Re: Squeaky swivel

Thanks. Looks like I will try the oil 1st because it is closest and will wash off . If it does not work will try to seperate the grey part (which may be a trick to get off without breaking something) and use plummer's tape but will try to find some "superglide" if the grey part does not pop off easy...

Re: moleskin and swift

It seems like the fabric part of the headgear that touches the cheeks tends to break down ( stilll looks good but feels rough)after a short time with use and causes irritation even on average skin. The padacheek or similar fleece seemed to extend the life of the headgear until the headgear got stret...

Squeaky swivel

Any ideas on how to fix the squeaky swivels on the Resmeds' Micro & Activa LT? The area of the worst squeaks seem to be around the solid grey parts and started after they were about a couple months old. The squeaks are a high pitch and tend to wake me up after a position change. Tried tape but found...

Re: A Question re: my AUTOPAP Trial

Do you sleep studies show more events later in the course of the time you are sleeping? Maybe that is why the spilt night setting was added on. But I question why the initial setting is only at 7 from what you have posted. Looks like your doctor might have found something to look into but wonder abo...

Re: Is it Illegal to Change Settings on One's CPAP Machine?

I agreee that RTs should not change a setting without a prescription because they are under a state's registration that cannot prescribe or change a prescription. But if they see something not exactly right with the prescription they have a right & duty to question the prescription. Trusting a docto...

Re: How long do you use your mask before replacing the seal ?

14 months for the Micro seal. Now it leaks . It is a bit ineven/warped looking perhaps strecthing out a bit because it was a bit too small to being with. But the next size larger was too large and leaked. Ordered a new one. Might try the Macks earplug trick to make it last till the new one arrives.

Re: When it rains, it pours...

Got the blue o-ring chamber to stop leaking by simplely reseating the o-ring by rotating its curve so it did not exactly follow the curve of the plastic chamber kind of hard to explain but it worked. It seemed to have a snugger but slight crooked fit. The chamber with the blue o-ring started to leak...

Re: remeron

Remeron did nothing but make me gain 10 lbs in one month. When my sleep doctor prescribed it I was told Remeron would help my sleep and it would take up to a month to see it's benefits plus that my sleep problems would get better if I would lose some weight( was 125 lbs ). Stopped the Remeron and it...
