Manometer ordered (from our sponsor, of course) and it will probably be a week or two until I receive it and have any more information to share.
Thanks Pugsy.

Re: change to new machines causing problems
They think a pressure of 8 is a pressure of 8 and that's that. I know you all know differently. Eh, no, not really. Assuming the machine is working properly, not malfunctioning, 8cmh2o is 8cmh2o. Have them stick it on a manometer and make sure... Everything else has remained constant. I have not ch...

Re: change to new machines causing problems
Thanks Palerider. I appreciate the feedback. I found a separate post from another user with a similar problem. I thought maybe it might help clarify what I’m trying to say. http://www.cpaptalk.com/viewtopic/t116447/DreamStation-Reading-Higher-AHI-than-System-One.html?sid=654db38ac192fa755200a18d8fe9...

change to new machines causing problems
HI All, Faithful CPAP user for five years, very grateful to this board for the wealth of information and the direct support when I've need it. So I'm asking again for some help, beyond what doctors and sleep therapists understand. You are the experts in this game. I have recently been in the process...

Re: bed pillow question
@glarnold - thank you for the tip on the mypillow. I'm reluctant try a different pillow at this time. I like the buckwheat hull pillow a lot except for not yet being able to overcome the mask leaks. @M'ohms - I did not think at all of using something to keep myself from rolling towards or onto my st...

Re: bed pillow question
Hi Julie, Thanks for your reply. I should add that I've tried the CPAP Contour Pillow too with the same problem. Do you think the PAPillow will be really a different experience from these? I feel like my head will still just roll into the pillow. I guess I'm thinking that I've already invested about...

bed pillow question
Seeking your collective wisdom again, I've been testing different masks, trying to find "the one!" (singular sensation, every little step she takes...I digress. ) The problem I am having with all of them really lies with my pillow and not with the masks. I have the buckwheat hull pillow that comes h...

Re: THE GREAT PILLOW EXCHANGE
I have a non pillow extra that I am not sure if anyone would be interested in. It is a cover for a water chamber. I have a PR system one, 60 series, and I have the heated humidifier with the heated tubing. Apparently there's a certain top for the water chamber with this model. The chamber was shippe...

Re: AHI/Leak Data and Nasal Pillows vs FFM
Sorry Pugsy, I'm a slow learner. Saturday night AHI 19.53 CA 5.08, OA 14.06, HA 0.39 I should add this was only 2 1/2 hours with the mask on Sunday night AHI 8.88 CA 1.73, OA 6.28, HA 0.87 This was 4 1/2 hours with the mask on So then my question is why would my pressure needs change with a differen...

Re: AHI/Leak Data and Nasal Pillows vs FFM
So I'm stumped, and I feel like I am asking the same question again that I started with, but let me make it more general, all other things being equal (leak rate, pressure settings, etc.) has anyone else seen significantly different AHI scores with different masks? If so, any theories as to why? Thi...

Re: AHI/Leak Data and Nasal Pillows vs FFM
Ok, the FlexFit 431 is comfortable, light, and seems to mostly stay in place and mostly not leak but my AHI is not good, 19 and 11 the last two nights. I'm bummed. Going to make some adjustments to the F10 to see if I can make it work. Thanks.

Re: AHI/Leak Data and Nasal Pillows vs FFM
Krelvin, thanks for that additional info. I did not know some masks had higher than average, maybe even troublesome, vent rates. It also caused me to look up the masks on the F&P website and the specs show that the 431 has the highest vent rate, the 432 is lower and the forma is still a bit lower th...
