Posted by Michron on November 16, 2010 at 18:27:14:I first posted on this forum when I started my CPAP treatment in 2001. I recieved a lot of good advice that helped me become a succesful CPAP user.
I didn't have a lot of the problems others have had but there were a few stones along the road...
I had to get a humidifier to combat the dried out sinuses I first experienced. I went through several designs of chin straps for mouth leaks, my only real CPAP issue. My original machine conked out a year ago and I got a new one. I have been using the nasal pillows since day 1 and have had good luck save for the occasional nose irritation. Overall I have had a positive experience.
A friend I work with was recently diagnosed with apnea and got his machine last week. I directed him here should he need assistance or advice.
