Babs,

Want that magic zero AHI? Take one of your NA II prongs, and insert it according to the diagram below.

Thanks for my morning chuckle, Snoredog!

If you don't like your DME, maybe it is because you went into your DME acting like an ass and you got treated the way you treated them. Insomniyak, Just a friendly warning. Gumby's been around a while, and has earned a reputation for himself on this board. This forum is like a big family - we have ...

You don't sound dense. It takes real ambition to want to learn about your condition and its treatment. Cut yourself some slack while you learn, and ask the forum anything you don't understand. I agree with Slinky and Bookbear, but if you're overwhelmed at the doctor's office, concentrate on walking ...

Welcome to the forum, Sleepswithcats! It is very hard to make sense of all of this when you're sleep deprived. When you go to the doctor's office to get your machine, here's a few ideas to keep in mind. 1. The choice of machine: Try to get one that records data, so that you and your doctor can monit...

Congratulations, Kharyssa! Your attitude is making all the difference in the world. The willingness to try new things is the key to keeping yourself comfortable and your therapy working.

I agree completely with Lee Lee, too. This is a journey, not a destination.

Keep on Hosin'!

Maybe she inherited more from you than your suave and debonair personality!

Hey, Sharon, I've been off the board for a week or so. Sorry to hear about your continuing struggles with CPAP. Have you stopped using a mouthguard? If so, maybe it's time to try one again? I couldn't sleep without mine at this point. Keep trying, Sharon, you're too important to too many people to g...

I can vouch for that. I know I was clenching my teeth before I got my machine, and it became a habit that I couldn't break even afterwards. So now I use a boil-n-bite mouthguard at night. It helps seal my mouth leaks, too.

Thanks for the post, Rooster,

Jen, your babies are ADORABLE! The sight of a newborn just turns me to jelly. I love the picture of the two boys, too. Glad to hear that things have been going better. I hope it's smooth sailing from now on!

Take Care,
Cathy

Jen, Congratulations on bringing Charlie into the world! I understand the frustration and weariness you must be going through. Babies are exhausting, and having a second one seems like there's 4 times the demands on your time. I echo the sediments of the others, you're a GREAT mom. You WILL do the r...

Good for you, Carbonman and EricT!! It is an alternate universe, so your perception is right on the money! What I have found is that I now wake up several times a night to reposition myself, my mask, and my hose. It's kind of an automatic thing now. But I go right back to sleep, and know that I'm ge...

Greenham,

Den has good advice. Is it possible also that your mask needs replacing? They can get leaky if they're too old.

Good luck, and keep us informed, so you can get back on track with your therapy.

Regards,
Cathy

Not to mention how many times a topic starts out one way, and goes completely off on a tangent. HA, just like me.

Dreamstalker, you're the bomb. Thanks for the point-by-point comparison.

Take Care,
Cathy
