Sleep Apnea Support Group
Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder characterized by brief interruptions of breathing during sleep. People with sleep apnea partially awaken as they struggle to breathe, but in the morning they may not be aware of sleep disturbances.
tried really hard, failed. (for 10 days +, tried it at night and during the day)
the top of the head thingy slides off the top of the silky hair...needs a way to have traction, be more secure...
then i try to attach the blue strappy dealios over my ears and under my hair and cross the two staps across my head...doesn't stay tight, so i try to wrangle the two problem areas and get frustrated, feel completely discombobulated, can't get the thing to stay on tight.
i finally sort of get it on and it is not securely in place...the minute i lie down, it slides all over the road of my head like i'm an icy globe hazard...can't get this on...it's now an hour later and i'm hating life, wide awake...good mood shot, sleep deprived, now the insomnia is kicking in and i feel like i need something that stays in place securely, easy to put on my head in an efficient and manageable couple of steps...i'm usually pretty coordinated and bright...but i'm hating this whole situation and feel unhappy to who laid it...i just can't believe that this should be this difficult...frustrated and beyond needing a CPAP Manual for Dummies...I need the frustrated and pretty much quit program for eejits..........yeeeeesh.

They need to either get that mask to fit you right or get you a different type of mask.
Hope they can work this out soon for you...

I've called the outfit that brought me my mask and machine and I can't seem to get them to come back out. I wonder if people have been laid off due to the economy. so there is nobody to send.
I wish you the best of luck and don't ever give up. Using the CPAP is a matter of life or death. And we want you alive and well and bitching about sleep apnea along with the rest of us.
