suggested causal link. I'm pretty sure I gained a good...

Re: Mysathenia Gravis and Bipap Machine

I do not know if they would help or hurt in your situation but you might talk to an ENT doc about your problem and what you think it is and would something like "lacrimal plugs" be indicated as a possible solution for your problem. I think I may have worked this out, thx to this great board and one...
