In January I got a new cpap machine. I had the S9 Auto pap now i have the Airsense 10. I have to say this was the best decision i have made to date with my treatment! I have the heated tubing covered with a hose cover. Use a Resmed Liberty mask. Halo chin strap. I have the tubing and humidifier set ...

Ive asked my wife next time she hears this to note the time. I will download my files into Sleepyhead and see whats going on. I may also open my machine to 11-15 cm/h2o and see what happens.

Hello, I am hoping I might get some help. I have been a constant cpap user since 2009. I got a new Resmed S9 APAP in 2012. Its been a great machine. My new issue is my wife is telling me that early in the morning that I start breathing really heavy. Its started waking her up. I don't know if this is...

Ive got things figured out now. I have to say I wanted to try and adjust the Humidifier last night and all it gave me was a tempature option. Im so used to 0-6 not a tempature . So far It looks like i need to work on Leaks. As much as I like the Swift II I may return the mask. My leak rate was 30 la...

I picked up my new machine last night. I got myself a Resmed S9 Autoset. I had to fight the DME and finely came down to talking to the Dr and getting a very specific perscription. the supplier wasnt to happy but I am . Last night was my fist night with it in auto mode. Was very different. In cpap I ...

I'm still on the fence. I called the sleep dr and asked for a script for an apap set to cpap. So I'll know more on that tomorrow. But I would really like to hear from other users. When I got my original machine Resperonics was a machine to be wary of. Sounds like they have made a come back.

I am getting ready to set up an appointment to get a new cpap machine. I currently use the Res Med S8 Elite and I like it very much! I was thinking about the Res Med S9 Elite. My supplier has a contract with Resperonics and unless I get a Specific script they will only supply me with a Resperonics m...

I have also been interduced to the Resmed swit I think it is. Its the nasal mask that looks like a tube on the bottom with pillows resting on it. I like this new mask almost better then the Liberty. Hi, Thanks for sharing the story. I think you mean the "Swift". They make a few different types. I u...

My current DME supplier is a pain in the rear to work with. They go off of the Medicare guidelines for when I should get new supplies. After repeated calls from to my Insurance company, I have been advised that if i have a need for it, I can get it and it will be covered. I can have a new Machine a ...

Its been almost 4 years since i've started Cpap therapy. And I would like to share what i have been through. It Started when Iwent to the Dr. because i was tired all the time. So it was suggested tat I go in for a sleep study. It was found that i would stop breathing something like 80 times an hour....

So the Alcohol dosnt hurt the seal in any way? I have access to thousands of alcohol pads.

I was going to try the RO for a week and see what happens, I just dont want so much of a crust that i have to scrape it off or get a new tank. We just had the RO serviced, but we go through filters every 3 months. So its doing its job. I dont want to try the well water because it stinks of sulpher, ...

I was wondering if you could use Reverse osmosis water in the Humidifier? I know that im supposed to use distilled water, and i would not dare use my tap water. I am on a well that has a lot of sulpher and iron in the water. It does go through a water softner. But i dont know how well the RO would g...

I got a call from my DME and i have an appointment set up for next friday to get my S8 Elite II. Ive also decided to get the H4i integrated humidifier. I plan to test drive a few masks before picking one. And I am told Everything i need out the door will cost me $1168 before the insurance kicks in. ...

If that $15 is sposed to come from your pocket, ask your insurance about that practice too. Most times any extra payments are forbidden. Sounds like the DME is looking for money from your insurance then an additional $15 from you? With my insurance, I have to cover 20%. Ive meet the deductible with...
