Thanks all I will check that out. I was in the clinician's menu to adjust my pressure down per their prescription, but was not aware they could shut that off.

Re "efficacy", I guess that's what happens when I write from memory and not while looking at the machine.

Hi, I have a refurbished Resmed S8 Elite II that I've been using for about 18 months. This was a warranty replacement for the same model originally purchased in summer of 2009 that had died. At the end of September I went for a follow up sleep study. The technicians successfully downloaded my data t...

Hello all, I've been on CPAP since August 2009 and in that time have lost around 40 pounds. I went in just after Thanksgiving for a follow up sleep study, mask half on, half off. I was very curious to see what my no-mask AHI would be after losing the weight. Met with the doctor earlier this week (ob...

Hi, I've been experimenting with an Activa LT mask and loving the comfort. Last two days, though, I've been unusually drowsy during the day. The numbers on the machine look great, no leakage, AHI < 5. If I were mouth breathing, would the machine show increased leakage? I have been a little congested...

Let me tell you what worked pretty well for me. I placed strips of 3M Micropore tape on the areas that got moist and leaked. The silicone will form a seal with the Micropore tape. I tried this one night with my Hybrid and leaks were not an issue. Buying lots of tape becomes the issue! Thank you, th...

Having your heated humidifier set too high can cause excessive moisture and oiliness around the seal toward the end of the night. You might try turning it down or off and see what happens. Thanks. I'm still figuring out what I need as far as the humidifier. I've done some nights on passover, some o...

Wow! Amazed at the response. Blows my mind that we're all having the same issue at the same time. The first night it happened was my first night on CPAP and I did lie there for a little bit with the mask sounding like a leafblower until my wife threw me out of bed. I felt fantastic. The other days I...

I am only on my fifth night of CPAP therapy, but one thing that has been consistent is that I wake up in the morning between 4-6am with the mask leaking and I can never seem to get it quite right again after that. More often than not I have taken the mask off, rolled over, and slept for a couple hou...

First night was fantastic...my wife woke me up at 5:30 am because the mask was making all sorts of noise and she thought I was leaking, plus I was lying on the hose and she was afraid I'd strangle myself. In fiddling with the mask I got the left pillow out of whack and could not get it back, so I ju...

I think I did good. I got a Mirage Liberty mask and a S8 Elite II. I was told this was a high end machine -- it certainly had all the features I wanted. Didn't have to argue over anything, it was there waiting for me when I met the technician. Just tried on the mask, no panic attacks on ramping up, ...

Thank you all for the advice and making me feel welcome! I am eager to get started and get healthy. Rooster, I would like a data capable machine, but unfortunately I had not heard of them until AFTER I left the doctor's office yesterday otherwise I would have specified that up front like I did with ...

Hi all, Newly diagnosed (AHI 120) and new to the forum. I get my machine on Thursday. I don't know the brand name of the mask I was fitted with at my titration but it covered the nose and mouth (I'm a mouth breather) and then went up the bridge of the nose and into a t shape across my forehead. I st...
