Hi everyone, I'm someone with UARS who is desperately looking to convert his ResMed AirSense 10 into a BIPAP machine via the Airbreak modification (https://airbreak.dev/). Unfortunately I lack the technical knowledge to carry this out myself, and by now my sleep deprivation is severe to the point t...

My last one was about five years ago, and things haven't really changed. My CPAP died, but we've moved halfway across the country. Is there any issue with getting my old prescription from the previous doctor and getting another CPAP? Do I even really need a prescription? Yes, unfortunately you have...

I also attach the last chart I have from the day before yesterday. Going out on a limb here and thinking you're under-treated... 7cm looks to be too low. See the flow limitations? If your machine was on APAP it would be climbing the pressures then. I'd try going up 1cm at a time and see if those ev...

Bought a fit kit for the F&P Evora full-face mask... I'm a confirmed F&P customer, started on the Zest 14 years ago, moved on to the Simplus. I'm not a nasal pillow fan... turns out that this mask feels like a pillow mask -erading as a FF mask. I tried on the default Medium and moved over to the Lar...

What kind of tape are you using? And why do you do the two vertical strips at the end of your mouth? If you have a long enough tape, shouldn't a single strip across work? I use the Cover Roll Stretch Tape (CRST)... two rolls 13$ on the Zon: https://www.amazon.com/Cover-Roll-Stretch-yards-Hypoallerg...

I took your comment to heart and tried a longer piece of tape to make sure I got the corners really well. But today's chart looks identical to my previous chart. Tonight, maybe I'll put one horizontal over my lips, and two verticals at the ends to secure it even better to see if that makes any diff...

In my opinion it's tape job failure... big mask leaks like that tend to wake you up. Also, the profile of tapering up to leak plateau is a tape job fail IMO. The tape is still in place... it just leaked from a corner. Test your tape job in the morning by puffing against it. All IMO.

That makes a lot of sense, so turn of the Auto portion of the machine? (snip) Yes... sorta. The pressure will climb to fight Flow Limitations... it's not going sky high, but less variables now the better. IMO you're over-treating... what with those CA's and CSR. Baby steps... just turn off EPR and ...

(snip) Last night I was exhausted and I was able to wear it for the whole night for the most part. Still woke up here and there but I noticed CSR in my Oscar data this morning and am freaking out a little. (snip) Yep, that would freak me out too. I also see lots of CA's, not so many hypopneas, only...

Does any one have tips... or products...on how to get clear nasal passage ways? (snip) I do nasal irrigation occasionaly. People hate me for this... but I can recommend Afrin. There is nothing like it that works as good... in fact, it's too good... I'm addicted, been using it for decades. I buy the...

New user - 44 days in. Its gone mostly well... Until last night. I kept waking myself up or startling myself if just zoning out to sleep with air escaping my mouth. I haven't had any issue with that since night 1 or 2. Most of it seemed to be just out of a corner of my mouth, like Popeye. So 42 suc...

Somehow I totally missed this response. Ironically I've learned a lot what you said here in the past month and things have improved. Not as good as I was doing in the beginning, that was the OSCAR chart with the 0.69 AHI I had initially posted, but better. I was on BiPAP because I wasn't able to to...

My next step is going to be to try using a smaller piece of tape over the center of my lips to see if I can get away with a more minimal "non-hostage" taping format. :) See that rising leak thing at 05:20? That's mouth leaking, your tape job failed I believe. You were having some nice REM and got t...

(SNIP) I struggle to breathe at night because my nasal airways just feel so narrow, it’s worse at around 3AM and during REM sleep which is when most of my night sweats start. I just thought it was a blood sugar crash from adrenal fatigue but i now know better. I also get nasal congestion every nigh...

I hadn't looked at my OSCAR data until now. And now that I have had a chance to look at it, it is clear that the mouth taping did work for most of the night. (snip) Again, for those that are long time mouth tapers, how do you deal with things that cause discomfort or inconvenience when your mouth i...
