Hmmm, some great suggestions, thank you. I'll run them by my wife tonight.

In the P10 generally considered a good mask?

So with some help from DME and a bunch from you folks, I am consistently getting AHI down to the 1-3 range, and sometimes less than 1. I do OCCASIONALLY wake up with air shooting out my mouth, but through sleepyhead have determine this is for very short period a time or two a night. Sometimes it wak...

I was diagnosed 8/17/2016 and so many people in my life have just learned I have OSA. It was amusing how many text messages I just got when the announcers brought up Mike Napoli of the Indians sleep apnea issues.

Generally, is there any reason not to set your machine to auto? My thought is this: -My DME, through the last 1.5 months, has ended up setting me on CPAP pressure of 10. My AHI is down to 2.35 (30 day average,) and I am happy as it is a huge improvement. Why wouldn't I set my machine to auto mode wi...

I have new, in the plastic, nasal pillows (Nose Cushions) for the Phillips Respironics DreamWear Nasal Mask. I have the following:

Medium - 2
Medium Wide - 2
Large - 2

I would be happy to trade any for the Small size. PM me if interested and I am in the USA.

Thanks!

I've been on CPAP for one month. I forgot to pack my tube and mask and didn't realize until I was at my hotel at 11:30pm last Thursday. I was stuck. It was REALLY strange to "sleep" without treatment, and I can't believe I used to do it every night. I also realized how obvious it was that I had slee...

Just wanted to let you all know that my pressure was increased to 10 last week after a discussion with the Tech and my AHI has dropped to between 1-2. Good stuff and I appreciate all your help.

Initial pressure on Auto was min:4 max:15, but I think it never went over 12-13 in the week I was on Auto. Maybe once to 15 in 7 full nights sleep. I can check when I get home if needed.

Ahhh...stupid would be my guess.
Wanna bet they picked the 90% pressure? After all it's the holy grail of numbers.

Would it be helpful to post some stats from when I was in Auto mode?

Hi folks! Newly diagnosed with 32 AHI. I have probably had some form of apnea since I was 14 and had no clue. I am 37 now.
