Last night was the first time in months that I slept for over 8 hours and it certainly makes a huge difference in how I feel this morning. I had not been sleeping well for months before my previous machine broke, so I'm assuming that my quality of sleep was affected by a failing machine and older ma...

Thanks, Pugsy, you're right. I'll do that from now on.

If he can barely stay awake at night, that can be a passion killer too.

Go to bed early, put the mask on and read in bed. Make sure you put the mask on while you read, and if you fall asleep with the lights on, no big deal. At least you will have the machine running and the mask on. Eventually, after you catch up on sleep, you may not have to resort to such measures, bu...

I recently got diagnosed with OSA, and I'm considering pharyngoplasty - has anybody had any success with surgery? A bit about me: I'm male, fit, asian, in my late 20's. I travel a lot and it'd be extremely difficult for me to carry a machine around for the rest of my life, and I don't see my physic...

Here's mine as shown in Dream Mapper. Nobody else looks at your account so I think the only reason they want it is to give you help and ads based on your machine. If this doesn't match your serial number format, you might try entering this number like this, and change a digit or two near the end (j...

I tried to register my machine on the dreammapper app, and it keeps telling me my serial number is wrong, but it can't be. The serial number begins with SN, and the app keep telling me that the serial number should begin with a P or a J. This is driving me nuts. Has anyone else had this problem? Wha...

I'm not sure if this will work, but here is a picture of my mask. It's just become available, and I had a great night's sleep with it. I had a good sleep and I feel great this morning!

Already on my to do list now that I have the prescription in hand.

I haven't been around in quite some time - no problems until my machine failed and had to jump through hoops with Medicare. I now have a Resmed Airsense 10 and a new avant-garde mask- the Phillips Respironics DreamWear Gel Pillows Mask. Because I had another insurance when I was first diagnosed with...

I find that I have a lot of sinus drainage if I am unable to use my cpap and this can cause a sore throat. Apparently, the air that is blown through my nose dries up my sinus passages, and this is a win, win situation for me.

I am sorry about your loss. I know you are probably feeling guilt-ridden, but as someone said, you have to take care of yourself first if you''re going to be able to take care of someone else. I too put off calling back or checking on my mother at times, and then I finally do get back with her and a...

I've lost 130 pounds (without bariatric surgery) but still use my machine. First of all, my sinuses need the humidified, filtered air. Secondly, I still get the occasional hypopnea but I am able to use the machine on apap mode with far less pressure. I love breathing the filtered air, and even thoug...
