Update: I had only been wiping my face mask down, except of my water tank was not doing a full cleaning (3 week period). I soaked my hose and headgear in slightly warm water with dish soap and cleaned everything. Headgear stayed in place last night much better, leak rate was only 10.4, 95% 30 and A...

Maybe this forum is not the best source for the information you want. You would have to assume that people whose MMA surgery succeeded came back to report about it, at least in the same number as those whose surgery failed. When the doctors say the results "vary widely" there must be some research a...

These are not wipes. You dissolve a sheet in warm water and soak your CPAP tube, mask, etc. for 5 minutes to sanitize everything. I want to stress that you don't need to sanitize anything on or around a CPAP machine. the only thing that goes through the machine is the very same air you breathe each...

Are you aware that anxiety disorder can be the result of untreated sleep apnea? Think about it: every night that you were sleeping without cpap, you were getting partially (or fully) choked, and your brain was jumping info full emergency panic mode, waking you up to make you breathe better. Those wa...

Also, I am considering taping with the full-face mask. Is that a good idea? NO NO NO. BAD idea. Given your anatomical restrictions, you need to breathe through you mouth if your nose becomes obstructed. Taping will just make your struggle from more oxygen and wake you. I am not a "mouth breather" b...

do you think this can be fixable with ENT No. Maybe? [...] ENT consult might be helpful. He (OK I'm sure he's a he) may be intolerant of a nasal interface which he'll undoubtedly start out with. My point about the ENT only concerned the higher AHi during REM. Can problematic nose breathing manifest...

Do you think CPAP will help? Yes How long does it take me to get better? It varies. For some people the change is immediate. Others need more time to get used the CPAP. We can help you get used to this new way of sleeping. do you think this can be fixable with ENT No. REM sleep is an important slee...

Some of us mentioned the the Bleep Eclipse pinches their nose. Others noticed that some versions of it are noisy. Others had trouble making the adhesive stick And some found it heavy on their upper lip. The Lanky Lefty 27 has uploaded a video that really solved all of the above for me . Make your Pe...

Nick of SleepHQ has a great explanation of the Prisma's APAP algorithms. Nick has his own brand of humor - which not everyone might like. But the information itself is presented very clearly. He also notes some of the implications for setting the machine up. https://youtu.be/Fzx2-iJfxA4 And if you p...

For anyone following this thread: SoftPap and EPR are not the same thing, And on Prisma machines that have SoftPap 3, does nothing for exhale pressure. It's meant for people who feel "airstarved" at lower pressure, and does some kind of inhale support. See https://loewensteinmedical.com/en/sleep-apn...

A sleep neurologist sounds like the right kind of professional for spontaneous arousals.
Why should s/he care about a low AHI? It's the spontaneous arousals s/he should care about.

I asked CoPilot for professional info about the Prisma Smart. https://www.docdroid.net/LPC2YQl/prisma-smart-prisma-soft-english-pptx Do you (plural) know it has (or will have?) two kinds of APAP pressures? (see pages 15-16) Here's how it describes SoftPap: softPAP 1 and 2 in CPAP and APAP With press...

Thanks for coming back and sharing the info.
