Thank you from an occasional lurker

I know y'all know this, but just wanted to reinforce how helpful you are to those who don't post questions ourselves--both the long-time posters who are very knowledgable, AND the users who post questions are gems. My transition to Resmed Airsense 10 from DreamStation was not as smooth as others hav...

Re: Phillips / Philips Respironics recent recall notice discussion thread

I have similar circumstances. Medicare did not pay for my 3.5 y/o machine, and they are paying for my supplies. I provided the info you mentioned to my DME and picked up my new Resmed Airsense yesterday. I suspect you will be picking up your new machine as soon as your DME gets it in. Based on my ex...

Re: Sticky: Phillips Respironics recent recall notice discussion thread

Well, I happen to have an acquaintance with the science of Toxicology, and I agree with your point CG. Wondering if you’ve had a chance to read everything and reach any conclusions. Maybe your knowledge of toxicology will provide an answer to a question about the offgassing issue. Can there be offg...

Thanks for the recommendation. My library has it, so I’m going to check it out. Looks interesting.

The problem with this for me is that sometimes the SD card doesn't make it back to the machine. Happened twice this week.
I leave the door open to the sd card/filter area when the card is out. Haven’t forgotten it yet 🤞🏻

Re: Dreamstation does not diplay AHI

Have you tried turning that first setting— in the upper left corner—to “on”? Without comparing it to my machine I can’t be sure, but that sure looks like it could be info.

Re: Dreamwear nasal mask

I love it too! Tried a couple different masks during sleep study and don’t think I could deal with anything but this very non-invasive mask.

Re: Why are there so many bad reviews of the Philips Respironics DreamStation?

I’ve been using my Dreamstation for six months. I am sensitive to noise, and am not at all bothered by my CPAP noise. Occasionally I’ll notice breathing sounds, but they don’t keep me from falling asleep. My husband said he occasionally hears slight noise. In my dry part of TX, using humidity set at...

Re: Depressed about my new condition

I can relate to your pity party. Did the same for awhile. Even dragged my feet on going to get the machine. I got lucky with the right mask and started sleeping through the night right away. After hanging out here I got my settings tweaked and get good sleep every night. I wish the same for you.

It's not been working since the last update; at least not on Apple devices.
Which version iOS? I see I have an update to install —11.4.1— and DreamMapper quit on me Saturday. I’m curious if 11.4.1is the update that messed it up for you.

Re: DreamStation & DreamMapper App

Several times over the past couple of weeks I’ve had to close the app and reopen it multiple times to get the data to show up 😕. Yes, the app has its flaws but when it works it’s a quick check which is all I need 99% of the time now that my therapy is optimized. I don’t know about you, but my bladde...
