Tracy you are pretty jolly for someone that never gets sleep! I get cranky if I get less than 8 uninterrupted hours...

What happens if you lose your health insurance and your pump is on rent?

Ok, since there are several of you that use a CPAP, I'll ask here.

I've used it a whole 2 days now at home, and the main thing that I hate about it is that it's causing a dry mouth that just sucks.

The machine has a humidifier built in, and I've cranked that up, but the problem persists. The mask I have covers my nose only. I'm thinking I might swap it out for one that covers my mouth and nose and see if that helps.

What are y'all doing? If anybody says that's just the way it is, I might go postal!

....liar, liar, pants are on fire.....

After a while I stopped using the humidifier. The reason you have drymouth is because you haven't yet trained your jaw to stay shut...so after you fall asleep you are exhaling through your mouth...and all that excess pressure is drying out you tissues. Give it couple of weeks before you go to the full mask. I have one but only use it when I have sinus or cold issues.

Like my wife tells everybody...it took a while for me to learn to keep my mouth shut..........

Same thing that happens when you're dependent on prescription drugs and you lose your health insurance.

I've seen people selling them for as little as $100 on Craigslist, but I haven't gotten around to pulling the trigger on one yet. I've had to move into the guest bedroom because of my snoring

I'm curious as to my sleeping habits. I snore really bad, and sometimes i wake up gasping. I also can barely wake up in the morning, etc.

I wish I had insurance to actually check it out.
