Avatar f tn So I had a cold sore on my mouth...it's gone now so I went to put the pillow case in the washer....totally forgot to wash my hands afterwards and changed my daughters diapers...what is the risk?
134578 tn?1693250592 After all the stresses and hassles of learning the new format, thought I'd post something that was just social and ironic, probably will seem funny later. Our grey cat, Dark, has a cat flap, otherwise he drives me cuckoo begging and scratching several times every night at the door in our bedroom that goes to the deck. But having the flap is only the lesser of two evils, because he occasionally brings in live prey.
Avatar f tn TOTALLY agree with the Snoogle comment! I purchased mine at Burlington Coat Factory baby depot. The cost was $40 and as she said worth every penny! The only downside is the pillowcase costs almost as much as the darn pillow.

Avatar n tn I have been on cpap for 2 weeks now, I have had 4 different masks. I can fall asleep now no problem, but am waking up during the night and taking my mask off. It is getting very frustrating as I thought that this was a magical cure for tiredness but am getting so put off over the whole thing I feel like just giving up, have others had the same type of feeling?
5054005 tn?1362922551 It takes a while to find a mask or nasal pillows that work for you. You just have to keep trying. I made several appointlements with my Durable Medical Equipment provider to go there, and try on a couple of masks before selecting one and trying it. After 8 years, I'm about to start my third nasal pillow, the Philips DreamWear. With this one, I was a 5 month beta tester some time ago, so I have prior experience using it.
Avatar m tn I use a CPAP machine, with a nasal mask setting is 15. I do believe it makes me sleep better. However it causes serious gas especially in the morning. I know others have reported this problem but have yet to see a good answer.
1054090 tn?1343965695 If you do have sleep apnea, the treatment is that you will sleep with a CPAP machine. It stands for Continuos Positive Air Pressure. You wear a mask that blows air down your passages to keep them from closing when you sleep. Cause when they close is when you stop breathing. Id it is determined you have sleep apnea it is vital that you wear the cpap eveytime!! You can die from sleep apnea just as easily as a baby can die from sids.
107693 tn?1252864443 I am having a hard time gettting use to the CPAP. I asked for the nose pillow when i got the results, thinking that i would like it better, It has been two weeks so i asked for the small mask. I was also told that i need to use CPAP with the water. When i wake up I find the need to take it off, then when i go to put it back I get very anxious, palpitations or it feels that my heart is racing. So i sleep without it. I have thyrothis with six nodules. had a FNA results were negative.
287996 tn?1312023682 Hey chevy man. I've seen you around here for a long time. How about more details on the elevated pulse. How fast is it? and When does it occur? I too wear CPAP. I've used it for the last 6 years now, and it no doubt has saved me from an early, painful demise as I had very severe obstructive sleep apnea. Prior ro getting on it, I had been waking up with a pounding pulse in the middle of the night. It wasn't SVT (which I had), but an elevated and pounding pulse.
Avatar n tn I have sleep apnea and was using the cpap machine but used it only once cause i could not at all sleep with a mask on my mouth and I could not aford to pay for it. So I returned it ,but now i cant sleep and during the day at abut after 12 noon i feel really tires and headaches and very sleepy . So i take caffine pills everyday to stay awake. I know taking pills is no the answer and I should be using the machine. My question is is there any other way to cure my problem with out the machine.
10007886 tn?1413287174 They told us they have gowns but its better if we wear our own clothes for comfort. A pillow with a non white pillowcase(again for comfort and not white so that the hospital doesn't accidentally keep it) clothes for you and baby to leave in. Snacks. Any personal hygiene items you want. Electronics and their chargers. And then anything else you feel like you need.
Avatar f tn Did you try the nasal pillow or nasal cannula? The nasal pillow goes over your entire nose and the cannula goes right up into your nostrils.
Avatar f tn Hi you are not alone i to have Sleep Apnea i also on a CPAP machine are you , I think i am the opposite to you i cannot sleep without medication never mind can't have it all nice, please feel free to drop me a note if you like once again you are not alone.........
Avatar f tn Hi Kero! I hate that you got sick during your trip. I hope you still got to enjoy yourself - that is, if your trip was for fun! As for the night sweats, it sounds fairly normal to me - especially since your immune system tends to lower somewhat when traveling long distances like Nepal. I tend to sweat a lot at night, sick or not. I bought myself a Chillo.
Avatar f tn Make sure your using a clean pillow and pillowcase to sleep on because if there is oil on that it can transfer to your hair during the night. Also, check with your doctor to see if there's any treatment you can use to combat the odor that occurs.
Avatar m tn The reason i ask is because i dread sleeping now. I inevitably wake up totally blind or fuzzy in whichever side i'm sleeping on. I realize it's the pressure i'm putting on my eyes sleeping on my stomach into the pillow, i'm not totally ignorant. But i can't control the way i toss and turn at night having sleep apnea, and a very severe form of panic/anxiety attacks lately does not make sleeping a joy as it should. I actually dread waking up in the morning because of it.
Avatar m tn I have been using CPAP machine for over a yr. now and I have seen no improvement in my sleep. I use the nose pillow mask because of me being a side sleeper but I find me waking up with my mouth open and sometimes there is drool. Should I try a full mask to see if that would be any better for me?
1054665 tn?1305508455 Have Herpes of the mouth, and awhile back had a pretty bad break out, it spread to the inside of my nose. Now there seems to be a scar there, it hurts me whenever its touched inside and or out. I have sleep apnea, and sleep with a cpap, the kind that shouldn't hurt the nostril pillow. However this does hurt me, even the air hurts. Is there anything I can do? Is it best if I try an on the nose mask?
620048 tn?1358018235 Just wanted to add that my nurse practioner that works with my MS Dr. is going to get me into see one of the pulmonoligists at UCSF ..this makes me happy. There are not many of them around, at least good ones.
1542388 tn?1293851813 Thanks for the input. My husband recently started sweating and soaking the pillow case, but nothing else. It's hard to not worry that something else is up.
Avatar m tn I have used a cpap for 10 months. My most prevalent problem is that the exterior of my nose tickles as though a feather is being brushed against it. I use a full face mask most of the time. I have tried applying Vaseline and various other moisturizers to no avail. The only thing that has seemed to help to a limited degree is "AquaPhor" daubed on my nose, not rubbed on.
Avatar f tn I recently did something I have never done before. I went home with a man I met in a pub. We didn't have sex. I did however have oral sex with him - quite stupidly without the use of a condom. There was no ejaculation. I don't even remember him being erect at the time - which I can only assume was the reason that a condom was not used because I am normally regimented when it comes to the practise of safe sex.
