Miss Emerita;
That is a great prifile picture You use ..
You gave Me some good advice over on the Apnea Forum ..

Oh, I'm so glad I could be of help! And yes, isn't that a gorgeous picture? I should upload it here. Oh wait, ....

Doesn't leave me with any decent options and to be honest.....I am getting a bit burned out. Same old questions, same old responses and same old bull shit. No one bothers to really research their problems or potential solutions. Same old know it alls that think that the world should revolve around ...

If all of you decide to bail and focus on a forum elsewhere, post where you go so I'll know where to look for you. I've posted for a while over on Apnea Board with the user name Dormeo. I'd find it really hard to stop visiting this forum, which has meant a lot to me, but already my effort to make t...

Despite Pugsy's best efforts, CPAP.com has not yet met two critical needs for this forum: 1. Fixing the connectivity problems, and 2. Making it possible for the moderator to delete old attachments. (Ideally, the moderator could also deputize other forum members to help with this.) What is wrong with...

Welcome! Your profile says you're using a ResMed Aircurve 10 VAuto machine. Could you confirm that in fact you're using an a ResMed Aircurve 10 ASV machine?

Welcome! It's just fine to jump around, though it'd be helpful if you'd stay in this same thread so that people can see what your questions have been. Could you try an experiment? This is without your mask on. Put the back of your tongue up against the roof of your mouth and let the rest of your ton...

I doubt whether CPAP use could change the daytime position of the epiglottis -- but this is a question you should ask your ENT. If you haven't already, you should also ask the ENT about the cause of your dysphagia and the potential treatments that might help you.

There's some good information here:

Also, try using the new machine during the day or evening, outside your bedroom, while you read, watch TV, or use your devices. This will speed up your adaptation.

Maybe I'm the only one, but I missed the "FS" in your thread title. You might revise it to "For Sale." As for getting a bilevel machine, you might try sending a private message to forum member LSAT, who sells lightly used machines. I got my VAuto from him, and everything went very smoothly.

Glad it worked out for you. In addition to an eye mask, I like using earplugs. My favorite kind are the waxy ones. They block a little less sound than the foam plugs, but they're much more comfortable for me.

I'd suggest you start with a fresh SD card in the new machine. Then just upload it into Oscar as usual. Let us know if you run into any problems.

Large leaks for 25% of the time is too much.

The site can no longer accept uploaded images. You'll need to use an image-sharing site like Imgur.

Just as a note: it's helpful to keep all your broadly related posts in one thread.

I wash the long hose and the water tank maybe once a year. I use distilled water in the tank and just top it up when it gets low. I wash the nasal interface once a week. I replace the filter in the machine once a month.

About that lock-down. Try putting the machine in airplane mode and see whether you can change your pressure settings then.

Before CPAP I loved reading in bed right before going to sleep, but I've taken to heart all the professional advice about using the bed only for sleep and sex. So now it's lights out once I get hooked up to the machine. I think this really made a difference. I've also been more careful about not usi...
