Thanks for asking, Patty. I've been using a CPAP machine for about a week now. I don't really like it. Most nights I fall asleep and about two hours later I wake up. I try to get back to sleep with it on my face but most times I'm not able to do it. I take it off and I fall asleep a few minutes later. Some nights I'll wake up again between 4 and 5 am and I'm pretty much done for the night. Other nights I sleep until 6 or 6:30. My wife says I'm not snoring as much at night. I'm thinking that I may snore after I take it off, but who knows? One interesting thing I've noticed is that I don't seem to suffer from acid reflux when I use the CPAP. I'm not sure if it has just been coincidence this past week, or if there is a connection.
I need to call the supplier and tell them my experience and see if there is some adjustment needed. I'm supposed to keep it on for four hours a night or insurance won't pay for it. I think I made it to four hours one night out of seven.
Bottom line is that I'm still feeling very tired. I think I need to lose weight and exercise.

I'm still swinging away at it, Patty. The support team called today to see how I was doing. The thing has a modem of some kind and communicates with the shop. They knew I was having problems with it. They made some adjustments from their office based on my problems. I'll see how it goes tonight.
Jerry, the mask covers the nose and mouth. I tried a nose pillow during the introduction, but that won't work for me. I'm a mouth breather, so no choice.

I'll be honest the nose only ones aren't much better.
I'm getting ready to give mine back.
