Glad to hear you went off the Sinemet. Have you tried Mirapex for RLS? The neurologist/sleep specialist who prescribed it for me said he found most people did better on Mirapex than Requip -- fewer side effects and works better (and that was the case for me, with the improved performance indicated b...

Would really like to hear Resmed's rationale for this move and also the CPAP.com folks' take on why they are doing this! Could they have been pressured by the local medical equipment providers who felt the competition? On the face of it, that would seem peculiar as Resmed already has a very good sha...

Smart Snork!

Going to try clipping one to the classic hair scrunchy/cuphook headboard hose holder.

I had problems with dry morning eyes too when I used nasal pillow systems such as the Swift which were vented in a way in which the exhaust could blow up near my eyes. Switching to an Aura helped as it is so leak-free (at least for me) and the vent is on eye level but blows upward. I also use GenTea...

Also, what are the long term effects of heavy chest breathing? Can an increase of forced breathing over a long term cause any kind of strain on your heart? My chest sometimes hurts after wearing the Aura, which is a great concern to me. I think it is a perfect design, just needs some more professio...

Is anybody else here concerned about how well the Aura clears CO2? I recall complaining about the noise and wind from the CO2 port on a previous interface to my sleep specialist, asking why the port couldn’t be away from the face. His response was that the further the port is from the nose, the less...

Last post was me guested again.

These noises are still the most disturbing thing about my CPAP therapy. I agree! Despite wearing earplugs. What bugs me most is how they change slightly (and thus wake me) when even tiny leaks develop. Am also currently using a Swift. Supposedly you can quiet it a bit by putting some net fabric in ...

That last post was from me. Been gone a while and forgot to sign in.

I had mine on 1 last night and got condensation in it. Lori, if you're using the RemStar integrated HH, as I am, I think the 1 setting is no heat at all. That seems to be as low as one can turn it down, and I've never noticed any heat at that setting. So the fact that you had rain-out at the 1 sett...

I hope my DME didn't steer me wrong. He said since my refrigerator has a built-in PUR water filter, I could use my water from the dispenser. That's all I've ever used. Hope he was right... He may be right. But I wouldn't use it: PUR filters don't remove chlorine, just the taste/odor of the stuff. (...

John, Another possible cause of mask removal, IMHO: Nasal congestion. Sinus congestion usually peaks (due to circadian cycles of body chemistry) around 3-4 a.m. You may go to bed with no noticeable congestion, but develop it in the wee hours of the morning without realizing it, perhaps with only the...

I have over filled the tank many times by not being able to see the water. It would make it much easier to see the water level as I am filling the tank. I'd be wary of adding food coloring too. How about just keeping a cup or glass or jar what holds about the right volume of water near your set-up ...

YES! Open up the Encore Pro software. On the top you will see a heading called "Preferences." Click on that and then at the bottom left of that box, make sure USB is checked off. There is also a communication test at the bottom right to click on. Nope. USB was already selected in EP preferences. An...

If you right click on each item and select properties, it will tell if it is working properly or you can also update the drivers from there. A yellow exclamination point means there is a problem. Hope this may help. No yellow exclamation points and everything says it is working. Thanks, though. It'...
