I was using my CPAP and my setting starts at 4. Its on auto so the air pressure adjusts according to the amount I need during sleep. I woke up to my machine with the air pressure on 7.9. I had 0.4 events this time. But im not sure how im suppose to adjust to this if I constantly feel like my breath is being taken. My respiratory rate was 17. I dont think its even been that high. Can CPAP cause an increase in respiratory rate?

I bought a "waterproof" mattress pad and it seemed to work for a few weeks but now every time my son wets the bed, it gets into the mattress which irritates me because I just bought this mattress and my last one got moldy because of the same issues. I can't afford to keep buying them. Is there an actual waterproof mattress cover out there? Im not too picky one price as long as its actually waterproof. Im just so frustrated over this.

I am brand new to CPAP and yesterday after my first use, I washed my nasal cushion as instructed. I used dawn dish soap (it was one of the recommendations), but it was ultra dish soap. I didnt know the soap was going to leave a scent so strong. What kind of mild soap do you all use to wash your nasal/facial mask? Im afraid im going to breathe in chemicals with any scented soaps so I want to be very careful about what I use. ​

Theyre a christian rock band, right? If so, why does this song sound selfish, which goes against God? "I'll do what I want cause this is my life"...isn't that kind of contradicting?

Im new to christianity and I always feel like if I dont do enough of something, or if im not thankful enough, if I dont stop struggling to completely forgive, or if I still slip up with curse words (even though I apologize to God and ask for forgiveness when I do), or if I dont stop being depressed or anxious or frustrated..etc that Im not taking this seriously. I always worry about this. I heard that God says there's alot of christians who won't make it to Heaven even though they think they're doing what they should be to have eternal life with God when they really won't. That is terrifying. I dont know what to believe. 😥​

I used my CPAP for the first time last night. It showed that I had no events (according to my CPAP machine). However my watch still shows that I get low oxygen, like the low 80s. Why is this? Does anyone else experience this? Im afraid I may have to have supplemental oxygen. I dont want to but will if I have to 😩 I just don't understand why my oxygen is still getting low if I have no apnea events.

I just got fitted for my mask for my auto CPAP. The lady at the medical supply company put it on my face and turned the machine on. The constant pressure blowing in makes it feel like its a little challenging breathing out against it. Is this something thats suppose to happen? Is it something I need to get use to? Or am I not suppose to feel that?

My kids attend a day program. For some reason my son gets pretty aggressive there. Hes fine at home, still has moments though. The director from the day program he attends is now requiring his to be fully one on one which will eat up his budget on his waiver and won't be able to attend as much as he used to. Also, they use to take us to appointments for the kids because I can no longer drive. But since they're down to one vehicle, they can't do that anymore. Using medicaid transportation is a nightmare because they can never find us rides and that makes us miss important appointments. My son just got an AAC device through speech therapy and now we may have to end services with them which means losing his device. Im so stressed out right now. I don't know what to do regarding transportation. I don't know how im even suppose to work during the day now. Is anyone else in this situation? Im already extremely depressed and this just makes it so much worse 😞 ​​

I had my facebook account set up with my old smartphone for 2fa and the "smart" person I am, I forgot to unlink the phone to my account so that it won't require access from that phone. Now it asks for an authentication code from an app that I apparently forgot I had linked my facebook to. I cant find any app that has my account on it. I tried the video verification using my face but it keeps failing. Im so frustrated. I haven't been able to access it for a week now. Any way to bypass all this? Or am I doomed and have to make a new one? ​​
