Re: What was your first mask - sleep study and beyond.
I had a comfort gel nasal at my titration and was given a choice from many resmed, respironics, f&p and others for a 1st mask. I picked the swift II as my first and it worked well enough. I now use a swift LT with a resmed quattro for when I need a ffm. I also tried a comfort gel ffm which didn't su...

Re: Mask Input Requested Please
I am an active side sleeper who switches from left to right about 6 to 8 times a night. The swift LT works for me without any seal/leak problems. Best part of all is that it seems to work best with the head gear very loose. So long as I am using the right sized pillow, the head gear need only keep t...

Re: THE GREAT PILLOW EXCHANGE
I also have a small and large swift LT that I'd be willing to trade for mediums after someone hooks up with BeanMeScot.

Re: Finally: Results from my Data Card
..... it looks like at the beginning of each hour it just resets the counter to zero and then increases for each event. This is exactly what my rescan v3.5 software does for the detailed graphing of AHI data. The AHI isn't "ramping" up and falling off; the graph is just plotting the cumulative even...

Re: Illegal?
The other site isn't so bad and there are a lot of very helpful members posting good info. Unfortunately, there are a few arrogant individuals who can't hide their contempt for those who would dare take full control of their therapy. One of the mods in particular, practically brags that she doesn't ...

Re: Torture or blessing? Why do you like CPAP poll.
I picked other as I am still waiting on any of the other choices to be true for me. So far I've adapted very well to strapping on the beast each night and fortunately haven't had the many issues others had/have to work through in the beginning. Yet after nearly 5 weeks of 100% compliance and data wh...

Re: Nearly 4 weeks on apap and still feel like crap
I have the older vantage and the leak data is listed above but easy to miss. Median leak is 0, 95th percentile is 0 and daily max ranges from 0.2 to 0.4. Basically my leak graph is a flat line and only spikes when I turn the machine off and/or remove my mask. I did have lip leaks in the very beginni...

Nearly 4 weeks on apap and still feel like crap
I started on a resmed autoset back on Sept 25th and to date still feel no better than prior to my OSA dx. The machine is set at min/max of 5/15 and I have been 100% compliant from day 1. I wear the mask every night & all night and really have been lucky compared to some of the troubles others endure...
