Hi. I was recently diagnosed with severe sleep apnea. I hated the idea of a biPAP and everything associated with it. The "mask face," the mask leaking, the mask "farting," etc., etc. I just wanted to spread the word about a product I found a month...
I have it and think it's because my mask leaks air. Or at least I noticed it's worse when it happens.
Does anyone else have this problem, I never had bags under my eyes until I started using a CPAP. Is there any remedy for this?
I thought I would let you know that I just saw a You Tube video talking about Remzzzs & how the idea was born. It even shows the inventor's picture as his voice tells the story...pretty cool. This product has been so helpful to me, I wanted to let...
A sponge, hadn't thought of that. I have bought a few different materials to try but the quilt batting, that is a good idea. Thanks for the info, I will be trying them all!! What mask do you use, mine is Comfort Gel.

I had that problem too originally with CPAP, but that was solved along with the even greater problem -- the leaks and squeeks and beeps. I made a gasket for myself.
I tried several masks and started wondering what kind of mis-shapen face must I h...
Since I got Remzzzs at www.remzzzs.com I don't get marks anymore. I have sensitive skin so that was probably the problem. I bought a months supply months ago, I wash them with my mask, lay it flat to dry and only have to change it once or twice a ...
I just started using CPAP. I was told that I was getting red marks, that the mask was to tight on my face. Do you know for sure you have the proper fit? That could possibly be the cause of those red marks too? Also it could be some kind of irritat...

- Diane, wondering how your sore nose problem is doing? Did you try that product-remzzzs? It did help heal my nose sore up in about a week.

- Just glad I can help! I'll be interested in how it works for you too. Being 55 myself, I was concerned that I'd look like a leather football from not being able to use face cream at night. I hated that! But I can use my regular night time face products again & am a happy camper!

- I used to have that problem. In fact, I was tightening my mask so much to try & get the air to stop leaking...that I ended up having vision problems!! My eye doctor made me promise to not use the mask for 2 weeks just to see if the vision would improve...which it did. At this point I really began searching for an answer. Not long after I was told about the RemZzzs & was able to be part of a testing program. Truthfully, this has made it comfortable to wear my mask all night long. I still wake up if I'm thirsty or to use the restroom...but not because of air leaks or discomfort! Good luck & I hope you find the answer for yourself too!

I recently found Xyrem and it is the only sleep aid that works for me consistantly. I know that it is prescribed for narcolepsy but many with ME/CFS are now using it as well. Mr Doctor prescribed the free sample and now I am looking patient assist...
oh i know i just went to see a new doc and he wants me to change all my meds and only gave me 20 pills of 5mg ambien for 2 months, he was a jerk and so i will fire him and look else where. it took me a long time to even start to sleep now this new...
I've noticed people have mixed feelings about Ambien...I'm one of them. One time I took it, and was out for a good 8 hours...no problem. My mother had it, and it only worked for 4 hours for her. My Dad (since deceased) had Sonata, and since I'd lo...
I still haven't found the right med(s)...or I'll become immune to the effects, and need to figure something else out! It's exhausting! Then someone will tell me about something that works for them...I'll ask a few questions about side effects and ...
i am having trouble with the ambien not working but i dont know of anything else that has worked on me i been on so many things!!
i am the same way . i had a nervous breakdown 9 years ago now and i have had to be on 1 mg. lor. and 5 mg. plus seraqual. i hate it but if i dont take it i do not sleep. i wantthe sleep not the pills but i dont know of any other way to get sleep.i...
i always knew that i good 8 hours of night sleep will help to to feel better and to look better that why sleep 8 hours is so important good sleeping habits.
what does xyrem do? does it make you go to sleep and then help you wake up
