S9 Autoset and Clinicians Manual and Software

Long time no see! Hope everyone is doing well. I purchased an S9 Autoset yesterday (no insurance - in cash) for my birthday. I didn't do a ton of research but it looked like a good machine. I am going to be scouring the boards for info and experiences, but its been a few years since I was active in ...

Re: Trying Hard Not to Commit Suicide

More than likely you are tired because you are depressed. I had OSA for a long time, got tons of help from the people on this forum - then I lost 50 lbs and did not need a CPAP anymore. The fatigue came and went, was clearly related to depression. Go get help.

Re: Question about swift fx

The FX hose does not have to be down across your body. I have my machine on the floor, at the head of my bed. I just run the hose up over the headboard of my bed, use a velcro tie to attach the hose to the headboard and then just attach the thin hose from the FX to the thicker air hose. I spend tim...

I have the Swft II but I can only sleep on one side, otherwise I am sleeping on the hose and cutting air off. Unfortunately i usually end up on my back anyway. I have to hide the hose under m...

I found the way to get what I want from a doctor..

Get it from a shrink. I was at my monthly therapy appointment today.. He knows about my sleep apnea and my interest in self treatment and distrust of sleep doctors. When I was on my way out I asked him if he would be OK with writing me a script for a mask, he said "sure, what do you want me to write...

Looking for resmed software for trade or private sale

Hi everyone, I had a copy of the resmed software on my old computer but sadly the computer fried and all was lost. Someone was kind enough to provide me with the software for free and I returned the favor by passing it on to other people who decided to take things into their own hands. Im not typica...

Re: Prescription for all masks now? Was it always this way?

Hi Everyone.. I tried taping the other night and did in fact wrap a piece of tape around the both sides of the swift, whoa what a difference. I was a bit concerned that I might have inadvertently covered up vents that were supposed to help with purging the air, so I was a bit nervous that I might no...

Mouth taping with 3M Tapes - Another convert

Hello everyone. Well, I finally tried taping. I became so sick of the inconsistency of my nights, always waking up in the morning to see that I had been leaking all night, not enough to wake me up, but certainly enough to effect my sleep quality. I am a chronic mouth breather, chin straps don't work...

Prescription for all masks now? Was it always this way?

Hi everyone, Nice to see all the usual suspects. I have been out of the loop with products, I have gone through so many different setups and I am now using a Swift II with cut pillows, and 2 chin straps AND just started taping last night. Some nights better than others. I have been having a problem ...

Re: Leakage and AHI

There are far more qualified people here to answer this , but I am going to venture that Yes that would absolutely effect both. If it goes in through your nose and out your mouth, thats a leak and its going to dry out your mouth. I am a chronic mouth breather, I wanted the swift so badly but it just...

Re: Results from recent sleep study

I forgot to add that I would like to change the setting on my VPAP to reflect these recommendations until i get a different machine and I am wondering how to do that. I know how to change the pressure settings but that's the only thing I have poked around with. Anyone info would be much appreciated....
