RandMan,

Please ignore the sarcastic people. I hope you can post your results & get some good advice as to how your therapy looks like it's going. Hang in there. And Pugsy is THE BESTEST. She's helped countless users tweak their settings to get optimal therapy. You're in good hands!

Congratulations you machine owner you! And with that extra $70 just lying around, well, I've been eyeing a new pair of New Balance sneakers, I'll forward you the details so you can surprise me at Christmas.

I am so happy for you! Wooohoooo!

Paul, I can't find any information one way or another in my searching. In fact, PR has yet to publish much of anything related to the DreamStation online. You may want to inquire via their email address or toll-free number: healthcare@philips.com North American phone # for PR Healthcare: (800) 285-5...

I don't believe there's a separate maintenance manual. But the regular user guide (which includes a "Caring For Your Device" section) can be found here.

If you need the clinician's manual, it can be requested here.

Whereas CPAP has one single pressure, a BiPap uses two pressures (hence the "bi"): the inhalation pressure (IPAP) & the exhalation pressure (EPAP). A BiPap is often used for patients who need a high level of pressure, and/or have additional health considerations like congestive heart failure or othe...

Is this the heated hose you're selling?

My best tip - check out TravelZoo.com (and even sign up for their weekly email). They are a very reputable outfit and have some outrageously cheap deals.

I would love any unused AirFit P10 extra small pillows. PM me, thanks!

Hi bbacher, The ResMed AirFit P10 is the most popular nasal pillow mask on this forum. I highly recommend it. It's the next generation of the Swift FX. Having said that, the new Philips Respironics DreamWear mask is brand new on the market - keep reading this forum to see how people like it. But, if...

I've been using the C-PAP every night for 3 years. I feel like I am not only addicted (can't sleep without it) but am short of breath during the day when I don't use . Almost as if I rely on positive pressure of air blowing in. DO others feel this way? Why on earth would you NOT use it? . By "when ...

I've read that this keeps the jaw closed but not necessarily the lips, which is where the leakage occurs. I guess the thinking is that closing the jaw at least increases the likelihood that the lips are also closed. Thoughts? You're right on both accounts. That's one reason some people tape their m...

That bigger lesson is that you were diagnosed with anxiety or depression and prescribed an SSRI. The proper diagnosis would have been OSA including sleep deprivation. With all due respect, I disagree with any of us attempting to diagnose anyone. As he states, he had anxiety even after xPAP therapy....

No one will tell you it is safe, simply because as soon as someone says, "Sure! Go ahead, you'll be fine!" will be the night that something terrible happens.
