The one I've found that works for me is called Nine Max Foam Cervical Collar which I think is just a standard kind of thing.
Do it sooner than later though

Thanks Rob! I'll look into those and peruse the forums here. I know I have a tendency to have my head a bit forward during the day (sitting, walking or whatever); I'm sure this is carrying over to my sleep posture and hence causing my "positional apnea" that SR alerted me to. - - I will order one within 24 hours so that I can start using it asap. I'm sure all these little tweaks are going to get my AHI down to a respectable number. Thanks again!
I used the Airfit P10 for the first time last night. Initially it almost seemed like not having a mask at all. As the night when on, I had some leaks... I'm definitely getting the cervical collar today! I'm pretty sure that will make a big difference. (positional apnea) http://www.apneaboard.com/wiki/index.php...onal_Apnea
With my old mask (Eson2 - used for 1 week only) I had 2.58 AHI on Tuesday night; last night (Wednesday) I had 3.84 (charts attached). I'm sure I should be getting below 2.0; btw, my sleep test had me at 22.8 AHI. So cpap is definitely helping.
Btw, can someone tell me what the numbers next to Flagged Events mean, ie, Obstructive (10), (19), etc...??? See last night's chart for example. Thanks!
