For now I'm sticking with the P-10. Might try foregoing the lanoline or use it more sparingly and see if it keeps the whole medium pillow from disappearing up my nose. Sounds like you need to try a large pillow instead of a medium one. Only the very tips of the cones are supposed to enter the nostr...

kewlpewl, First, I sympathize with you. Severe aerophagia (at relatively low pressures) was my nemesis during my first year or so of CPAPing, and even now, 15 years later, I have occasional problems with it. But for the most part, I can keep it under control. Next, a bit about what's going on: Aerop...

Common knowledge on this forum, but I just verified by using OSCAR that the AirCurve 10 only internally retains waveform data for the current "day" (12pm yesterday -12pm today), and therefore when my sleep center inserts their SD card to download my data, they are only getting Summary Data (no wave...

I have been using CPAP at night for several years with no improvement. Daytime fatigue has become worse; my activities are more limited. and I take Lexapro, Modafinil ( for daytime fatigue ) , Lorazepam (for anxiety) and Olanzapine (helps me get more time asleep in the early-morning). I know some o...

super7pilot,

You have a gem of a sleep doctor. She's telling you and her other patients to set reasonable expectations and that the biggest one is IT TAKES TIME.

It's a real shame that most sleep doctors are not like yours!

Thanks for posting this!

Not so much luck with the P10. The strap system is very lacking for a side sleeper. I had to cinch the straps to the pain point to keep the mask on my nose. You are correct about the F40. I thought it was an 'i' model as are most of resmeds new fashion over function models. I'm a dedicated side sle...

Well, That was a regressive night. Went to bed with the nasal pillow P30i. Something I noticed that was strange. And this was the bouncing I could feel in the hollow mask frame. Could it be that with EPR-3 (at the start of the night) that as I exhale then right after that exhale starts the machine ...

Thanks for that info Robysue1, I have felt all along that a lot of my issues are with nasal congestion and a deviated septum on the right nostril. The septum was a recent revelation by an ENT. Given this info, I'd just ignore the small remaining amount of activity in your flow limitation graph. My ...

Night four report: I went to bed - with mask - at 10:30 and spent the next four hours lying in bed wide awake, every muscle tight and every nerve tense Lying in bed for four hours NOT sleeping is counterproductive. You are training your brain to resent and resist the CPAP. In general, if you haven'...

I regularly have leaks according to My Air. Do I have to be concerned? As pugsy said, it depends on how large the leaks are and how long they last. Unfortunately that can be tough to figure out from just the MyAir dashboard score where leaks are assessed with a Mask Seal number between 0 (bad) and ...

Keep me posted on what happens, particularly if you get discouraged during the week long experiment because you have a bad night or two. Hello robysue ! After two weeks I come back with new infos ! Thanks for posting the new info. It's my bedtime, so I don't want to try to respond tonight, but I wi...

My sleep Dr. said that it isn't even close to being normal that folks can just slap on a mask and breath high pressure air and fall into a restful sleep right away. She said it is fine to put on the mask and if it bothers me an hour later. Just take it off and try again the next night. IT TAKES TIM...

Seems it's some proprietary secret with Resmed as to what the reading on the oscar scale even means. Does a .25 FL mean that there is a 25% restriction. Does .50 mean a 50% restriction? Nobody knows what the numbers on the flow limitation graph in Oscar mean because Resmed hasn't published any unit...

OSCAR loaded normally. Nothing happened when I loaded the SD Card into my computer. I checked the SD card and found no errors. All my data seemed to be intact. The problem first occurred on 11/24/24. Does the SD Card slot have a problem? On my rather aging 2012 MacBook Pro, the SD card slot is a bi...

New to Cpap. Been 10 days . Doing fine so far. Have resmed machine. Congratulations on having a pretty straightforward adjustment period! 0.8 per hour How many episodes is that Less than one event per hour on average. In order to figure out exactly how many episodes occurred during the night, we'd ...
