....and still appreciated! I'm still here! Thank you for your comments. : D

Yup! Changed settings for mask, and tape on mouth. Every time i've ever experimented with changing masks , from full face, to resmed's um2 nasal or comfort gel nasal mask,,the numbers are always off the chart. Has no one every experenced this same problem?? thanks..tim

Hey everyone! I"m looking for others that have used their Resmed S8 autopap in conjunction with a ultra mirage full face mask,,and then switched to a resmed ultra mirage 2 nasal mask. My nighly readings/numbers for leak,ahi,hi,ai seem fairly normal with the full face,,,,change to the resmed um2 nasa...

I have been running on cpap for some time. A while back someone suggested that the autopap mode, might be causing me arousals,so i've been on cpap mode for quite some time now. Pulse oximeter registers 99% oxygen levels. i don't have the software currently, does anyone have one they recommend for th...

Hey everyone! Just looking for another opinion again. I'm going on a couple of years of cpap now, with no restorative sleep yet. I've gone through many changes on my masks,cpap pressures,epr adjustments,,etc,etc,,and the list goes on and on. You know, when i raised my cap pressure settings, my readi...

exercise and weight?? Leave that advice to newbies. I've been at this a couple of years on cpap,,fifteen years with OSA. I'tall and slim.Answers are far more complex than that. But, thanks anyways for your input.

i didn't understand that bit about "over titration" either. I googled it to no avail. anyone??

Well, that's the main reason i'm fishing for other possibilities because i still don't feel good and haven't for a couple of years now.

Hey everyone! I noticed that some people are able to get lower numbers/readings from their cpap machines. Currently, i have a resmed S8, and i'm at the maximum pressure of 20, and yet the lowest i've been able to get my numbers down to is: press. 18.4 leak: .12 ahi: 3.5 ai: 0 hi: 3.5 Do all machines...

Sorry for the lack of clarity. By cr*p, i did indeed mean tired and fatigue. As for other sleep related issues, nothing else was mentioned to me in any of my three sleep studys. I have played with pressures, from lowering to raising them to the maximum(20 on resmed s8) and no results that gave me an...

My numbers from the previous nights sleep are always low. Even my leak rates are low. So why do i always feel terrible the next day? lately i have been averaging:;pressure: 17.6 leak: .12 ahi: 5.0 ai: .5 hi: 4.0 I'm going on a couple of yearsnow with my cpap to no success.I've played with pressures,...

Ooops! i forgot to sign in before posting my last reply,,,me bad!! So that is my reply in the one above. thanks! Tim

I"m just assuming that i must increase the pressure to bring my ahi and hi numbers down.Doesn't that make sense?

Yeaaa,, but those ahi and hi readings of thirty three are freakishly high!!!

Actually, the first night was "standard" on the mask menu, because of the ridiculously high numbers, i switched it to the setting for nasal masks.
And as it says in the post"I did as i always do, to tape my mouth,and that stayed on all night,
