Topic: three's a crowd
Tonight is the last night my husband and I will sleep alone. 
Cpap is coming in the morning. I know I need it but still the thought of that on me every night makes me 
I guess if I can finally get some good 
it will be worth it.
Just wondering, how do you all like yours?
Thanks for listening,
Jolene

Topic: no apnea but .....need oxygen
Has anyone had that happen ? My PA called today and said that I don't have apnea but I do snore and need oxygen. She said no Cpap but something else , I don't remember what she called it. I don't like anything on my face ! I even got a little 
when I went for the pulmonary test and they had to put that clip on my nose ! Hubby thinks it is just a way for the ins to pay out more. What do you think ?

I have done nose enemas 
but I've never heard it called that. I actually had sinus surgery in '95.
I have started using the thing again. I can't handle all night; but I go as long as I can. I actually wake up frequently fighting the mask. I guess you just do what you can until you have a better choice.
Thanks to all

Topic: RE: Problems with sinuses
Hi Shelly,
I have horrible sinuses as well. My PCP sent me home one day with a bucket and a hose to do what I call nose enemas with sal****er. It will bring tears to your eyes but since I have been doing that my sinuses are sooooo much better.

Topic: RE: pressure number
My number is 8 and I also have severe apnea. My brother, who is not overweight, has much stronger pressure than I do - at least in the high teens. Hope this helps!

Topic: RE: Dry Mouth?
OH THANK GOD!
Thanks for these postings, I was about to lose my mind! I am not alone.
I printed this out and will go home and try it but not sure it if will work, not sure if the model is the same but believe me I will try.
I wondered if I just didn't need that much air now also. I did try sleeping without it but I don't think I can yet.
Thanks so much.
Topic: RE: pressure number
Sarah,
I know what you mean about the number. Here is what I have been told the setting, in your case 7, is the amount of pressure it takes to open your airway back up. From what I understand, it has nothing to do with the episodes per hour. My setting is 18, where my Dad is only set at 5 and we were both told we have severe apnea. Not sure if this helps.

Topic: pressure number
Hi,
I've seen others post about their "number" for their machine. It seems like most people are in the mid-to-upper teens. I'm just wondering about that, because the people who did my sleep test told me I had severe apnea (70 episodes per hour), but my number is only 7. That sounds weird, if I have such severe apnea. What do you all think?
