Your point is taken Your response suggests anything but taking the point. Given your CPAP is interfering with your sleep, and you believe you are not deriving any benefit, unplug it and put it in the closet.

I use a Full Face mask (AirFit F20i) and I still experience very bad dry mouth. Looking for a solution. Are you all using the tape with nasal masks … or can you also use tape with a full face mask?

Maybe one day I'll actually get benefit from the machine. Been using a machine 20+ years and never felt any benefit. I only stay on it because I need to stay in compliance for a script of modafinal.

If it did all people would need is minimum of 4 and max of 20 and no one would have problems or complaints or need anything in the way of follow up. It would take an "ideal world" for it to b...

My DR changed my machine to APAP at my request. I'll see if that does anything.

I previously posted it was fix...

Since AirSense 10 machines all had SD card slots, the AirSense 10 machines without up-to-date cellular modems started being sold as "Card to Cloud" machines. "Card to Cloud" simply means that if the SD card is brought into the durable medical equipment provider or the doctor's office, they can uplo...
