What a fucking stupid answer. And so helpful. You call yourself goofproof but you clearly aren't. You are a goof and a moron.

If so, share with us your smart answer. .

Bad advice, the Zeo has been discontinued and the headband/sensors are not freely available.

If I am mistaken then please advise.

Re: Smoking interfering with CPAP therapy

Short term the smoking is probably unrelated to the open mouth and snoring. I would say the opposite - Smoking, even one smoke, can irritate the airways causing them to swell slightly. The swelling can cause snoring and mouth opening. I agree but I've heard that drinking alcohol can cause the airwa...

Re: SD Card Reader Issues

Try a new SD card or format your existing one. Take your mac to an ibar. Tell them what software your are using, I'm sure they would glad to know. Then call Respironics and explain to them why you don't believe their machines AHI report is real? If you get an AHI of 0.0 then most software just elimi...

Re: Why Are These SH Graphs So Awful?

P.S. I changed the EPR from 3 to 2. As I understand it, this setting makes exhalation easier if I'm correct. No 3 makes it easier as it reduces exhalation pressure (EPR) by 3cm instead of 2cm. But as others have suggested its looks like you need more inhalation pressure which may be more uncomforta...

Re: How to share SD card data?

The easiest way is to maybe use the cloud. I have a Microsoft One drive account. I've just tried this, I made a folder called Resmed on One Drive. I went into my local E:\ folder once I inserted my SD card into my laptop and then copied all the files/folders into the Resmed folder on my One Drive. I...

Re: Some people are really cranky here...

I think I've posted things I felt were out of character for who I want to be here maybe 2 or 3 times. I guess that's not too bad considering the many years I've been hanging out here.
