Re: Started using a new brand of tape
I will be sure to try that next time. I tried the Nexcare paper tape to start and while it does help, i am finding that it does come undone at some point during the night. Also its not quite wide enough for me. I'm not crazy about taping but it is helping.

Re: Leak numbers
I am actually in Kingsville (about 1/2 outside of Windsor) and I have never had allergies before.
The headaches seem to be getting better so lets hope every morning they fade a little more.

Re: Leak numbers
Ok. Last night was much better than the previous two nights. I woke up feeling pretty good. Then about 10 minutes after getting up out of bed my nose started running I have been having to blow it every couple minutes. I set my humidity way down last night, used the lotion around my nose and taped my...

Re: Leak numbers
I was actually thinking that since the nasal congestion only appeared after I upped the humidity, I would turn the humidity down and try taping my mouth. i guess looking back now it does sound funny that I am going to suffocate myself tonight! lol Anyway, I should probably try the simply saline to h...

Re: Leak numbers
THe place where I got my CPAP set the humidity at 3 (right in the middle). After my first bad night I set it higher because I thought that may be the problem. I will be sure to set iit lower and see how it affects my sleep. Thanks for the tip!

Re: Leak Rate with Swift FX
I have had 3 nights with the swift FX medium pillows now. First night was great, the next two here hard with bad leak numbers.
I have been getting some good advice/tips in my "Leak numbers" thread.
Good luck!

Re: Leak numbers
Thank Max I will try that! ZQuest, I think I will go get some of that tape today and see what happens tonight. Its just really frustrating because the first night went so well and now its difficult. I will be patient because I know in the long run the benefits are incredible compared to the start up...

Re: Leak numbers
Thanks wil. I don't see anywhere in the software where it shows data from throughout the night. Do you know if that has to be turned on somewhere? I have a feeling my mask was too tight (sore nose in the morning) which probably caused the leak.

Leak numbers
I've had two nights with my cpap machine now. (Resmed S9 with the nasal pillows) The first night was good but the second morning I woke up with a really bad headache. This prompted me to find and install the software to read the SD card. The only thing that stands out is the leak rate. The leak data...
