New user since beginning of June, using airSense 11, f30i mask... I think my pressure range is 4-12. I just put in an SD card so I could get more info, but so far I think I'm adjusting ok. Averaging about 6 hrs of use per night after an hour or two on the couch.

I do have some questions about things I'm noticing though, and I'm wondering if others have had similar experiences. If so, do they go away/get better?

1. Not waking up to pee anymore, but I'm retaining water. I tend to have occasional episodes during the summer with swelling feet/legs, but I've gained like 10lbs, and even my eyelids are puffy when I wake up, so I'm wondering if this is CPAP-related. [Caveat - I hadn't weighed myself in a few months, so I can't swear this is all new, but my weight's been pretty steady otherwise.]
2. AHI went from 47/hr to a range of 4-11. (It's tightening up; avg this week 6.6) Is this a wide range? My sleep lab went down to just over 1/hr but that was with a nose mask and it pinches off my breathing, so I switched to full face.
3. When I wake up, I feel like I'm "done" sleeping. (Sometimes if it's too early, I try for another hour or so, and usually am successful.) BUT, for the first hour or so that I'm up, I feel kind of buzzed. Not dizzy or lightheaded, but kind of like I've been riding on a motorcycle or been on a boat or something. It's not totally unpleasant, but it's "different" and hard to explain.

I don't see the DME people for a couple weeks, and then the sleep doc another week or so later, so I thought I'd check in with you experts :) Thanks for any input!

it's looking like i may need to sell my June 26 tickets, and i'm getting kind of nervous because there still seem to be loads of tickets left. does anyone know if his shows tend to sell more tickets as the date approaches?

to make matters worse, i had to buy 3 seats because it wouldn't let me leave a single seat. and on top of that, the tickets aren't being released until like a week before the show, so i can't even put them up on secondary market sites yet.
