John, Thanks for the idea of getting another machine with a larger water tank. I hadn't considered that. I was thinking of getting an external tank to use. If someone could recommend a good one to get, that would be a big help. On the #1 setting, I go through about a third to half of the tank. When ...

Hi all, I've been on CPAP therapy for about a year now. I come on to the board about twice a month and see what's happening, but I thought I'd give my update. I started about a year ago. At first I struggled with a mask. Discovered I was allergic to latex with my first mask. Had to wait a week for m...

Wow! Almost 3 months on CPAP now. I think I'm finally getting the hang of it and doing much better the last couple of weeks. A quick over view: Spent the first month going through several different masks and my DME, Apria, worked will with me to find a mask for me. I somehow ended up with two mask; ...

The distilled water has no impurities in it so it boils at a higher temperature. I wasn't getting enough moisture in my sinuses and I was only going through 1/4 of the tank every night. I add the salt to lower the boiling point of water so I could get more steam into my sinuses. I have chronic sinus...

I use one of those memory foam pillows from Tempur-Pedic. Got it with my new mattress a few months ago. I like it a lot. My neck doesn't hurt any more and my mask sinks into the pillow. My two cents!

Read them manual last night and discovered what the ramp function does. Don't think I'll use that. However, but, I did discover what the problem is. I'm running out of water in my humidifier. My sinuses are drying out, I'm waking up congested. For last night, I refilled the humidifier by flash light...

The starting pressure for auto pressure. I've never used the ramp function. I don't know what it does.

Got some good news first...went to my family doctor today and she saw how much my blood pressure went down and she adjusted my medicine down...YEAH!! I have this problem most of the time when I wake up to use the bathroom at night. I can't get back to sleep because I feel like I can't breath enough ...

Is that a new form of aromatherapy?

Congratulations!! I'm jealous! I'm on month number two and still waiting for the treatment to kick in. I"ll have to admit that my blood pressure average has dropped a few points and I do feel a little better and little more energy. I'm tired in the late afternoon, but not as bad as before. I've gott...

I feel his pain...I have constant sinus problems. I use a neti bottle. I prefer to use a little pressure to pump the water through my sinuses. Also try using only distilled water. I use the anti-bacterial solutions to clean out my humidifier once a week. Remember to clean out the hose once a week to...

I looked at my intentional leak rate at each machine setting and my leak rate is never more than 15. I think that's pretty good. I've worn the mask at each pressure and Haven't noticed much of a leak. I'll give my body more time to adjust since I've only therapy a few. Just, this seems odd to me. Th...

I'll go back to my original dilemma: The top plot shown above had a small AHI and most of the plots look good, but I felt terrible all day. I was really tired and even fell asleep at work. The bottom plots don't look so good and my AHI was 14. I fell okay today even though I woke pretty early today....

Okay, here's a bad night:


Here's a good night:


Let me know what you think.
