Call me crazy but I am excited I got my cpap today!!!!!!!

HI everyone,  I am sooo excited I got my cpap today after two weeks of waiting.  I know the mask can be a pest but it does not really bother me.  I am looking forward to getting a good nights sleep for a change instead of waking up 3-4 times a night. 

Thats great! What kind of mask do you have? I have one that goes over my chin,mouth, and nose with the straps all over my head. It took quite awhile for me to get used it. Let us know how you do with it!      

I have the optilife nose pillows  but I also have the respironics gel mask.  I willlet you know how it goes. 

what are the optilife nose pillows?? Does it just go over the nose, thats what I want to try next...let me know how they work!

The nose pillows only go into the nose, it is not like a mask that coves the nose/mouth.  it does have head gear but it is great if you wear glasses or read before you fall asleep.

that sounds great! How was your first night with the cpap?

it was ok not great but I am still getting used to the machine.  I was also PMSing, so... I will probably do better tonight will keep you posted.  I still had a pretty good night. 

Hi, I have the cpap already two months and still i try to get use to it and its hard i don't even notice when i get up and turn it off what number is your machine?

I've been on cpap for a year now and it has changed my life.  I am not as sleepy as I use to be during the day.  Sleep like a baby.  I tried the nose pillows, but I like the small mask over my nose best.  I am looking forward to getting my weight off so I don't have to use it anymore, but I will actually miss my cpap.  It makes a soothing sound as well as helping me sleep.  Good luck. 

I'll bet you wake up a lot more than that!  I am happy for you.
