Re: standard or soft response

I will usually say that we need several nights before we can really evaluate any experiments EXCEPT when we have disastrous results. Our sleep is so fragile I just don't see the sense in experimenting when first results are a disaster. Go back to the soft response tonight and see if your sleep quali...

Re: standard or soft response

Re: For Sale: Lowenstein Prisma 20A

PM sent back, but it's sitting in my outbox, not showing as sent yet. Any private messages sent to anyone will sit in the outbox until the person the PM was sent to opens it and reads it...then it will move to the sent box. So the person you sent the PM to simply hasn't been back here to check his ...

Re: Unclassified Apneas

Believe what you want but you weren't sound asleep and that little dip to 88% for the O2 is probably just a brief loss of contact artifact. Asleep breathing is different from awake breathing (and you may not remember being awake) and awake/arousal related breathing is fairly easy to spot on the flow...

Re: Insurance Fraud? Airsense 10 and ROTECH.

Could you possibly give the OP an example of how he is saving money? I gave an example of how I could/did save money. Did you not understand the math? OP is a big boy and needs to do his own math. I have yet to have my insurance buy me a machine. 15 years on cpap. I do the math. Have a nice day.

Re: Insurance Fraud? Airsense 10 and ROTECH.

And you call this an Advantage? I think I would NOT sign with another Advantage Plan. How is this saving money? When you have perpetual rental - such a deal. Live n' Learn or NOT or just get another *Advantage*. 1....Not all Advantage plans do this (though I admit more and more are going to perpetu...

Re: Unclassified Apneas

You were in the middle of a large leak for one thing.
You weren't asleep for another thing.
It really doesn't matter what they are if you aren't asleep because you have to be asleep for anything flagged to really matter.

Re: Mysathenia Gravis and Bipap Machine

I do not know if they would help or hurt in your situation but you might talk to an ENT doc about your problem and what you think it is and would something like "lacrimal plugs" be indicated as a possible solution for your problem.

Re: New F & P Nasal cushion mask called the Solo

Quick report as I am short on time. Funeral to go to this morning. Anyhow....found a negative (for me anyway) and that was a strap mark on my face this morning. Probably the side that was "down" on the bed pillow (buckwheat so a bit firm) as I am primarily a side sleeper and I rotate sides often. Al...

Re: OSCAR Question with new machine

I would use the new machine while it is under warranty.....just in case. If you wait until the other one up and dies it might put your new machine out of warranty and if something should happen to it when out of warranty then you will be kicking yourself in the butt. Odds are nothing will happen but...

What are the noise levels like? I'm currently using a Respironics DreamWear nasal mask.
Pretty much silent unless the vented air bounces off something.

Re: OSCAR Question with new machine

The new machine may not like the old card if it has the old machine's data on it.
You may need to erase the old SD card if you want to use it.

I would just use a new card in the new machine if it was me.

Re: New F & P Nasal cushion mask called the Solo

Thanks for this. Do you find it has any advantages over the N30? I think it is a little more stable than the N30 because of the easy way to adjust the tension by small incremental amounts.. I wanted to compare it to how the N30 feels against the skin but I seem to have put my N30 in a place that is...

I assume that is Nick not the model farting in the video.

I didn't watch the videos. Technical difficulties on my end. So I don't know who did the farting.

Re: New F & P Nasal cushion mask called the Solo

One night under my belt with the Solo mask. No problems. It's a nice little mask. I could use it long term if I had to but while it is a nice little mask....it won't be displacing the Eclipse from the number one priority of use spot. Had a small amount of leak which was probably mouth opening leak b...
