First night ok but too much pressure in ears. My new Air Fit F10 full face mask didn't work, could hear inhalation and exhalation , went back to my fx quattro, will change settings tonight from 6-10 on autoset instead of straight CPAP. The wifi is embedded in so it doesn't matter if you have wifi in...

Re: need advice on a new machine
I went to the DME and they gave me an airsense 10 autoset. I had my Resmed 8 elite II set at about 6.6 because any higher causes problems with my ears. My script says to set it at 8 which is what they did. She said I wasn't supposed to change the setting and she wanted to know how I found out how to...

quitting
I have tried for a year and a half to wear this mask, or numerous others I have tried. I developed ear pain and infection, TMJ, my neck is really giving me a lot of pain from having to wear the mask so tight to prevent leaks. I've gained weight, which is not a good thing, I quit snoring and sometime...

quattro leaks
I have been using an activa nasal mask for several months and now my TMJ is bothering me bad. Probably from keeping my mouth closed, when I was snoring with my mouth open in the past it went away. I've started using the quattro full face and am having leaks along with terrible cotton mouth that wake...

Re: Software....I want to know how
I don't know how long you've had the machine but I turned my escape in for an Elite II for an upcharge of $140. Now I can read daily my hypopneas and apnea.

Re: Being told something different than here
thanks for the info, the first night I used the Activa Mask( and it is not LT) I turned humidification up and got water in the hose. Room probably gets down to 65 or a little lower at night. Last night I put the hose under the covers and got the humidity up and no water formed in the hose.

Re: Have you been treated for depression?
Yes I am in therapy, and I believe my apnea is the result of deep grief from childhood and the anxious troubled sleep I had. I am Freudian and I don't take meds. They didn't help. I believe getting this equipment brought my depression to the fore. Mine is not a view very many people have. It's amazi...
