I have been on CPAP now since Sep of last. I use a heated hose and humidifier. lately I have noticed that during the night and when I awake, my mouth is so dry that I swear I'm not going to be able to even open it! I have tried turning the humidity way up and that doesn't help either. Anyone else ex...

I used to retire around 8:45/9:00 p.m. and find myself awaking around 1/2 a.m. and then tossing and turning till five. Well, I talked to my doctor about it and he wanted to know if I was actually sleepy when I retired. I said, "NO!" He said, then why don't you go to bed around 11:30 or so...do that ...

I have been using this product now for some five months. Just the other day I noticed the "DANGER" symbol on the container. It saying that one should wear gloves whenever handling this stuff. Well, the only time my hands would come into contact with the stuff was in the diluted form, while I was eit...

Back in Sep of last, I went to the sleep clinic here located in the Northwest. All they did was to show me the equipment...demonstrate its use, how to clean it and sent me on my way! It was set up with a range of 4 to 20. And that is all she wrote. Since then, I have called and gotten new masks. I'm...

Around Feb 15th I awoke one morning with the worst plugged nose I had every had in my life. From their on out, things got worse. I was having constant headaches & nausea, pulsating noises in my head and my blood pressure rose. I finally got in to see my doctor and he said just congestion and told me...

Thanks!

Does anyone know which buttons to press so as to reset the data on this machine of mine? I have an auto M-series. Thanks!

I've only been on CPAP since Sep of last. Allergies kick in for me somewhere around Feb. I have come down with the worst case I can ever remember!!!! I am on a nasal spray and ChlorTabs. I do hope this clears up soon. I don't know since when I've felt so rotten.

[quote="Lineman"]Pardon me if this has been covered before .... Snoredog suggested using a small (1000 watt) Honda generator as a backup power source. I think that is a good idea and not too far out of line costwise given the high cost of quality (AGM) batteries. That is if (like me) you need to run...

O.K., now of those here on this board who have one, how is this device benefiting you? It is a lot of money to be putting out for a device such as this. Have you done any experiments with them such as one night NOT using your mask to see what results you get? Tell me this, if your blood/oxygen level...

I couldn't tolerate taping, and I tried the chinstraps, but couldn't stand having it wrapped around my head or the cup design that actually pulls the chin back. So, I came up with my own design, have used it for two weeks, no more mouth breathing or dry mouth! Decided to make more of these and set ...

The February/March issue of "Scientific American" has a short article on "Panic Attacks" caused by an increase of CO2. The article is on page #11 and it's worth taking a look at.

Is this article on-line and if so, would you post here the link? Thanks!

Sounds exactly like what happens to me when I fall asleep without my equipment. Are you sure you're not having apneas? Before I got my equipment, that was one of the symptoms I complained about to my doctor. He said that was happening because I wasn't breathing, etc. When I got the equipment, that ...

Well, first of all, as you can tell by my avatar, I am a fit, virile. male angel! Right? Before being placed on CPAP therapy, I used to have difficulties in the erection arena. Now...not! I came across an interesting article talking about this matter... http://books.google.com/books?id=ZPApPOIFQoUC&...

Hmm. In the past two weeks I have had a bad one. My doctor placed me on something that I blow up my nose twice a day AND he wanted me to use "Simply Saline" as many times a day as I remember to. It seems to be working.
