So I have had pretty bad rainout the last few nights, even with adjusting my humidity level and increasing my tube temperature. But here’s the thing: everybody and their dog talks about condensation forming in the tube, that’s why we all run out and buy nice heated hoses. But when I pulled out my wa...

I have had reflux in the past. But recently I have started taking better care of myself, and avoid what I think to be triggers like chocolate and especially carbonated beverages. The weird thing about this sore throat is that its intensity varies even within the day. This morning on a scale from one...

Hi everyone. I have periodically had this terrible sore throat pain mostly when I swallow, and said pain migrates up to my ear. I went to my ENT a few months ago and she could find nothing, and she even had me do a full MRI to rule our super bad things. It was very painful too, and it's back but not...

Up at 3:50 due to popping sounds caused by rainout. Arrgh. But I had a couple of questions/thoughts, wanted to get your feedback. 1) I've got my machine nearly on the floor, so I do have a nice vertical bend to my heated hose which also has a flannel cover on it. So I did that. I kinda decided this ...

Starting to warm up in the bedroom these days, temperature-wise I mean :o I only have the Resmed heated tubing, I am curious as to how low people crank down the tube temperature on a warm night. I suppose the humidity level might factor in as well? Should I turn it off completely? I am only asking a...

Hi everyone. I have recently switch over from the Simplus to the Resmed F20 Airtouch FFM, which includes their QuietAir Elbow. As has been noted elsewhere, it is freakishly quiet, a real marvel of engineering. However, after about 2 weeks of using it, I can see what appears to be tiny white strands ...

I have *loved* the Simplus, but it's just having issues these days. LSAT, does what I am describing as to the lateral play between the cushion and the frame something you have experienced yourself, or am I just going mad? The frame and the cushion are supposed to fit tightly enough to seal off their...

Yeah, it's a silly question. It's like asking about your favorite Ben and Jerry's ice cream flavor (it's Cherry Garcia). I am about to give up on my Simplus due to ongoing leak problems due to what I consider poor manufacturing quality (too much lateral play between the cushion and the frame, which ...

My wife says I have a coconut head just like Charlie Brown. She's such a joker, my wife :P . I am using the F&P Simplus headgear size M/L, because as far as I can tell there is no L/XL size. As such it does not fit as well as I would like it to. Has anyone run across this problem? Although it's just...

Thanks for all the good advice as usual! I will play around with the hose temp (maybe too low) and keep the humidifier setting at 4 for now, we'll see what happens. Can't do much about the room temp, it gets down to about a brutal 40 degrees here at night in Santa Barbara :mrgreen: and wifey likes a...

While posting my own thread the other day I noticed another one talking about humidifier settings, condensation, etc., but now I can't find it so here is a new thread. I think it was Pugsy (not sure) who talked about condensation and having his/her humidifier setting up about 6 (?) and the tube temp...

Thanks again for all the good advice. Last night I went through my cushions and tossed the ones that don't fit properly. 2 out of 6 I think it was. A manufacturing defect as far as I can tell, I looked at the F&P Healthcare website with the idea of hooting at them, and I did not even see any contact...

Thanks LSAT. I have been blessed with good insurance so I generally get all my CPAP parts on a set schedule (and pay for them of course). I will try your advice about keeping my (good) cushion(s) longer. I do believe they lose their shape after a while and *should* be replaced, but I am probably rep...

Hi everyone, long time no visit, hope you are all well and safe! So, I have been using the Simplus FFM for many years now, and overall it has worked the best of all FFMs I have tried. But occasionally, I receive cushions from my DME that don't fit quite right. How so, you ask? The cushion just clips...

Nope, won't open. Oh well, I will try to marshal my available data and anecdotal evidence and go from there. I have not yet begun to hassle my doc!
