I am a MEEE TOOO. I gained almost 15 pounds since starting APap last December. I am hoping it will not continue. I feel so much better, have energy, and even cook...oops, maybe that is my problem. I will take the pounds over that awful feeling from before.

Just went through the mask drawer. Comfort Curve by Respironics, Resmed Mirage Vista, Breeze, Swift. PM me if interested.

Thanks so much for the heads up. I will try that. In the meantime, since the Activia seems to be the best for me, I have several masks that I have used only one partial night or two: hybrid, swift, comfortlite, another comfort style, and a breeze. It has been expensive but worth finding a mask that ...

I think I am getting better. What would you do with these scores? Anything? I month of data: AI: 1.0 Apneas CA: .2 Hypops: 1.3 Hypops FL .3 Acoustical vib 2.4 Runs 37.2 average pressure: 14.7 Pressure more than 95% 17 Cycle states: normal 70% Intermediate: 6% Flow limited 24% Invalida: 0% PB 420 e 1...

[quote="DreamStalker"]You may need to provide more info in order for anyone to answer your question. I don't know anything about the PB ... but are you using auto mode or straight CPAP? What pressure value(s) were you titrated for (ie. your prescription)? Are you using the same mask for both machine...

First off, I have two machines that I use since I travel: PB 420e and Vantage. The PB gives me and AHI of 2.1 or less per night. The Vantage is more like 8.4 AHI per night. Does this matter? Since I feel pretty good except for too much work and travel, I just use them and go with how I feel. I tend ...

I slept my first night with no major problems except for one. At 3 am the mask, the apap, and I all had a melt down. The apap was loud, the leaks from the mask were uncontrollable and coming from every where, and I woke up and didn't want to. I shut down the unit, refitted the mask...and slept soun...

I ordered on July 1 and my cpap.com account says I will receive the Hybrid by July 7. That is not such a long wait for a mask in demand. As usual, cpap.com follows through.

always wanted to know how the PB 420e and Vantage compare. There was a study that was comparing the Auto CPAPs but it was not valid for the BP 420E since some setting were changed. What mask were you using and what mask setting you were using on the Vantage. Do you have software for each machine? W...

I have two apaps since I travel and am on the road for work. Is it possible that one apap is better for me than the other? I find that when I use the PB 420e, I not only feel better but my AHI is lower--between 2 and 3. When I use the Vantage, my AIs are about the same, but the hypops make my AHI go...

The same thing happened to me. The GeekSquad was over one day and said that the USB serial cables work only 60% of the time. I use a notebook with no serial and have to use a desktop upstairs to retrieve my data. I do not know what else to do.

Keep me posted as to what you are finding. I love the Activa because I do not adjust it all the time. However, I have found that I am a mask junkie. I somehow have replaced shoe shopping with mask shopping.

[quote="roztom"]I might have read this before? Those of you who have switched to the Activa have your AHI numbers changed? My numbers have jumped up, almost doubled !! from around 2.0 to 4.0+ That's quite a difference. While I'm leaking less I've had some bad nights and have felt crummy. It may be a...

I have the vantage but bought the PB 420e for travel since I am gone 4 nights a week. Both are capable of giving me data. I did a little trial to see if the numbers lined up but.....anyway, I did three days on each one and here is the difference: Vantage three-day AHI 9.3--this includes mostly hypop...
