Apparently, ResMed does not allow cpap.com to distribute the Smart Card Reader outside the US! Any fellow Canadians know a way to get that smart card reader from ResMed?

Thanks everyone for the fantastic feedback. About sleeping on your side. My wife was a back sleeper but had to start sleeping on her side due to pregnancy hurting her back. Anyway she uses a body pillow (which are surprisingly hard to find at least in my hometown). She uses a set of pillows behind h...

Again thanks for your reply. I've been playing around with the EPR settings after noticing that my throat would lock up after exhaling. So on the Dec 2nd, I turned off EPR entirely and had the best, and deepest sleep so far - despite the fact my legs were moving around a lot and I felt partially sic...

Thanks for your reply... I updated my pressure settings above. I've only collected data by using the clinical menu so far - a cable is in order, so my other days aren't as good as that day - when I have a bad day, my mask leak is usually 10x that (0.2 L/s). I find that tightening the mask doesn't al...

My parents sent me this link after watching it on TV: http://www.thedoctorstv.com/main/procedure_list/761 As they described it, they reconstructed the throat with a plasma blade and described it like an "internal" face lift.

I still felt quite tired during the day (although thi...

Ah that would explain a lot... my equipment provider couldn't figure out why I couldn't put the autostart mode on either (I have a full face mask).

I don't know if it is possible, but I'd be interesting in knowing too.

I'm putting this out there to see if anyone has had a similar experience. I had what seemed to be a very sudden onslaught of sleep apnea that began pretty much right after I moved to a new home. Last Aug 2008, I moved into a modern home in a new community, and gradually my alertness during the day s...

Hi, I'm new to these forums, and I'm glad I found them... when I first started with the CPAP in mid July, I thought I'd get better magically overnight. I now know that just not the case, and that I'm not the only one with problems only 3.5 months into treatment. After reading the article on "What is...
