Re: Dream Wear Mask - My opinion
I just used mine for the first time last night. Overall, I liked it a lot, but will need to tweak it a bit. I did not really have the time to mess with it much until it was actually time to go to sleep. I had planned to use my stand-by mask (Resmed Activa LT), but figured, wtf, might as well put the...

Re: DreamWear mask is now pre order at cpap.com
I ordered one a few days ago and I just now got an email saying it has shipped! Looking forward to it and hopefully it will be a great mask!

Re: DreamWear mask is now pre order at cpap.com
Wow, this looks really interesting! I am tempted to order it myself. Just earlier today, I was thinking about trying a different mask, perhaps re-trying one of the ones I have in my box at home. I may wait to read your review, Pugsy. And if I just go ahead and order it, I will post my review too.

Re: Mouth leaks... out of things to try... Need Help!!
This is what I use to avoid mouth leaks: I use a chin-up strip: http://www.chinupstrip.com/ which I buy on drugstore.com. Then I use Nexcare's gentle paper tape. It does not permit leaking through the tape itself, as micro-pore will. I use the one-inch wide variety. I tear a piece about 4 - 5 inches...

That is good to know, thank you! I have two humidifier tanks and may try swapping them out.

Re: Forum Administrators- Do your JOB,
Can we just give it a REST?? And get back to focusing on information and support on sleep apnea and its treatment? When on an online forum, if I do not like what I read, I ignore it. Example: when someone on this forum decides to resurrect discussion of their disbelief in homeopathy, from which I an...

Re: My brand new Resmed Airsense 10 is a lemon
I had something similar happen a few years ago with my Resmed S8. I had just arrived at my destination after being awake all night travelling. I was desperate to go to sleep and darned if the blasted machine did not whistle/whine in a very similar fashion to yours. I could not figure out what it was...

Re: Nasal Masks
I use, and like, the Resmed Activa LT. The mask frame also fits Resmed's soft gel cushion. I have used the soft gel cushion too but I don't like it as much. The Activa has been my go-to mask for a few years now.

Re: Would like input on increasing AHI
This is from my initial sleep study: FINDINGS: This was a diagnostic study. Much of her abnormality was seen in the last 2 hours of the night, including turning supine for the only portion of the night during this time, but also for some reason her difficulty on her left side was worse late in the n...

Re: Would like input on increasing AHI
They gave me the ST model because of central apneas. Or at least that is what I surmise. I never met the sleep doc, it was a traveling sleep lab with tech. She told me during the titration study about central apneas and that "I wasn't even trying" to breathe. At that point, she switched it to bi-lev...

Thank you, Pugsy. By what increment would you recommend increasing the pressure?

Re: Would like input on increasing AHI
Hi, Julie,
I like the black cat, and I liked the white one too!! I have thought about tightening the headgear as I think the mask has been leaking a bit more. But last night, for example, leaks were .10 and yet AHI was 17... The AHI seems high for the amount of leak.

Would like input on increasing AHI
Hello everyone, During the past few weeks, my AHI numbers have been high. Not every night, but most nights. They used to be consistently below 5.0, but recently that is a rarity. Last night, 17, and the night before, 11. Leaks have at times been somewhat high, but not always. Last night, leaks were ...
