Donating my old machine

Hi,

I am looking to give away my cpap. Just need someone to pay shipping or come pick it up. I can access the UPS store easily and am located in Green Bay, WI.

Resmed airsense 10 for her. They are still making and providing parts for this machine.

Re: "You sleep in survival mode"

Gave the vents a thorough cleaning and experimented with the pressure. Lowering it from 8 to 7 seems to have helped as I only woke twice. 9 made it worse. I am going to lower it to 6 tonight and see what happens. I would like more humidity but I can't seem to find the sweet spot with the temp of the...

Re: "You sleep in survival mode"

After a long period of success I have started to have a new issue. I am having difficulty exhaling which leads to me waking up and occasionally taking the nasal pillows off entirely. This leads to crappy sleep. After looking at some other threads a few things that, I think, might be causing the prob...

Re: Poll: What do you do when colds or allergies come visiting?

I was actually going to ask about this. I have a horrible cold with nasal congestion but my tube isn't heated so I'm getting a lot of rainout. Until I can get a heated tube what is my bestboption. Higher humidity? Lower?

Re: Airfit P10 vs Swift FX Pillows

Has anyone altered the P10 straps or are there custom straps? I feel that there would be less issues with movement if the split happened on the cheeks and not behind the hears. At least for me. I wear an extra small and finding hats that fit me is a challenge.

Re: Unusual TSA Checkpoint Experience

It also doesn't help if you chose to wear an artsy shirt covered with "jewels" set in metal findings and with little buckles all over it. I don't think well at 3am.... Try wearing a full-length sequin dress. Apparently their fancy new scanners cannot see through them. They even told me this tidbit!

Re: How often do you clean your stuff?

Have you ever tried Cetaphil daily face wash? It's even gentler than baby shampoo.

Re: "You sleep in survival mode"

Just posting to say thanks for all the support I've been given here. I don't think I would have been able to have taken to the therapy as easily as I have without everyone's help

Re: FOR SALE: AirSense™ 10 AutoSet CPAP Machine with HumidAir™

I just got mine and they made it very clear to me that it's a rental for the next 60 days and that I have to show compliance and that my doctor has to show that the machine is treating my condition before they will purchase it

Re: "You sleep in survival mode"

Is there a way to get my machine to start at a higher pressure without having my doctor change it? Five is too low and I can't seem to get it to auto sense unless I'm reading on my phone which kinda messes with my sleep hygiene.

Re: Login Difficulty -

I had the same issue with my account. I was logged in on my phone. I logged out on all devices, reset on my phone, made sure the catchpa was there when I went to log back in as I had the too many attempts too and was successful too. I suspect that the tablet is the issue. Try resetting from a comput...

Re: "You sleep in survival mode"

I cannot log in at all from my computer. I've tried resetting my password and all I get is "you've exceeded the maximum allowed attempts etc. Enter code" but I don't see a code?

Re: "You sleep in survival mode"

Keep in mind that the meds and their doses that worked well for your sleep deprived and stress hormone laden body and brain may not be the best med or dose for the new you. Do work closely with your doctor to sort through all this. My mood stabilizer doubles as a sleep med. I also take fish oil to....
