I usually sleep on my stomach, but am trying to learn to sleep on my side

Before you give up entirely on stomach-sleeping, check out Dr. Falcon's blog on the ideal stomach-sleeping position for CPAPers - https://www.uarsrelief.com/sleeppositions.html

I am still just flabbergasted why my O2 ring shows over 1000% uptick in desaturations compared to historical data I have over the last year. I'm suspicious of the accuracy of your O2 data. My sleep tech reviewed the graphs If you use a free account at SleepHQ.com, our members can do just as well, o...

I just now looked. They have a ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet discounted to $672. Great machine. Good price.

considering buying a Luna II CPAP

Personally, I stay away from Chinese-made machines.

You could register at CPAP.com and keep an eye out for discounts. You might find a ResMed AirSense 10 or 11 as cheap as a Luna. Whichever model, make sure it's a ResMed AutoSet.

Night 2 (Dec 11) was almost back to normal: average SpO₂ 96 %, only 37 seconds under 90 %, but still 77 drops over 3 %, when historically I ALWAYS have under 10. How do you grade your day of December 11? Energetic? Any excess sleepiness? At bedtime on the 11th - fatigued but not stressed? Same ques...

Do you also mean to say my doctor will have the ability to send a NEW script to Medicare (for a replacement machine)?

The script goes to the DME. The DME deals with Medicare.

Every five years, I've gotten a new machine with Medicare. You won't get one if you don't try.

Which drugs/dosage/timing? Caffeine?

I also watched a couple of unboxing videos and it looked to me like their units weren't sealed in any way, either. So maybe that is just how they are shipped?

It wouldn't bother me, but if it bothers you, call CPAP.com and ask them.

Who was the supplier? It's OK to name names. You may have received a machine that was used by a patient or used by the supplier for demonstrations. Go into the clinical menu - https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1560654/Resmed-Airmini.html?page=16#manual Check the machine hours (Total usage hours– the...

If you still have your AutoSet machine, use it for one night. Get a free account at SleepHQ.com, upload your data, and then post the link in this thread. I'm skeptical that you have treatment-emergent central apnea.

If you have no symptoms, which symptoms do you expect CPAP to improve?

This might help. (I haven't watched it.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJojSMC4zQc

I usually have dry mouth, even when I wake during the night This is an indication that you are leaking air through the mouth. It could be happening where you see the high leak on the graph. This needs to be dealt with because it could also be having a negative impact on your CPAP therapy. Some solu...

It should be going INTO the filter compartment cover and then through the machine and humidifier to the output hose.

I'm wondering whether it's worth just getting a machine second-hand (with a new mask) and using the OSCARS software to figure out a good pressure as a preventative method for the time being - what do you think? You could certainly do that. I would recommend using a free account from SleepHQ.com. It...
