risks of wakeful titration or overly high volume?
Had trouble falling asleep,noticed my Resmed Auto had titrated up from 12 to 14 while I was awake! What's up with that? (besides me)? What happens if the volume ( I think its volume, it can't be pressure or we would all blow up like tires,errr tired? never mind.) is much higher than the RX calls for...

Help! auto pap not making sense
I have a remstar auto and normally just pass out with very little presleep time. Had a lot of problems falling asleep last night and discovered my machine titrating up (it went from 11 to 14 in 10 min) while I was awake! Normally I stay at 12 (checking at bathroom breaks and when I wake up) If the a...

anyone know how to change the pressure on a PB 420
as usual the manual was not given and I have put on some pounds since being titrated at 12. My auto is putting out between 12 and 15 most nights but I travel with the PB and do not feel rested after using it. anyone know how to reset the pressure? Why does the entire apnea industry make it as diffic...

thanks RG and Muck but.......
First of all, how do you tie the back of the pantyhose strap? I will look for the threads for instructions if its complicated. secondly, I got the Aura because a) RG gave it the thumbs up and she really knows what she talking about!! and B) because it looks really cool. Being single, I have commente...

Lori thanks, RG knows her stuff but I just posted a request for advice on FF mask as I looked at myself in the mirror and decided that between the tape, the chin straps, the mask and whatever else I was going to have some explaining to do beyond just mentioning that I suffer from sleep apnea when I ...

best rec for a full face mask? H. Lechter look alike contest
I love my Activa and tshe aura isn't too shabby either but I still mouth breath (or mouth flap to be more accurate). Tape works but between the masks, the chin straps and the tape I look like something out of a bad S&M movie. I am single and when I meet someone that I am serious about it is easy to ...

I got both the activa and the aura from cpap.com a week ago
The Activa is a no brainer best mask ever. The aura is a huge step in the right direction for mask/interfaces in general. It is very comfortable and seals pretty well. for some reason I invariably wake up with it partially out of my nose and give up in the middle of the night and go back to my new b...

Activa and Aura after one week. Aura tricks of the trade?
I gave up on my DME and the whole process and just paid out of pocket for the 2 masks. The Activa is like an old pair of blue jeans. You just put it on very loosely and it does the rest. easy, comfortable and very leak proof. I am getting some pressure on my upper lip to under my nose but the mask i...
