Re: Is it mask movement leak or mouth opening leak or both?

Folks to be fair you have to understand that when I wear the P10 mask it is ridiculously loose. I probably need to tighten up the headgear a bit but I am a lazy sot. So the mask movement doesn't come as a big surprise to me. Again remember....the leaks did NOT cause wake ups that I am aware of. I ha...

Re: Eclipse Bleep

There is a significant ongoing expense... about a dollar a day for the bleeps. Well....it is covered by insurance (same co pay as for nasal cushions or nasal pillows replacements) for those with insurance and those without insurance there are ways to bring that dollar a day cost down quite a bit. B...

Re: Is it mask movement leak or mouth opening leak or both?

Looks like mouth tape job failing to me... that's what mine look like anyway. https://sleephq.com/public/0a2adc38-6ac5-4945-b005-1ad330799694 You would be wrong....the tape was ONLY USED the one night and it was stuck solid as a cemented rock the next morning. It never failed. That fact I am 100% c...

Re: Is it mask movement leak or mouth opening leak or both?

Okay....remember that we don't sleep the same each night...and that's going to include variables in either mask movement leak or mouth opening leak. It's why I don't go into panic mode when I see a lot of leaks (again these leaks didn't wake me up no matter how big or little they are) and why I choo...

Pugsy what version of windows are you using and what type of internet connection do you have.
Windows 10 home Pro and I use Hughes satellite to get my internet.

I did get an email from Carolyn last night and she said she sent a message to IT about the problem.

Re: Eclipse Bleep

I have been using the Eclipse for over 2 years now. Was part of the original Beta Testers for it. So I got tons of experience. Do you have specific questions that I might be able to answer? Have you watched the videos? https://bleepsleep.com/the-eclipse/ https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-...

Re: Too much brain fog to sort this out - heading in right direction or no?

These machines will increase the pressure in response to OAs, hyponeas, snores and FLOW LIMITATIONS. The reason is because the machine will try to prevent OAs and hyponeas from happening. Snores and FLs are early warning signs that the airway is trying to collapse. FLs and snores can also disturb sl...

Is it mask movement leak or mouth opening leak or both?

Anyone want to offer an idea on what these leaks were/are and what could/should be done about it? And later I will tell you what I did. Hint...2 different masks involved (the P10 and the Eclipse). Please bear in mind I slept through ALL these leaks...the big and the little. http://i.imgur.com/hWXDZb...

Re: Mouth breathing and AHI score

A lot will depend on just how much and how long in terms of duration of mouth breathing a person does as to how much it might affect the therapy effectiveness and any subsequent AHI result. Was it 5 minutes or 5 hours???? Was it tiny amount of air escaping the mouth or a tornado coming out the mouth...

Re: UARS but normal AHI RDI but Many spontaneous arousals

I wish some people had replied to this with good info. This question has been answered dozens of times. The problem is people don't like the answer. Which is: You can't fix bad sleep with a CPAP machine. What....the machine can't fix all the world's problems including delivering world peace???? Dam...

Re: Anyone else experiencing connection problems here on the forum

Well last night I had 2 full hours where I couldn't get in to the forum. Finally just said "screw it" and went to bed. Thought maybe it was down for maintenance and they were trying to fix the problem. This morning....back to same old crap. Takes repeated attempts to get past that message. Sigh......

Re: Too much brain fog to sort this out - heading in right direction or no?

Are you experiencing any nasal congestion? I don't see you needing a bilevel machine from these reports at this time. Let's see where the pressure wants to go with the max at 20. Nasal congestion....that question is real important. I will explain in more detail if you tell us you are having some nas...

Re: Help for this weekend pls?

Try your new settings (the increase in EPAP) while awake for about 10 minutes. You should be able to tell how it goes. Turn ramp off because unless you have changed the ramp starting pressure setting it is probably giving you EPAP 4 and PS 4 which makes IPAP 8 when you first start the machine. EPAP ...

Re: Help for this weekend pls?

What mode? What is your PS? I increased the Epap setting from 6-7. Left the Ipap as it was on 15. Did I do right.....increasing the pressure or should I have decreased it? Impossible to answer because 1...we don't have all your settings available 2...we don't know what the problem was/is so there's ...
