No Data Transmission

I just discovered that there has been no data transmitted the last two nights from my ResMed Airsense machine to my app on the iPhone and iPad. I've used the machine as usual both nights. Do I assume this has something to do with AT&T - could they down? Have not had any problems since getting this n...

Re: Nasal passages closing

Have the same issue - fighting it all the time. Luckily one nostril will remain open when the other one closes up! But the congestion can give me a headache. Don't know what the answer is - I use all kinds of products which help temporarily and some days are better than others. Since I'm not sick, ...

Re: Dry mouth with full face mask

Using all these various products for dry mouth are only temporary fixes (i.e. while the product is in the mouth!) - I know because I've used them. I get a dry mouth even with taping my mouth shut (I use pillows and/or Brevida mask) - how does this happen? The taping makes it impossible to open my mo...

Re: Red Face/Green Face

I started to look into getting Sleepyhead but was stumped because it seemed like it wouldn't work with my machine - Resmed Airsense 10 Autoset. Was I reading something wrong in the area where it said what machines it works with?

Red Face/Green Face

I have been tracking my leak rate and AHIs for the last month using my four different masks because I was very curious how each one rated. One thing I have noticed with the red face-green face icons on the machine is that they are somewhat inconsistent in that I can have a red face with a leak "scor...

Snoring Husband - Help!

Have been using a CPAP for 6-7 years so well know the risks/benefits of not correcting/correcting my sleep apnea problem. Husband, however, flatly REFUSES to get tested for his MAJOR snoring problem. I have tried and tried to get him to go for a sleep study - no luck. Have passed on info about the r...

Re: Anyone here use the new Resmed F20 mask...question for you

Tried both the F10 and F20. Hated both and took them back after one night. Leaked badly and created weird suction on my face.

Dry Mouth & Dental Issues

I have recently been waking up several times a night for the last few months with a very dry mouth - been on CPAP for 6 years and not had this problem before. I also have AFib and while talking about this issue on an AFIb forum I received this reply below. I had never heard this before and am wonder...

Re: Dog & cat proof CPAP cabinet

Well here's my cat "problem" - cat likes to get up around 5:30 - 6:00 AM to eat her canned food and of course I have to get up to give that to her. So.......one of her ways to get me up is to pull and/or chew on my headgear (she loves the Swift FX especially) and my heated air hose. Punched holes in...

Re: THE GREAT PILLOW EXCHANGE

Am looking for Swift FX medium pillows - can't get these from the DME any more and have been using this mask for 6 years. They say that Medicare no longer reimburses for these pillows!

Re: Insurance and masks with multiple pillow sizes

I have a question regarding Swift FX pillows - my DME tells me they can't give these to me any more because "insurance (Medicare/Blue Cross) won't pay for them." Not that they are discontinued, just that they won't pay. I find them still on the CPAP website for sale so what's the deal? Anybody know?...

Re: Dry mouth

I have been having the same problem and it's miserable!! I've been a CPAP user for over 6 years and never had this problem until I got a new machine last September. I now have the AirSense10 - don't know if the dry mouth problem is related to the new machine or not. I wake up numerous times a night ...
