Hello Deedster, Yes, I have experienced something that sounds almost like what you are describing. It happened many years before my OSA diagnosis. Shortly after the experiences I was diagnosed with hypo-thyroidism and began meds. Several years later I began to experience the same thing again. After ...

My post below is how I handled it. Sorry I don't know how to link to a post. Maybe someone will tell me--I looked in the FAQ's and did not see it. Here is the old post: Thanks for the advice folks. I was able to reach a compromise with the DME dealer in my area. They simply refused to sell me an aut...

I was also "prescribed" the REMStar Plus. I had read here and knew I wanted an auto or at least the new REMStar Pro 2 so I could monitor the data. My DME did confirm that the insurance company would only pay one rate for any machine. I ended up with a compromise--not the auto but the Pro2. They were...

As soon as you turn on the start stop button your Cflex setting appears, your pressure setting follows that and remains on the screen until you press the start stop button again. For example when I press the button "2" briefly appears--my Cflex setting, then an "8" appears--my pressure setting. Hope...

Oddly enough the frame will sometimes fit even if it is positioned incorrectly. One night last week I threaded my frame back in place with more difficulty than usual--then I found out it was actually not angled properly--it snapped but not loudly like usual and the bottom snap would not fall into pl...

You might want to change the comfort curve question to modified or "out of the box" comfort curve. Mine works pretty well after I modified it.

I did not know they had to activate the Ramp feature. My came already activated I guess. Make sure you are waiting until the machine starts your pressure before pressing the ramp button. If you hold down the ramp button a few seconds it will go into the menu program and allow you to set you ramp pre...

CareS, Thanks for the panty liner idea. it really works! I tried it today for a nap with no leaks even when I turned over and over. I did have to tighten the straps a little more than I am used to but this is still such a comfortable mask. Hope your Mom did O. K. with her surgery and thanks again--n...

Thanks wading--I am going to Chicago for a week next month and really needed this info--I can't travel w/o my laptop and purse as my two carry ons!

It is so great to hear other people are experiencing some of the same feelings I am. I have been using CPAP for almost two weeks. The first week I felt worse than I ever had. Of course my body chose that week to have a sinus infection so I was taking strong antibiotics and all kinds of cold meds. I ...

Excellent video--thanks!

Are you sure about that? I think it works on the newer REMStar Pro-2 machines that come with a card slot.

I do what 53now said--pull it out a and make sure the inner flap is correct. Another thing I do is when I feel a leak around my nose I just press it for a few seconds and it stays in place. One night mine was very loud and leaked like crazy--I discovered that the frame (mine is blue) was not seated ...

Don't despair. It really is not that bad. My sleep tech offered to give me an Ambien but I refused. I wanted to know what was going on. I did feel a bit "trapped" when the mask was put on but I did my visual imagery relaxation and went to the beach. After just a few minutes visualizing the waves and...

Hello Needcpap, I am new to the group --started my therapy last week. I had the same problems choosing a mask. I finally settled on the Mirage Activa (probably the one Rock and Roll is talking about) Look for a picture on cpap.com. I liked it because it only takes a second to release the hose from y...
