Hi and happy holidays! I realized something odd that happens when I sleep. Although I always sleep with my bipap on, I usually sleep lying on my left side. This position seems to work best for me in terms of how my full-face mask fits on my face AND how easy it is for me to breathe. I am unable to l...

Thank you so much for the info! That is the machine I have. Unfortunately, I have found over the years that I need to use the humidifier or it just doesn't work for me. It looks like I'm doomed for the time being, but I'm sure I'll be on here later to ask questions.

Should be updated.

....Never mind, didn't totally take. I also have a Remstar Bipap Pro 2.

Question - I have been advised to get a portable power station. The one I am looking at is 450 amps. I have a friend who has power, so I was thinking about powering using their electricity and then using the power station to run the power strip my bipap is usually plugged into. Would this work? It s...

Hi,

Hurricane Sandy has left me with no power. I don't think that we're going to get it back within the next few days. I slept without my bipap last night, which is never fun. Is there any way I can run the bipap on battery power?

Thanks!

Thank you everyone for the replies! I am currently soaking it in vinegar and water, hopefully that will do the trick. Archangle, to answer your questions: 1) I have the legacy version of the tank. 2) I didn't realize I could take it apart! We're going to try that later on. I am also looking into get...

Hello all, I have a Philips Respironics REMstar Heated Humidifier which I have used successfully for almost three years with nary an issue. I'm the type who doesn't clean the tank too often and it's always worked out well for me. Today, however, I was cleaning out my tank with soap and water and fou...

Hi there, I have a full-face mask that has served me well for quite a while. About three weeks ago, I suddenly had issues with the fit. It led to a sore on my nose... which caused my nose to swell... which I am assuming made the fit even worse. In the past, I've had issues like this, and the fix has...

Hello all, I have a REMstar BiPAP Pro 2 with Bi-Flex, and it's working great for me. However, this has been bugging me - I'm not sure what my pressure settings are (I set them 2 years ago when I bought the machine). I'm not sure where my original manual is, and the manuals I'm finding on the interne...

Thanks a lot for the replies! Since I recently took my hose with me on a hotel stay and had the same issues, I think it's a power supply problem. I'll take it to RadioShack this weekend and see what they can do for me.

Hi, I bought an Aussie heated hose a little under a year ago and it has worked beautifully up until a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, it seems to have stopped heating the air a few weeks ago. The hose no longer feels warm to the touch. I considered that it could be the heat from the bipap as well, but...

Thanks for the encouraging words. I will look elsewhere and not bother strangers on the internet with my petulant worries.

Hi- Several of my last few posts have dealt with problems sleeping because of pain in my back and neck. I'm really not sure what to do about this and I'm feeling pretty desperate. My original problem was that my pillow seemed too high and my neck felt cramped (I am petite and have a very short neck)...

Hi- As some might know I have been having issues with a very sore nose! I used bandaids for a while but I just received a Padacheek nose/forehead combo cover. It certainly FEELS great, however, I tried it on a few times and it seems to leak a bit (I'm very sensitive to this). Anyone have any words o...

Hello again, Compounding matters with neck pain (see previous post), I am also having some problems with anxiety as I fall asleep. While I don't have anything actually diagnosed (although sometimes I wish I did so they could just drug me up with abandon! ), I am a pretty nervous person and tend to o...
