Re: Lines, marks, red spots, mask marks in the morning on my face.

Thanks, Pugsy. I will def need to make a pad for my forehead, because it is actually sore/tender on either side.

Lines, marks, red spots, mask marks in the morning on my face.

Day #10. Or Night #10, rather. I have to be up early tomorrow because I'm having a crew come to the house to do some work outside. This means I have to be out there with them. And this means I have to be at least 2 hours before they get here, because it takes about one hour for all of the new wrinkl...

Re: Card Reader for Philip Respironics SD card

Thank you also, JasWilliams. I do have a Windows 10 machine at my other house.... but I don't know what sql software is. Maybe I can figure it out? I'll go to the apneaboard you mentioned and see what I can learn. Thank you.

Re: Card Reader for Philip Respironics SD card

Thanks, D.H. It looks like we have the same, or similar machines, according to your pictures at the bottom of your posts. I have tried to use the sleephead software, but it doesn't tell me anything. Are YOU able to use it with your DreamStation machine? How am I doing it wrong?? I downloaded and ins...

Re: Card Reader for Philip Respironics SD card

Awww mannn, I'm so disappointed. I did d/l the SH software, got nowhere with it. Can't find an Encore download anywhere either. So you guys are right--my crappy respironics dreamstation tells me NOTHING, only how many hours I slept! I'm so bummed!

Can I request a different CPAP machine from my DME?

Hello everyone. This is only my 2nd night on this board, so please forgive my ignorance. And also, bear with me, as I'm legally blind and reading so much is sometimes difficult, but I'm trying!! I have a question, or two: When I went to the pharmacy to pick up my CPAP machine, the man who helped me ...

Re: Need newbie help, please. "Where a CPAP newbie should start" didn't help me

Thanks everyone.

The bottom of my machine says "DSX200H11". So I guess I have the regular machine. Not the pro or the other one. I guess I didn't get a fancy machine, but I'm happy with the one I have, so far.

Thanks for the help, I'll start reading those links right away!

Re: New to CPAP therpay, 1st week; gassy AND hungry!

Hahaha, my Dad always said that too-- he'd fart and say, "Did you hear that frog?!" Always funny.

But NOT funny when I'm in the dentist's chair and one rips out!! Gosh, I sure do hope this gets better......

Truthfully, I sure have amazed myself with some real long ones as of late......!

Re: Card Reader for Philip Respironics SD card

I have a question: My machine has an SD card too. Can I pop it out and put it into my iMac and see stuff? Will it give me info and stats and tell me HOW well/terrible I am sleeping? I use this DreamMapper app for my iphone that the Philips company said to use.... basically, all it seems to tell me, ...

Re: Cleaning unreachable parts inside the machine

What do you mean, the machine 'keeps infecting you, and you cannot use it?' !!! I'm new to CPAP therapy. This is my first week. I don't see how microbes can get in the machine, because it simply sucks in air from right outside of the machine, passes through one or two filters and then through the ho...

New to CPAP therpay, 1st week; gassy AND hungry!

Hello everyone. I'm Molly. I'm a 49 year old female, who had a sleep study 2 weeks ago. The dr. said I stopped breathing anywhere from 24-48 seconds 66 times just in the first hour of my study. Scared the crap out of me! I knew it was bad, because I'd been waking up gasping and choking, terrible nig...
