I tried MM. [the following is a verbatim response to a PM] No, I don't use one. I've done the overnight studies twice & been offered the latest, least invasive masks available. They just don't work in my case. Although they claim that you can move about freely while sleeping [a must for anyone with arthritis & DISH] you can't. The only way you can keep a seal on your nose &/or mouth to allow enough pressure to keep your airway open is to lay still on your back. I just can't do that. My choice is to get enough O2 while sleeping & be in out of control pain the next day or risk an apnea event but move freely & keep the joints from stiffening. For now I have a nasal O2 tube like those you see in the cardiac care rooms [some folks have mobile systems too]. It helps, but it's useless when I have a central apnea event since my neurological controls shut down all breathing. The key for me is to keep from getting over tired. It seems that is when the both apnea's tend to happen most [much more so with central]. Tim
