Simple, fast, straight forward answer. Saves me lots of time. Exactly what this forum is for. Thanks!

tell us what you think... why would it, or why wouldn't it?

That seems like a slightly passive-aggressive answer. How would I know? May the Transcend machine has different types of connections and uses its own proprietary hoses?

Will a transcend machine work with my existing Resmed Mask?

I have been on CPAP for 3 months. Lately I have been waking up with very dry mouth so I up'd the humidity level from 4 to 6. After a couple of hours of sleep water condensed in the hose and caused all kinds of weird gurgling sounds. So my question is firstly, some have said that one should actually ...

I have just about the best Medical Insurance you can get. I had to wait about 6 weeks to get my study and that was after two weeks of trying to get a hold of the lab to schedule me in. Because of my insurance this lab did not even require me to see a doc before my study, I simply had to fill in a ve...

Many thanks to all of you. I will be patient and look for clues. I ratcheted up my CPAP to 9 last night and got the AHI to 1.5! Best score yet.

Yes exactly

Julie wrote:What are your pressure settings? Often the doctor or DME will leave them at defaults of 4 and 20, and most people don't get adequate treatment until the low setting is moved up a bit, to e.g. 6 or 7.

I am on CPAP 8

It's possible that OSA is only partially responsible for your lack of energy...Have you had a complete physical with blood work? Yes, I've had all kinds of tests. I'm pretty healthy otherwise. I have noticed two improvements--no more snoring which my spouse loves of course, and only get up at most ...

But you have to admit. Sometimes these nut cases do provide comic relief.

Started with APAP mid January with very high AHI of 57. Been using APAP quite successfully with AHI under 5 most nights and very few leaks. Over 7 hours per night on average. But I'm not really feeling any different yet. No noticeable increase in energy. How long does it usually take before one noti...

He's also a super freak right wing nut

Super. Thanks for the very useful info. Yes I do have the Airsense 10.

Do I shut if off? If so what happens to my RESMED sleep report< Does the machine know that if it is turned off for a a couple of minutes that it's still the same session?

18 weeks on waiting list! Wow. Well I wonder if that says anything about the British Health System as against ours here in the USA. I was diagnosed in late December with Severe OSA and I got my CPAP last week.
