    And may your dragon truly guard home and hearth and its precious treasure: YOU!

    Let us know how your first night goes!

    Love,
    Leah

    PS. The ONLY reason I never got ANY sleep my first night was because my grandson was born that night and my son kept calling us from OH so no one got any sleep! My real "test" was the next night where both Darth and Gonzo triumphed over OSA.

    bad news...

    couldn't make it past 10 minutes

    I have an extremely bad cold.. and took sinus medicine so I could breathe thru my nose..

    butttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt...within 10 minutes..my sinuses filled up...and I almost chocked to death

    and it gave me a really bad sinus headache that I had to try to sleep with all night!

    UGH

    gonna have to wait ..till I get over this .beastly..2nd round I have of this ..flu or what ever the frig it is..

    heading to docs today... had it for 5 weeks..in the fall..was better for a month..and last week

    came down with a slightly different..more powerful versin of ..some freakin thing

    even though I have had the flu shot and the pneumonia shot too...!

    stay tuned folks..

    I think those pillows are much more comfortable that the nose mask..

    as long as the pressure of air they are pumping up my sinuses doesn't make them EXPLODE!

    freakin yikes!

      I hear ya! To be on the "safe" side, most machines & associated masks, pillow, etc. come with a written advice NOT to use them if you are suffering from bad nasal congestion. Exactly what you described could happen: the infection being pushed farther up the nasal passages due to the positive air pressure.

      I hope you feel better ASAP and give your dragon another chance.

      Love,
