Sounds like you're making progress, HT! I'm hopeful for you!

Sounds like it will be an adjustment, but I'm sure it will be good for you in the end. Seems like many things are like that, now that I think about it. Thinking of you.

Sounds encouraging!!

Improvement already? That is a great sign...and I am sure it is going to just get better from here.:)

Great job on getting it all arranged, set up and in use...no small feat!

I hope that your mood is starting to lift as well...like I mentioned in the other thread...please don't hesitate to call on a trusted friend, your sis...and especially your doctor, if you feel like you can't wait it out till your appointment next week.


...but back on topic for this thread...congrats again, and more good sleep be yours!

It took me almost a year to get used to mine, I'm highly catastrophic, especially with anything on my face But to get used to it, I used to put it on before I'd fall asleep while watching tv, it seemed to help. I still put it on while watching tv, but usually after the mask is on it sets off my sleep timer and I'm usually passed out in 15-20 minutes. It takes getting used to it but once you do, it will be like you never slept before. :) Best wishes.

It'll get easier. I don't use one but my best friend and her husband do and they say it changed their life. No more fatigue in the day.

It'll become the norm soon!

Hugs

I should be getting mine next week. I was told that it will have a wireless modem that sends info to the doctor and if I don't use it at least 4 1/2 hours medicaid will take it. Glad you had some good results and it will probably get even better. I can't wait.

got 2 hours sleep. flow seemed too much, try down a little, tight chest, dry mouth. used some ventolin. keep tryin'. try adjusting.cheers. trial and error.

Yes...keep trying, and hang in there...

From what others are saying, (and what I've heard from aquaintences) it takes some time and adjustment, but once you get the right settings, and used to it...there are dramatic results!!

Keep positive, as I know you will! :)

Pleased to hear positive news. I found the diagnostic sleep study horrible (couldn't cope with the tube up my nose) and the diagnostic study ok with regards to the mask but problematic with regards to all the other "connections".

However, I had no problem adapting to CPAP (nose mask) itself and, a year in, there has been no issues at all and it's frankly been a relief to look forward to having a decent sleep.

We're all "wired differently" but if you can adapt smoothly the regime is very simple with regards to maintenance and the overall benefits can be very positive. Hope you stick with it

Hang in there HT- you'll get it right and there will be a epiphany!

All my best for great success!
