Re: Do I need a baseline?
I'm not sure I understand your post completely, but I will do my best here -- My point of view is that a CPAP machine is not a diagnostic tool, it is a therapy device. The data recording functions are to try and track the effectiveness of the therapy. It sounds like you have not had a sleep study. I...

Re: Jaw Falling out of Full Face Mask
Years ago when I used a FFM, I had the same trouble. I found a short velcro strap and passed it through the lower straps on the mask and under my jaw, thus improvising a chin strap that hooked to the mask, not over my head. Worked great! Used this setup until I discovered nasal pillow masks, which I...

Re: trucker needs portable cpap
The Resmed S9 series is discontinued. You could probably find a unit to do what his at home does (what is he using now?) at a fairly cheap price. Team that up with the Resmed 12v adapter, and you can probably beat that $400 price and end up with a much nicer unit. Check with http://www.secondwindcpa...

Re: Leaks with Swift FX Nasal Pillows
The elastic back strap can stretch out some, but there is quite a bit of adjustment range, should be able to tighten it enough. If not, you may need to replace that strap. Don't get things too tight, it should be comfortable. The pillows can wear out. Some people only get two to four weeks. I got si...

Re: Does 10-15cm seem like a good pressure range for me?
Sonds like your mask leaks and resultant awakenings are much more bothersome to you, right? I was started out with the Mirage FX and it was OK, but I hated leaks into my eyes, woke me up several times a night. Also had mouth leaks. Went through several masks, same problem with leaks into eyes with e...

Re: My CPAP keeps waking my sleep partner
Are you open to trying a different mask?
The Resmed P10 nasal pillow is the quietest mask I know of. Almost no exhaust noise at all. Might be worth a try.
If that is not good enough let him sleep somewhere else.

Re: for sale - ResMed S9 autoset
yes thank you for the heads up. I checked and I did purchase the CPAP rather than rental. And I do appreciate the general support here that I should continue to use it, but it just doesn't work for me personally. it is too invasive. I am working with my dentist and sleep doctor to try a mouthpiece....

Re: CPAP Study: Win Amazon Giftcard!
Looked at the questionnaire, got to the first "task". No idea how that has anything to do with cpap, unless you are simply trying to figure out what words to use in marketing?
Anyway, I stopped, no idea how to even respond.

Re: Partially off topic: electricty and power surges
Just an off-the-wall thing. I had a laptop that had bizarre issues, some like yours. Finally found the culprit, the battery had "swelled". Caused intermittent issues due to physical pressure against the motherboard and keyboard. So if you haven't already, take out the battery and see if there is any...
