Re: Why am i still so tired???
My AHI is going up now that I set it for straight CPAP at 15. Two nights ago, AHI was .91 and last night it was 1.2. I know these are both still o.k numbers, but since i had gotten the AHI down to the point 5s, I don't like this trend (? Two nights) upward. Last night was my first night with the Cad...

Re: Recently diagnosed with sleep apnea (AHI 52)
You have to start where you are. You have severe sleep apnea. My AHI was in low 30s and I feel like a zombie, so I can only imagine how truly bad you feel. The CPAP from my limited experience isn't a magic fairy that is going to bestow wellness to you right away. You likely are going to have to work...

Re: Just ordered sleepweaver anew full face mask. Any reviews?
First night observations: I felt a little hot at one point around the mask. I wonder how that is going to go. No leaks! Much much nicer for me than a silicone FFM. (So far) Might be a deal breaker: the slicing feeling by the upper lip/below the nostrils is horrid. I finally got up at 4 am and put a ...

Re: Just ordered sleepweaver anew full face mask. Any reviews?
Oh, good. Thanks for responding. I have been practicing and playing with it today, and I watched the video again and I feel hopeful that I'm going to be able to work with this. I see what a few reviewers meant about having to sew a piece of silk on the part that rests on your upper lip (it is where ...

Re: Very good night!
Awesome! I am actively trying to pursue my number. I'm trying on straight 15 cm. no auto. My AHI jumped up a little but i felt I slept good but I would have liked less fooling with the leaks in the middle of the night. I'm still tweaking but I think I'm getting close. Please keep us posted if you no...

Re: Just ordered sleepweaver anew full face mask. Any reviews?
Ok. Just got it in the mail. I ordered the anew full face mask in a size small. My first thoughts are: wow, I really hope this works!!! Along with all the other issues of the simplus FFM, I am getting acne above my eyebrows from the FFM headgear. This mask eliminates the forehead straps and that is ...

Re: Bad night- screenshots
Thanks, pugsy. I'll try to look for those lines on the laptop.
I feel like I slept better last night on min/max 15 but the AHI went up to .92 (which I know is still low).

Re: Any hybrid mask (or glasses wearing) users w/ high pressure?
Oh dear. While the full face mask felt comfortable it has left red marks on my face. I hope they fade before I have to go to work. I wonder if it was because I was wearing it incorrectly. What is your pressure? FFM are supposed to "float" on your face. Lie down, turn on cpap, put mask on face. Pull...

Re: Any hybrid mask (or glasses wearing) users w/ high pressure?
Both of the full face masks I have used and liked have worked fine with glasses. With my current mask I can even take them off without loosing the seal. (you have to think a little bit but I can do it). In this photo it looks like the seal is riding on the glasses near the bridge of the nose. They ...

Re: Just ordered sleepweaver anew full face mask. Any reviews?
I thought it might come today and it didn't. Hopefully tomorrow, or soon anyway.
Darn it, I just remembered i was supposed to pick up a FFM today at DME. Too late now.

Re: Respironics APAP pressure test probes close up
So what if you are having the sawtooth pattern and not sleeping well?
Sawtooth means what? Do or not do anything about it? Or do or not do anything based on the other data?
Thanks.

Re: great forum to join. also new patiant
I am also new and would suggest you up mininum pressure to 7.
(Curious where you vacationed in Mexico...)
I think you can get that AHI lower.
