Yup, Rule 34 will get you every time. For those unaware of what Rule 34 is: Rule of the Internet Number 34 states that for every conceivable (and even inconceivable) perversion, someone has created pornographic imagery of said situations and posted it online somewhere. There are no exceptions to th...

Your pressure would have to drop to 0 when you inhale with Provent. Otherwise, no air. I wonder if something similar couldn't be done with a reusable device with vents held on by straps instead of glue. It sounds a little bit like they're making it unnecessarily disposable, just so they can charge y...

Assume your 95th percentile is 10. That means that 95 percent of the time, you pressure is below 10. 10 is 95% of 10.5. It doesn't mean that your correct pressure is 10.5. Consider these numbers, 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 100 The 50th percentile is 15. 50% of the numbers are above, 50% are below...

If that is what you use for sleep apnea issues, I have wonder what you do for restless leg syndrome! The restless leg syndrome solution is here: http://imgs.tootoo.com/4b/46/4b46c3d476f016dbb857242cb38868c0.jpg The image is a little big, so I didn't want to embed it. Internet rule 34 applies everyw...

I had to modify it a little by cutting a hole in the nose area where the CPAP mask fits, but those darn mouth leaks are solved for GOOD!!!!

It might even fix the problems for the guy with the punctured eardrum problems.

If you have a heated hose, that has conductive heating elements in the hose and presents a risk of the voltage flowing down the hose and into you. Also, many hoses I've seen have a spiral "spring" in them, but I haven't ever cut into one and seen if they're metal or plastic. Heck, moisture on the in...

Is it possible this is just the air from the exhaust vent? I suppose you could dip the thing in some soapy water, put it on and see if there are bubbles.

Well, I do kinda sound like Vader with the mask on... Maybe they could incorporate some sort of voice changing circuit into the mask to give you a deep voice. One little problem I get with CFLEX is that as I go from inhale to exhale, the pressure change "pumps" the mask back and forth on my face an...

It's probably worth experimenting with turning down the CFLEX for a few nights.

It's not apnea. That knot she tied in her hair cut the blood supply off to her brain.

If it were me, I'd turn up the pressure a little and see what happens. Then turn it back down where it was and see what happens.

Do you have an Auto machine? What are your pressure settings?

It didn't hurt that you followed up with your Dr as well. Good job. Thanks, DoriC, but, I didn't actually "follow" up with my doctor. I started with the (non-sleep) doctor, got no useful info from them. I thought about the CPAP machine and fixed the problem myself. After that, I didn't follow up wi...

Ahh, now I see why the questions about the software. You want access to more information. If you have trouble with the software, let us know. Thanks. I think that just keeping apnea in mind if I have problems in the future would do the trick. Plus figuring out how to use my machines properly. Howev...

You sound kinda paranoid to be honest. If I were a newbie to OSA and CPAP, Id rather rely upon my sleep doctor, a good brick and mortar sleep apnea oriented RT if I had access to one and credible source OFFICIAL websites...than this forum. Eric Please go back and actually READ what I wrote. Use the...

One thing everyone with CPAP should keep in mind, don't get complacent. I had done CPAP for many years. I knew (or thought I knew) how to set my machine. I had figured out what pressure I needed, etc. Recently, I started having some problems that I didn't associate with apnea. I was having nausea, h...
