I did, too. The sleep center said I "woke up" 24 times an hour. It's less than half that now. Furhter pressure adjustments may happen in the future.

Another plus to the study was the discovery that I have RLS. That's been stopped with Miraplex.

Tell your wife to stop putting the pillow on your face.



Have you tried Breath Rite nose strips? Could be as simple as that. Hopefully it doesn't require surgery.

Thanks alot. Have done strips and snore stop for months with little help. it gets worse with time and I find myslef waking up and sleeping light. i use to do the log thing with tons of energy. Red eyes, some bags, so I know I need help. The old man was thin and did the same thing so I know it's more then the tonage. How did your wife react to the noise of the machine?

She tries to smother me with the pillow also.


It might require corrective surgery. But maybe Ken has a better explanation.

I inquired about the surgery because I had no problem with doing it, but I was told it's only effective in a relatively small percentage. Of that number, a large percentage relapse. I don't know why.

I have a relative that's an example of that and now has to take another test to get the machine.

The tonnage doesn't help, however, I lost 40lbs, to a normal weight, and still did it.

The noise isn't a problem. It's very rythmic.

The problem was me getting used to it, always moving around. Sometimes I'd take it off and leave the machine on. That's pretty loud. When the mask is on you, it's very quiet.

I looked into one of those masks, but the wife said it'd scare her.

" go get the gimp"
"the gimp is sleeping"
"well wake him up!"

I think that was all fiction.

I did and they didn't help at all. The problem is soft tissue at the back of the throat falls down and blocks the air passage causing you to stop breathing.

used2sell, also consider getting a battery back-up. A woman died a few months ago when the power went out and she couldn't breath. I'm pretty sure she had a full-face mask, tho. Mine just covers the nose.
