Everyone, In the past while traveling by air I have transportation available to when I get there so I can run out and get distilled water for my CPAP machine. This time I'm taking a trip to San Antonio and I'll be riding a shuttle to a downtown hotel so running out to get some distilled water might ...

It is great when you find a mask that works for you. I have been using the Dreamwear Nasal Pillow mask. I tried the Dreamwear Nasal for a few nights and could not get a good seal, but the pillows seem to work for me. My original thought was to get a nasal pillow mask and was talked into the Nasal m...

I just wanted to throw out a recommendation for the Phillips Respironics DreamWear mask. I've been a CPAP user for 5 years now and previously the only mask that I could get to work for me was a Resmed Mirage Softgel mask and even with that mask I needed use a mask pad from PadACheek to minimize my l...

OK, I received an answer concerning the merits of the VirtuClean Ozone CPAP cleaner and the issue of residual ozone freaks me out but I read another article yesterday about another cleaner called LUMIN. This cleaner uses a ultra-violet light to clean your equipment. Does anyone have any experience w...

Thanks for the replies. I think the issue of residual ozone scares me a bit.

I recently asked my DME about the SClean CPAP cleaner as I was skeptical over whether it really works or not. He said that it does but he recommends the VirtuClean device instead. If you have a VirtuClean can you provide any feedback on your experience with using this device to clean both the Mask, ...

I use RESMED and I checked my AHI for the last 4 days and it had gone up from an average of 3.3 over 4 years to 5.0. Sent the results to my DME who agreed so I changed it back and he's going to notify the Doc. Left the high pressure at 20. Thought this was a mistake to begin with but since I had los...

I'm a bit concerned and I would like to hear if there's a correlation between pressure and AHI. When I got my CPAP machine my doctor in Illinois set my pressure to be 13 - 17. When I was in for my checkup 2 weeks ago my doctor here in Florida said that my pressure was close to my high point of 17. H...

Does anyone have any suggestions for me regarding a new mask? Here's my issue..... My current mask is a Resmed Mirage softgel and this mask has serviced me well for a number of year but after loosing 53 pounds I'm not getting as good a seal as before when I had a fatter face. I bought a Resmed Airfi...

Thanks everyone for the replies. I will look into what they have to offer.

Its' been a while since I was out on any CPAP forum but I recall that on one forum there was someone that worked for a CPAP shop that would let you try out CPAP masks for a small fee. Is that person on this board? If so, does anyone know his name and/or how to get in touch with him? If he's not on t...

I'm on meds because of GERD and in general, my meds keep my GERD in check but on occasion I'll have a flare up at night and yes, I've been awaken out of a dead sleep by an attack. Remember, for the most part your lying down which reduces the resistance needed for the GERD to flow out of the stomach ...

I switched taking my one baby aspirin form morning to night, about a month before starting cpap, I like the outcome. I stopped waking up with the fluttering pulse--Still woke up--that's good. Interesting that you mentioned the switch in time as I recently read an article that said that anyone on an...

Can anyone tell me what the story is in regard to versioning of SleepyHead for Windows? I downloaded and installed a version sometime in March of 2012 and I upgraded it to versoin 0.9.2-1 dated January 13, 2012. Today I went out to SorceForge and it tells me that the latest version is now 0.9.1 but ...

Last night I left my S9's humidity setting at 2.5. I went to bed again breathing OK and woke up breathing OK at 5:30 AM. The only thing I noted was that my throat was a kind of dry. I think I'm going to ramp it up to 3.0 and see if there's any improvement.
