    Rooster, welcome to SleepGuide. I follow your comments with interest on our sister board. Glad to have you aboard and look forward to some of your wisdom and humor. I'm interested in particular about the problems with masks encountered with masks for those of us on higher IPAP (IPAP 22). I seem to remember you quoting some very high number for your IPAP.

    Well thanks for the welcome. I have been an occasional reader here since the forum started. I like following the posts of Drs. Park and Jones, Mike and you. I will have to look for you on the other forum.

    I only have a few nights experience with high pressure. It's a long story, but I was titrated at 19 cm on my back. I tried 19 cm a few nights at home but I had total gastric insufflation which was destroying my sleep and other things.

    I then titrated myself to 8 cm on my sides and tummy. That works well for me and I mostly sleep on my tummy.

    thanks for the link. i posted the new cardiovascular disease-OSA study here -- the AHA so makes my blood boil whenever i think of this.

    Rooster, that was some party! You would have been ok though if you had just strapped on that mask. Thanks for a good laugh this morning.

    I have a vision that we will figure out an easy way to ensure that children develop wide, deep, healthy and attractive jaws and then obstructive sleep apnea becomes an obscure bit of history.
