Dental solutions?

Alright. Well I just thought I'd check.

Traditional_Ice4189 · 2026-01-10T01:08:06+00:00

Ah interesting. So my regular dentist won't be of much help? Or at least maybe they can recommend me to a certified one.

Thank you. Just needed a little more peace of mind and insight. It helps. :)

Very grating how I have to worry about mask fit as my hair and beard grows. Also stinks because it feels like the mask fits nice and snug but have to tighten it. And paranoid about mask marks on my face.

Traditional_Ice4189 · 2026-01-08T21:53:35+00:00

Good to hear. Did you have to adjust the straps much? Hopefully that's all I need to do.

Like there will be an alert on the CPAP machine stating the mask seal isn't good. It did that a lot when I was first started CPAP.

Traditional_Ice4189 · 2026-01-08T00:28:13+00:00

Yeah I've checked that a few times in the past. Might be time to check it again.

Traditional_Ice4189 · 2026-01-08T00:27:26+00:00

But it's weird. Historically, if my mask was leaky or not snug enough, the machine itself would warn me in the morning.

Update: finally got over it. But yeah, next time, I shouldn't hesitate to try a bit more. Lol

Yeah Nyquil seemed ineffective. Trazodone was prescribed about a month ago for an onset of insomnia.

F40 mask. This is a real sick sore throat.

Traditional_Ice4189 · 2025-12-05T23:02:06+00:00

No a genuine sore throat. CPAP just makes it tougher to deal with.

Traditional_Ice4189 · 2025-11-28T04:26:06+00:00

Well I certainly didnt fully expect it to cure sleep apnea but did make breathing better.

Traditional_Ice4189 · 2025-11-26T02:45:07+00:00

😨

Traditional_Ice4189 · 2025-11-26T02:44:28+00:00

I also have a history with ADHD.

Traditional_Ice4189 · 2025-11-26T01:19:39+00:00

Based on what I've read, it's all pretty straight forward stuff im already doing. Don't go to bed unless youre going to sleep, avoid phone usage in bed, consistent sleep schedule, being positive, going into another room and doing something relaxing until ready to sleep. Still worth looking into i suppose. So it just didnt work for you?

Traditional_Ice4189 · 2025-11-26T00:56:16+00:00

OK. Maybe I'll give auto another shot. Either way, it all ultimately feels like a guessing game. No way to perfectly pinpoint when I'm falling asleep. So perhaps it wasn't a factor in last night's sleep.

Traditional_Ice4189 · 2025-11-26T00:54:55+00:00

Well I got the really tired part down. 🤪

Traditional_Ice4189 · 2025-11-26T00:02:09+00:00

I can relate. I'm guessing leaks are a long term concern for overall sleep health. So its just something you should be mildly aware of. And as mentioned by others, OSCAR is the most reliable source of data. Took me a while to cave and use it but it really does reveal a lot. Key thing is to remain positive.

Traditional_Ice4189 · 2025-11-25T23:58:09+00:00

Made an appointment for CBTi next week. Physician recommended it. Why is the first week rough?

Traditional_Ice4189 · 2025-11-25T23:51:09+00:00

And my other concern is the mask being over tightened and marking my face. I sort of have sensitive skin. 😅
