More cowbell? Anyways, quite a nasty few days for my CPAP usage, results, and general well being. Tuesday night as I mentioned in another post, I cleaned my hybrid before use and next morning had really bad numbers (and by really bad I mean like AHI of 70 or so!! higher than my normal), but I think ...

Hey all, I ponied up and bought myself a new hybrid off of ebay for a song, and i gotta say, its pretty impressive. The first few nights, my AHI got almost as low as 10 which for me so far, is really good. Last night I realized it was getting a little grody so I took it apart to clean and man did I ...

Hey all, As i have mentioned in prior posts, I have been getting rather lousy AHI results (HI to be specific) and it was suggested I either tape or try the polident to try stave off mouth breathing, so last night I hit up stop and shop to buy some of the strips. Mind you, I'm 28 so I of course used ...

LOL! Thanks Dreamstalker. needed a laugh

Anyways, my leak rate is usually somewhere between .5 L/s and .8 L/s

My HI always seems to be considerably higher than my AI numbers.

I have been using a combination of a Flexifit 407 and a Mirage Swift II but I've been finding by checking my stats in my S8 Elite that my AHI still bounces between about 15 and 25 on any given night. The Flexifit seems to be a more comfortable mask for me, as the Swift II even with the humidifier ja...

Hey all, Just got back from Columbus, OH and this was the first trip I took with my CPAP going along for the ride. I made sure I had the Resmed letter, and a letter from my Sleep Center, as well as the TSA docs and I found that flying from Laguardia and Columbus, things went pretty smooth. I told th...

Thanks everyone,

I will try again with the F&P tonight and see if my numbers are even remotely the same. I am hesistant to tape unless I need to. Perhaps a chin strap is the way to go, although more crap on my head does not have a heck of a lot of appeal either.

I decided to start logging the info from my CPAP treatment, I dont have a smart card so I went into the hidden menu to grab my info, and here are the results: Press: 9.2 Leak (L/s): 1.08 AHI: 24 AI: 2.3 HI: 21.7 Usage: 6:21 Can someone help me make sense of this? Best I can tell from other people's ...

The thing is, I didnt have this problem before the CPAP. I had horrible drymouth, but that was it. I also have back/shoulder problems that might prevent me from elevating my head like that... perhaps one of those foam triangle wedges.

Hello all, I am coming off my third night on the CPAP, and last night was... not so good. Every now and again at the corner of my mouth, my lips part a little and either some kind of acid reflux (or just drool) will leak out with a puff of air (accompanied by acidic taste in mouth, hence my belief i...

Greetings all, I have been reading posts here for about a month while I fought tooth and nail with Anthem and my Sleep Center to get CPAP. Your advice has been incredible and yesterday I finally was able to take my rig home and managed to sleep almost entirely through the night with it. This is what...
