Look into CBD hemp oil to smooth out angst and stress. Research carefully for quality and a proven company. There are many products out there trying to cash in on the craze with questionable products. Doctors won't help you with it. See Hemp CBD oil to treat sleep apnea in this forum. CBD seems to help me take away "edginess" and with a calming effect. I'm 12 days into BIPAP use and finding the right mask, but hopeful. ;-)

Only a 7 day user of BPAP Resmed Aircurve 10 S, so no inputs on those. Still trying to get a mask to work well. For those who mentioned anxiety and energy level suspicions, you might look into acupuncture and/or using CBD hemp oil. The oil seems to have helped my edginess and anxiety in last 30 days. When asking Drs. about CBD they smile and offer no opinions. Many users claim it helps them. Some of my Drs.have patients who claimed it helped. It's pretty new and big Pharma can't make any money on it. We're on our own out here. I thank contributors on this Forum and God, hoping we all get better.

I tried to download to my laptop 2/7 and could not get to work.

Thanks, bonjour. Looks very helpful. Maybe nmsalem could create as part of research effort? I agree with Ruby re:Vendor sponsorship unless it was done w/o vendor bias, which would gain considerable goodwill and readers would probably consider their products. NO vendor bickering would be allowed.

Bravo, bonjour. How about an online webinar series? Many people/authors use this to introduce their products. DME's probably wouldn't do it. They seem to want people in the dark...w/o knowledge. I'm only on 5th day and frustrated about F20 mask with my BiPAP Resmed Aircurve 10 S and wanting to swap to an Auto version. Don't know how to finance a webinar... W/O this forum and all the great participants, I'd be more in the dark. Looking for the light at the end of the tunnel!

Thanks, bonjour. Dr. prescribed BiLEVEL. I guess to enhance my exhale function after 2 sleep studies, 1]one no mask, and 2] with F20 mask and BiPAP. Before starting use, discussion with Dr. gave me impression that he didn't favor AUTO model (maybe too many variables?) but that he could reset AUTO and take those features out of play. Does this make sense? Now had only 5 sessions.

[With modifications from previous post] Thanks for this discussion. I'm new to this world of challenge! From this great forum, seems to be best equipment guess by the Dr. then trial and error and lots of self data eval and user guessing, until best or tolerable sleep is found. Anybody tried the new Resmed N30i? [2 wk wait for me it's so new] Or the two DreamWear versions I've seen online. Had my BiPAP Aircurve 10 S w/humidifier for only 4 days and don't like F20 full face. Obstructs vision and must set too tight to overcome leaks. Pressure set to 12-16. Don't sleep opening my mouth and totally sleep on back. Also want the Auto version of BiPAP 10 S instead since it seems to be same price with added capabilities. We'll see how well my Cigna Healthsprings handles that swap. Told I have 30 day window to get best solution by Sleep Center coordinator working between doctor and DME on 13 mo rent to own. FWI - LOFTA offers a 30 nights - risk free. Have no affiliation, just found webpage with good info. https://buyminicpap.com/collections/pillow-masks Also have SleepyHead SW thanks to Sierra's suggestions. Only 4 days data. Actually only 3 since day 1 was crazy adjustment to mask. Looks like good analysis, with much to learn. Passed SW info on to others in industry I've talked to who surprisingly to me never heard of SleepyHead!
