I've been lucky with cars but now that you mention it, it sounds like my body, too!

My first few nights with the Aura were great but I struggled with leaks for the last few. It wasn't til I read this thread that the higher pressure issue registered with me (I've only been playing the cpap for three weeks or so). Anyhow, I went back and looked at the times when I would wake up with ...

And THAT is what it is all about, isn't it?

Lori:

That's great about your second night.

Very good!!!

Yes, cpap.com's customer service is top notch. They have been very easy to deal with each time I have ordered something. Last night was not the best night with the Aura. The pin hole leak, although it gives me better results than I had with the UM, was pretty annoying. Plus, I had a difficult time m...

I did not have a lot of luck with the duct tape sealing the hole in the pillow but I must admit to being a right handed person with two left hands when it comes to repairs. I used the pillow anyway and still had generally good results but I am concerned that the hole will get worse. I posted a few d...

Are you insinuating you can't keep me quiet??? You're right...you do the same, please? The longer your streak continues, the better I'll feel the possibilities for me are. I was thinking of it more in the light of the great wealth of information you share with all of us. But if the shoe fits...... ...

Lori,

I know what you mean. I kept wondering whether the first night was a fluke.

Well, it wasn't a fluke for me. That is just great news to hear how well you like yours so far.

I know you will keep us posted!

Lori,

Glad to hear that the Aura worked so well for you the first night.

I am still getting great results with mine.

the max pressure for the Apnea Command' 420E must be set within the range so if the range is 11 - 17 it will need to be set at 11 No, this is not correct. The 'command on apnea' setting does NOT have to be within the pressure range. I haven't actually tried applying this setting but when I raise th...

I thought about taping it, too. Got my roll of duct tape staring at me now!

Lori, I've been reading some older posts (thanks to RG for the long list of links!!) and found one I hadn't seen before where a couple of people tried their medium pillows out and actually preferred them to the large. So might as well try it. I did call to inquire about replacement pillows but I thi...

Well, Lori, can't help you with the pony tail question either. Didn't sleep through the night last night. I woke up to a lot of hissing sounds (leaks). I finally realized in the morning that there was air leaking underneath. I think the nasal pillows are coming apart at the seam. That's a bit of a d...

Put me down for slotted nares but no coins, at least not recently.

Michael, Thanks for your update. I would definitely try the hh if you are waking up stuffed. Some people actually say it clears their nose, I guess like breathing in steam when you had a cold when you were little. But, then again, I don't know how old you are and if they did that when you were smal...
