Does anyone know if the sizing for the FX for her is the same as the regular FX (ie: is the small for her same as regular small)? I have lots of leaks with the regular FX. Seems that my ideal size would be in between the small and medium. Thought about trying the female version, but if the sizing is...

I had a similar experience when I chose to leave my humidifier at home when I went on a trip. It seemed to me that there was more pressure without the humidifier. Also, my efficacy numbers were lower without the humidifier even though I didn't notice that I felt better during the day. I didn't sleep...

Thanks to lots of good info I gleaned from this site, I asked my physician to specify a fully data capable CPAP machine so that I could monitor my progress. That's exactly what he wrote on the Rx, so I got the Elite II with no problem from the DME. So, you might want to check with your doctor to see...

Even though I got used to the Quattro pretty much right away, it took about six weeks before I really started to feel good all day and not sleepy or tired. I had to make some adjustments in those first weeks, including raising the pressure. One thing I found was if I tightened the mask too much, my ...

I have flown a couple times with my machine. The first time I took everything. It was a bit of a hassle getting through security because I didn't know I was supposed to treat my machine like a laptop by taking it out of the case and put it through X-ray by itself. The second time I flew, I opted to ...

My daughter calls me Darth Vadar whenever I am masked up, so perhaps my mask won't need a lot of modification!

I use it every night except when I travel because it adds bulk to the security checkin procedures. When I don't use it, I have more leaks and wake up feeling dried out.

"Do you use EPR? If so, what setting? If you're using EPR, at a pressure of 6 or even 8, you're getting less (and very little) therapy pressure when you exhale."

Yes, EPR Level 3, Inhale = Medium. Should I try it with the EPR off?

"Have you seen any trending ? Gradually getting lower or higher? Numbers taken while you are awake will be off - as you use it more you should get better numbers. Did you see this trend on your lower pressure?" There was no trending. It would go up or down by the day. Both the best and worst number...

I have been using my setup (S8 Elite II, Mirage Quattro full face, H4i) for over a month. My machine was set at pressure = 6 for the first month with these results: Monthly average: Leak = .10 (daily numbers vary from .00 to .22 AHI = 15.9 (daily varies from 7.4 to 27.3) AI = 7.2 (daily varies from ...

The ones chosen for the challenge will be notified by email by the end of this week according to what I was told when I applied. I too signed up as soon as I got the email announcing the challenge. I just want to say how appreciative I am of the info on this forum. Without it, I would not have known...
