Will moving to min 9 really make a big difference? I am considering that positional apnea maybe a big issue. Thanks for the info! Yes it will. The median pressure reported by your machine is usually close to 9, which means you're spending half the night at 9 or above. That also means that, for the ...

For some reason, I thought you were using the N20.

Here is a bunch of N30 mask fit videos, I hope some will help.

When I get up to go to the bathroom, sometimes it takes a long time to get it right on my face again. I think it's OK and then it's not. This can go on for quite awhile. That's what bothers me. Don't take the mask off when you go to the bathroom. Use the tube's elbow quick disconnect to leave the h...

OK, so for real, how much leakage is typical and nothing to be concerned about? .....ANY leak (no matter how big or how small or how prolonged) is unwanted IF IT DISTURBS SOMEONE's sleep.

There is not enough information in the graphs you've posted. You have made a series of statements. You have come to conclusions based on your statements. You give us no data that will help check the correctness of your statements or conclusions. Why were you prescribed a CPAP? What were its original...

Just tuck your lips in.
Don't wrinkle, don't stretch.
The process for me is:
Lip balm
Fold lips in
Put tape on, making sure the corners of my mouth are properly covered
Relax lips - tape keeps them from opening, and that's what I want.


Very similar the way vandownbytheriver does it.

Thank you very much for your prompt answer. Following your advice I'll set de machine to pressure 10-11. And the ramp to 7 as I have no trouble falling asleep and see if it works better for me. If you don't mind I'll post new charts in the following days. I think you solved my issues! We never mind...

:D Hi Joannie! Great to see you! Oh, the beloved Aura, Headrest! Not to mention rested gal who taught us how to deconstruct the headgear and use it the mask with panty hose tights! Unfortunately, the links to those images are not longer available. I miss RG.... Any one who still has the headgear par...

Back with the charts from the last few days. Pressure is changed by the provider to 7-11. I don't wake up alarmed and I sweat less or nothing at all. Was that related to adrenaline or that my heart was working at turbo speed? I feel a bit more tired during the day but it may have to be related to t...

No sense in making many changes at once.
Stick to the changes you made, and see what happens.

If I understant correctoy, you made 3 changes:
Improved the leaks, took melatonin, slept in a different position.

One last question (for now!) - sometimes when I put my mask on and can't sleep, my AHI score can get extremely high even though I'm awake. Is this normal or is there any explanation for this? Here's a link to a graph from a night recently when I just couldn't get to sleep and my AHI score was 14.1 ...

I had to update my version of Oscar to get it to read the data from the new 11 machine, but I finally got it to work. Comparing the settings, the only differences are: Ramp auto rather than a set time of 25 minutes, EPR level is 3 instead of 2, Climate is auto rather than manual. The last 30 days o...

I know LL doesn't like EPR (or auto settings). I don't fully understand why. True, for a small number of people, EPR can increase the number of CAs, but often those CAs are happening after arousal breathing, and it's the arousal, not the CA itself, that's problematic. What is true for a small numbe...

I can you tell from personal experience that the F30 has an excellent diffuser and does not blow cold air anywhere. Ask your suppliers about a diffuser for the F30i Isn't the only difference between the F30 and F30i that the hose attachment on the i rests on the head? No. Thanks, but not sure thoug...
