I had a sleep study done back in November of 2019. I saw my sleep Dr. on Dec 2nd and on Dec 5th I picked up my machine from a local sleep company. It's a Dream Station with a full mask that goes under my nose and over my mouth, it's pretty nice. I started with the little mark that just goes under the nose but I didn't like the way it felt and switched.
My AHI on my first sleep test was 47.
I've used my machine everyday since Dec 5th and I must say, I don't have a headache 24/7 anymore nor do I require 2 naps a day. I still get regular headaches and take 1 nap or no nap but there is definitely a difference.
I just completed my second sleep study to get better readings for setting up my machine but I don't think I even slept. lol, weird bed, too hot, bad pillows, a million wires etc etc etc.
I live in Ontario (gov covers 75% of the machine) and I pay the rest which would be around $250 or so but I am on the Ontario Works program that covers the other 25% and gives me some basic money to buy supplies. I wash my stuff 1/2 times a week in soapy water and it seems to be ok.
I've imported all my data in to the Oscar program because I like to have access to my information, its like when I go to the dentist I like to get a copy of my x-rays because well, idk.. I just like to have that stuff.
I have no idea what I am looking at and I would like to see if I can improve my settings and what not.
Now that you have my story, I was wondering what information I could share to help me understand what the machine is actually doing and doing for me. Don't be afraid to be very specific on what information to share, like actually saying, click this button click this chart etc etc or showing me examples of what to post.
Thanks for reading.
