Re: Switching masks after 2 years

... Also are there are others like this? My Dr office is just putting in an order for a Dreamwear or something similar. AirFit F30i DreamWear Full Face ... I haven't tried either of the above, but for reasons stated below. YMMV. Simplus was my go-to mask before I switched to the AirFit F20. I've tr...

I tried the Amara View again and finally seemed to get it adjusted right no leaking at all. Bumped minimum to 16.5 & no more snoring!

Congratulations on reducing snoring! Is this with side sleeping?

Re: UARS Insomnia

This is exactly what started happening to me just over two weeks ago. I can’t believe I’m finally reading this. Transitional sleep apnea. Actually sleeping is fine. But getting to sleep is impossible. I can feel myself stop breathing and my O2 level dropping. This is miserable. Can’t find a doctor ...

Re: OT: GERD, Famotidine and loose stools...

I found that my loose stools were caused by METFORMIN. On the advice of my endocrinologist I dropped the metformin for about a month. I then added some back in gradually until my blood sugars were controlled without excessive "regularity". No metformin at all let my glucose levels run wild, while g...

Re: Nasal Mask vs Face Mask (Newbie)

Others may come along with suggestions for reducing CA's, if possible. It looks like the AirFit N30 could be a good alternative . According to ResMed's manual on the N30, it uses QuietAir technology, a technique similar to the QuietAir Elbow , but for a nasal mask. It's possible vent dispersal will ...

Re: How to stop sleeping on back?

Somnopose is on my friends old iphone that I'm borrowing. We sent the Somnopose charts to his icloud account and tried emailing them to my computer. This is not working because in both cases the file that Somnopose is exporting is some type of Somnopose file and not a general purpose csv file. This...

Re: What's the best (easiest) way to clean your PAP mask + supplies?

This routine is a lot. If it helps you to keep your life under control, don't stop. If you get tired of it, know that others are doing quite well with a less strenuous routine. I'm in the Dog Slobber camp. When I do wash stuff I use Method unscented gel hand soap. If I can't find that, I use Method ...

You can transfer .csv files to google drive on your iPhone and then open google drive on your win10. Another alternative is dropbox, same methodology...

Re: Anyone move a lot in sleep some nights?

I'm SORRY everyone I was afraid to check back to see what people responded with. I bought a Hose holder today (Hose Buddy $49.99) and hope it solves the problem. Last night I ripped my hose from the back of the machine and woke up struggling to breath. It sucked. I'll be going over posts now and wi...

Re: Graphs for review

I just remembered last night I tried a sleep app and turns out it records sounds! Around 3.30 til 3.40 I can hear what sounds like snoring! Which I guess must mean my mouth was open, which I am sure never normally happens, and I guess during that period that air through my nose wouldn't have been r...
