Doesn't look like anyone has used it so I thought I would provide an update. Been using the Mirage Micro nasal mask for a few nights now and I like it!! Doesn't require as much tension on the headgear to keep it sealed and the dial on the forehead really works for adjusting it. Plus no more nose pai...

the Micro Mirage face mask?

I have been having problems with my Ultra Mirage 2 and my DME switched it out for the Micro Mirage for me for free.

Haven't used it yet...just looking for opinions.

Resmed S8 VPAP Auto w/ humidifier and Ultra Mirage II Nasal Mask

I was titrated at 14 and 10

At the suggestion of some folks here (which was greatly appreciated by the way) I raised my IPAP pressure to 16 (from 14) and my EPAP pressure to 11(from 10). My AI number is great (0.2) but my AHI was 8.4 this morning, what can I do to lower my HI? The machine is set to automatic and this morning m...

I'm glad this came up again. I too have noticed the baby powder smell and have even asked about it in this forum. Since that post I have washed my mask in baby shampoo several times and the odor is still there upon removing the mask. I really thought it was a smell in the house, until Saturday. I we...

I had a power outage the other night due to some storms in the area. Of course I couldn't use my machine and had to try to go without it for a short time. That got me to thinking. A battery backup for my machine is like $300, couldn't I use a UPS box for a computer to use for backup power? Just plug...

He was under the bed!

Doesn't explain the baby powder smell though!

For the last few days when I take off my mask I am detecting this wonderful aroma. I kinda smells like a combination of something my wife is baking and a slight hint of baby powder. It smells absolutely fantastic. Have you folks experienced anything like that or have I totally lost my mind?!?!?!

I had a pretty bad bout of bronchitis and went to see my doctor. He was not available, so I saw a different doctor. He looked at my airway and asked if I had ever been diagnosed with Sleep Apnea. I told him no. He then started asking me a bunch of sleep related questions and told me to consider a sl...

Granted, I didn't sleep all night, but I slept better last night than I have in YEARS!

Had an AHI of 9.5 with an AI of 0.6 without making any pressure adjustments to the machine. Just turned down the humidifier one notch to cut down on rain out!

I feel pretty darn good right now!!

Thanks Slinky and Snoredog.

Would anything there indicate that I am mouth breathing?

I don't think I am, I think it would wake me up as I am sleeping rather lightly right now.

I still feel like crap. Still fighting with the mask to keep it comfortable. Still fighting rainout even with a hose cover....last night was the worst. One thing I have noticed is that the machine does not seem to be blowing as hard in the morning as it does at night. I am chalking that up to the au...

Ok...after a week on bi-pap, I have some results to share. I would really appreciate your thoughts. First (drum roll please) last nights results... Leak 0.10 VT 360-780 Resp Rate 12-18 MV 6.1-9.2 Press 12.0 AHI 11.4 AI 1.6 and without further ado... for the week... Leak 0.10 VT 340-780 Resp Rate 12-...

I saw nothing wrong with what you said Slinky.
Sounds to me like Mike is the one that has issues.
