Hey Echo, Thanks for the tip about the "pap cap" I think I'll have to give it a try. Being somewhat new to CPAP, I started with an ultramirage 2 nasal mask, that was hurting my upper lip, teeth, & jaw, then onto an ultramirage FF which I like better, but I wake up with dry mouth. I think it must be ...

So sorry to hear, My thoughts, & prayers are with you, and your family.

I'm type 2 diabetic, have been for about 12 yrs, I started with pills, but since 2000, I've been on insulin, All I can say is, since I've been on CPAP therapy (about a month now) my blood sugar numbers have gotten Way better! I don't understand it? but it's the only big change I've had in my life re...

Oh, I see, it bumped me off as I was replying, so it asked me for my username, and password, and to put in a confirmation code, Then it said: "that username is in use", so I just left it blank, and it came up "Guest"? So, I just now logged in again to make this post

Trying again, 1) There is no edit button 2) There's nothing to let you know if you're logged in or not? 3) There's no spellcheck ? Could you please fix these issues, thank you, MikDee I think only Registered user can edit their post. Don't think guests are allowed to, so you must login. I am a regi...

Have you tried cleaning out your Temporary Internet Flies and Cookies? Den This has got nothing to do with it! I never had a problem here, until yesterdays change Again I'm now using Firefox just to post, after trying to log on 4 times previously with Internet Explorer 7 After I put in my username,...

Ok, at least I can log in now.

Ok, Here's the latest, Got my pressure meter Friday (It's handy to have!) and checked my machine right away, it said 10.5cm at all times, that's a good thing! But, the night before I made some changes, I turned the ramp up pressure to 10.5, same as my prescribed pressure, (it was preset at 5mins. ev...

Thanks feeling_better, I have a tee around here somwhere to use, I'll get it to work (good idea by the way!)

Mike

f_b I just ordered a CPAP pressure meter so maybe I'll be able to find out if it's me or the machine?

Thanks All for the tips, SWS, good idea, I've researched this as well the last few days, and found similar plans, but if I found the machine to be at fault, it would be hard proving it with my "homemade" manometer I guess. I think I'll buy a manometer, if I can find one reasonably, the ones I've see...

What a great reason to keep using CPAP! Listen to your son. And thanks for sharing.

On a point here, I'm diabetic type 2, have been for about 12yrs, and now insulin dependent, and slightly out of control, because of my own doing (an aquired sweet tooth ) But, since I've been on CPAP therapy, about a month now, I noticed my blood sugars Much Improved! I had no idea what was doing th...

The Saga continues! Each night with this Machine, it seems during the night it loses pressure. I usually sleep on my sides, and have noticed if I roll onto my back the pressure will increase, and my mask will start squeaking, flapping, and leaking air It does the same thing when I sit up, just befor...

Thanks for the reply's, I have trained myself somewhat over the yrs to sleep on my sides (preferably rt. side) or stomach, not my back, but occasionally end up there. I was testing it again last night, it is just like I stated previously, plus I also found laying on my sides there is less pressure, ...
