I wish you luck... I've had my cpap since Dec and still have problems using it. It takes forever for me to fall asleep with it (I usually hit the ramp button several times before dozing off) and once it's up to full pressure it wakes me up. It's loud and cold and makes my sinuses hurt. I feel that I actually "sleep" better without it but I was diagnosed with severe apnea so I know I don't get quality sleep. Sorry to be so negative but I feel like it's a catch 22 situation where you're damned if you do and damned if you don't use it. Toni

My number is also 11, but I was told it was severe. I was also given a "bottom" number, which is 4. I am not sure what the bottom number means, except that my machine will ramp up from 4 to 11 over 20 minutes. Cheryl

Hi! I am new to this board and thought this would be a good question to start on. Let me start off by giving some of my history: My Hubby says I snore, I deny it hehe. When I sleep, I tend to stop breathing, my test showed 6 times in a 20 min span! I hardly would hit REM sleep and my oxygen levels bounced in the low 60s. I never felt rested and had a hard time waking up in the mornings, I wonder why! I am now the proud owner of the Comfort Curve mask and love it! It is less constrictive then any other ones I tried and I can wear my glasses to watch tv before bed with the mask on. I would recommend it as it comes with a small, medium and large nose piece so you can fit yourself and not have to go in for a fitting or guess when you order it. Here is a link if you are interested! http://www.cpapxchange.com/cXc-bm-products/mask-comfortcurve.html Hope the info helps, Amy Cooper

my pressure number is 4 to start out then 6 and its an adjustment but its for our good and the chin strap helps. but can any one tell me if they had to take it with them to surgery?

No they didn't but when the girl calls again to set up for delivery I will ask her. Sure hope they can drop it and run because my bedroom is a total mess.....LOL
