Re: newbie with mask issues

Jeff, Are you a "mouth breather" because of sinus problems or because like me your mouth falls open at night? I stared my treatment with a ffm (full face mask) and switched over to a nose pillow mask. Initially, I tried to "keep my mouth shut" on my own but finally bought a chin strap which keeps my...

Re: Ramp or no ramp?

My Ramp is on (a new CPAPer and that was the way the machine was set up).
Originally, was on for 20 minutes, I cut that down to 5.
I may turn it off completely, just not sure.

Re: SD replacement card question

Hi Ruth, If you put your current SD Card (the one with all your data) into your PC (a couple of assumptions, Winows? Windows7?) you should get a pop up when you insert your card that looks like this http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/p487/Tino2You/SDCardOpen.jpg Selecting "open Folder" or if autopl...

I would love to report that I am feeling like a kid again but truth is, I feel somewhat better,and I will take that. I have found that my attention to detail in my job is be...

Seeking advice and feedback

Hi Everyone, I am a new CPAPer and will have completed my first 14 days on the machine tomorrow (I'll post a summary then). My question today is I think I would like a full (or Hybrid) mask for those days when because of sinus constriction my Swift FX nasal pillow mask doesn't work. This will be an ...

Re: Not enough hours in the day

Hi Insylem, If you are not tired after being up for 16 hours start looking at what you consume. If I take in any kind of caffeine after noon, I am awake. Caffeine comes in all shapes and forms (chocolate, tea, even aspirin). Another thing that keep me in a more wakeful state is being sedentary. When...

Re: CPAP- I've come a LONG ways in 2 months!!

Hi Rick, I'm another newbie here. Thanks to the wisdom of this forum, and the inability for my insurance to process my paper work quickly, I learned a lot in the three weeks it took to get my setup. I got a ffm (comfort blue gel..i think) during my sleep study which is/was not comfortable as the nam...

Re: OT:Good Calories, Bad Calories....

Whole grains vs. no grains, meat vs. no meat, etc. I'm going to just stop eating all controversial food items until this is all sorted out. I'll be eating celery. I haven't heard anyone say anything negative about celery. And spinach. Who can say anything bad about spinach?! Salmonella spinach a li...

Re: day 1 on the box

Thanks for the feedback Pugsy. Last night I fet the mask using the "mask fit" smiley face which I now know uses the high pressure. As you can see from the results it works! There were a couple of blips...at about 8:30 (yes I went to bed early last night....I had a long long weekend with lots of fun,...
