Re: Goggles available for dry-eye CPAP users
And I believe Oasis might be a brand of products for dry eye relief.

Re: Help interpreting iMatrix resvent Data
Thank you for sharing details about a flakey machine.
Hopefully others can afford quality machines over cheap ones.
Sorry you are in this rut.

Re: Misleading thread header
That's right. "Dreamwear not [recommended] for dry-eyes patients. Solutions?" Anyhow, tomorrow I expect to get the goggles I ordered to remedy the condition and will report on my experiences Monday morning if the goggles arrive on time. "Corrective lenses?" :-) Instead of replyingy you can simply e...

Re: Any reason Airsense 10 is waking me more than 560p
I agree that Resmed are superior machines.
I suspect your problems will vanish once you get used to the Airsense;
and you will wonder how you ever tolerated the Respironics.

Re: Dreamwear for dry-eyes patients
Such a mask needs to be invented.
Years ago!
Damn it.
Edit: I mean a cpap mask for sufferers of dry eye. (Heck, I'd buy one!)

Re: CPAP machine says I only use it for 2-3 hours when I'm working graveyard shifts?
Look at your averages over the last month, and you will see your sleep time looking realistic.
That is the usage amount your provider will see.
Each early afternoon and the following morning will count as one "night".
Weird, but it adds up.

Re: Nasal Irrigation
Brain eating amoeba, (or Naegleria fowleri,) is the nasty thing.
Your nasal passages come very close to your brain--so be careful what goes up there.

Re: Nasal Irrigation
If it is too difficult pouring saline into your nose, try a spray, followed by a snort.
Ocean brand is effective, and already sterile.
Way less solution, but a little could be enough.
Home made solution should only be made with sterile water and salts.

Re: nasal decongestants
Decongestants are not always the answer.
Try an antihistamine first.
Not as nasty--and might do the trick.

Re: nasal congestion question
Are you taking anything for allergies? My congestion improved vastly after being diagnosed with allergic rhinitis, and taking a nightly OTC antihistamine. It first came with a decongestant, but I realized I only need the antihistamine. My doctor recommended it after I complained about frequent cases...

Re: Accidentally erasing stored data on CPAP machine
I can totally change the time on my Airsense 10; But I choose not to. DST is stupid. Once I retired, I no longer have to play that damn game. What game is that? I'm retired too but I still like to know what the correct time is once in a while. I have clocks for that--on the wall, nightstand, microw...

Re: When to end CPAP
The AHI reported by the cpap is TREATED.
The low numbers only mean your cpap is effective.
I can see fine with my glasses--but can't see crap without them.
Same thing.
