You are getting good advice. And you are making some progress. But resolving not to sleep without PAP, ever, is still step one. Training your brain to accept the mask requires the same sort of patience and firm resolve as is required in training a pet or a child. The brain has to learn that it can'...

The goal is too keep young, in harmony with the medical teachings of the famous Dr. Bob. (I think he has honorary doctorates from Princeton and from St. Andrews, anyway): https://youtu.be/hCc2SczzqWE He was right very early on, ya know, that blowing wind is the answer. Its the first time ever I hav...

Until you actually SLEEP WITH THE MASK AND MACHINE ON none of this matters. I'm really trying , but its an up hill struggle :( I'm going to stay with it and have my fingers crossed that some day I will finally get to sleep while the machine is on and I'm wearing the mask. From what I can see and un...

Well last night was my Fourth time using my Resmed machine , so this time I decided to alter only the minimum and maximum pressure settings , not really knowing the best option relating to those numbers I thought I would start with a low minimum number of 7:0 and the maximum number set to the highes...

Your main job right now....learning to fall asleep with the mask and machine on and keep it on. Learning to fall asleep with the mask and machine on And keeping it on. You haven't learned that yet. I'm going to try my best , I promise 🙏 . You need to stop freaking out every time the pressure change...

Ive just had this thought .... My current Resmed AirFit F20 mask has a silicone cushion , I’m wondering if I change it to a Foam cushion , if that may improve things. It's worth a try. I found the foam F20 is more comfortable than the silicone, but the cushions only lasted 3 or 4 weeks before they ...

As advised I attempted not to remove the face mask and attempted to sleep while wearing the mask and I slept only on my side . This time ( my third night ) according to the Oscar report I managed to sleep for 3 hours and 35 minuets . Towards the end of that 3 hours and 35 minuets time period , whil...

The thing I can’t quite understand is that according to the Oscar report ( I think ) there are no leaks shown towards the end ( 00:00 to 01:10 ) time period . But during that same time period I definitely felt the mask was leaking air to some extent , not large air leaks but a series of small air l...

As as suggested I reset the Resmed machine to CPAP mode , put my mask on and switched on the Resmed machine , within a few seconds the air pressure started to fill the mask up , but that continuing air pressure was just to intense and very over powering I believe you. BUT, that means your fixed pre...

Did you do the experiment with the straw? You have a mindset that huge volumes of air are being thrown at you, at very high pressures - this just isn't so. The machine can't generate enough pressure to blow up a balloon. I use the F20 mask with my ASV and pressures regularly go over 20 (up to aroun...

what do you mean when you say .... I'd put the machine on CPAP ? CPAP mode...fixed pressure and not auto adjusting. That will stop the "sudden" pressure increases that seem to feed the leak monster. The provider/clinician manual explains how to do it. https://www.respshop.com/manuals/ResMed-AirSens...
