Re: FREE SleepWeaver Advance w/ Head Gear

Can I ask what was it that you didn't like about it? Just wondering if it is worth trying.

Re: swallowing air

I turned my exhale relief off and started having the same issue. Doctor said that the EFR would help with that. I turned it back on at 1 and it resolved the issue. Maybe it will for you too.

Re: Need Input

Could you move your window unit to your bedroom or look for one on sale for your bedroom? I'm sorry you're going through all this

Re: questions about lowering AHI

i am really not reperesenting that well - I can't reach my doctor by phone or email - I can email the RT to ask questions. Didn't argue about the pressure - just told him that they forgot to change it when they said they would and so I did it myself rather than try to go back in there - do not drive...

Re: questions about lowering AHI

thanks VikingGnome - you bring up some realy good points. I had to smile when I saw the part about not looking at the data and then deciding how I felt that morning! I have been guilty of that for sure. I guess I just want to get my OSA as controlled as possible - so many people post about their AHI...

Re: How do you power off the resmed S9?

Roger has a full face mask in his profile. The ability to use "Smart Start" is turned off when a full face mask is selected in the setup options. I use a FFM occasionally and it works fine with smart start. i just leave mine on and use the smart start feature unless I don't want any giant spkes in m...

Re: ResMed Quattro FX for her full face mask

Hi - I'm a newbie too. Whatever you do don't block those vents. That is for the CO2 to vent. Does it bounce back off your pillow and make you cold? I started using a small airline type pillow on top of my regular pillow. Allows more freedom for the mask to hang off. I think there are special pillows...

Re: Aloha...first night

Do you have to have a prescription to buy a mask from CPAP.com? I use a nasal mask and just picked up a FFM to try as my doctors office let me try a new one even though it has been 2 months. I guess the Aloha might not work well as my main problem right now is my mouth opening in the night. Chin str...

Re: questions about lowering AHI

thanks everyone! I am going to try to post some data later today so I can answer some of the questions. I feel good - I didn't feel that bad before starting CPAP but I am happy with how much better I feel. There were times with tiredness - that felt like I could not shake it. I don't have that at al...

questions about lowering AHI

I started CPAP therapy on 2/2/12. I have an S9 autoset and my inital pressures were set at 5 and 8 by the titration study. My sleep clinic was great during the studies and setting up and explaining the machine - horrible at supprot and follow up that they said they would do. RT told me he would call...
