[QUOTE="fatcpa, post: 2910923, member: 11311"] I started sleeping with a CPAP unit in Nov 1994. I have slept with it all but 4 nights since then. I can't say it was comfortable right off, but I slept a lot better right from the first night. By the end of the first week I was comfortable with the unit. I started out with nasal pillows and used those up until about 2 years ago. I started mouth-breathing pretty badly and went to a regular mask and started wearing a chin strap to stop the mouth breathing. The chin strap is a lot more uncomfortable than the CPAP mask (I have a beard and it pulls the hair). For the last several years, I've bought all my supplies and 2 replacement CPAP units off the internet. My insurance has paid on both units after I've convinced them that I don't need another sleep study and they make out financially. My settings haven't changed since day one. I do mess with the pressure settings every once in a while, but always come back to the original settings. I have never used ramping. [/QUOTE]
