Mike, i'm no rocket scientist, but when i read that you're congested and you wake up feeling like you're not getting enough air, well... uncle gary has a couple of thoughts/suggestions: 1) take a decongestant - careful of the sprays as they have a rebound effect, though i do think when they work, th...

Hi All, Sorry, guess i'm still a noob as i forgot to make things more clear - my efficacy data was showing 11.6 of late my AI is roughly 1.6 or 1.9 - somewhere below 2. i'm seeing combined AHI between about 7 and 9 - i'm trying to remember. i have heard that above 10 the autoset will back off of apn...

Hi All, I was running at CPAP 14 for the most part of 3 weeks, EPR of 3 (so exhalation at 11) - when i awake in the middle of the night it feels like no pressure (i.e. i'm fine with it) got my rescan software, so decided to play. Set APAP, lower of i think 9, and upper of 15 - my AHI, AI, and is it ...

just my .02 - looks like you don't have a humidifier - something you may want to consider.

I just got my new H4i, and for probably the first time I my life I read the instructions. Resmed don't specify distilled water all - there is only a statement that if you use tapwater you will need to clean the tank regularly k not to make too big a deal out of it, but i also have the 4i and my rec...

quick update: met with my respiratory tech yesterday - showed her the ultra mirage ii - and she told me she didn't like it and liked the micro much better - she was also big on the comfort gel. anywhoo, the upshot is she showed me that although i clicked on the vent cover twice per the sticker, you ...

clincian menu - from main screen, hold down right and down for about 3 seconds. smartstart - i prefer it on - i met with my respiratory tech yesterday, and we tried fitting a full face mask. i set the machine for it. at night i went back to the lt, and couldn't figure out why it wasn't smart startin...

hi - the october 29, 2008 link appears to be broken...thanks! (and thanks for the links!!!!!) Thanks for letting me know, Gary! Fixed now. awww, gee, Larry. Thank you for the kind words. please don't kill me, but how's the december 14 link workin' for ya? to me it's reading as broken... Dec 14 2008...

maybe a solution would be to create a link and call it either possible spam, or whatever - put the post in there, and folks who want to see it can, and it could also show up on searching, like for osa dental appliance or whatever, but at the same time it won't be in our faces - that would be potenti...

many thanks! i just ordered a super de duper water pik (okay, wp-100, which "looks" a little sharper than the others, has 10 settings, and does the dishes) - and i bought the grossan tip (sorry, now it's sinupulse) i know the tip won't work directly - but i read of someone slipping the nasal tip off...

thanks all; the mask is the ultra mirage ii with this link: https://www.cpap.com/productpage/resmed-ultra-mirage-II-nasal-mask-cpap.html it doesn't seem all that ultra to me... i did reassemble according to instructions, and there are plug holes that are covered up for the oxygen tubing (at least i ...

(and thanks for the links!!!!!)

Um, could you repeat that? (i'm such a wiseguy)
seriously, i do wonder what pressure in the ear canal does nightly - can't be good - though would be funny if it dries out the canal, reduces bacteria, etc. - though probably not...

Hi All, In counterpart to the vision question, i'm wondering if PAP affects hearing? my ears have been quasi clogged for a good 18 months (went to a couple of ENTs) and i've only started CPAP a few weeks ago - i do feel pressure in the ear (estucheon tubes?) many nights - so i'm wondering if anyone ...

awesome! i'm gonna order the 12v adapter for my unit. question - did you run it with the humidifier? i seem to remember reading the humidifier won't run with 12v - thanks! UPDATE: I did a little searching - so the 12v dc adapter is roughly $80. and that means no heated humidifier (i imagine the humi...
