Provigil
I have been using it for about 1 month. I am splitting the pill in half for a 100MG dose and that works on most days for me. When I have had a bad night I will use a 200MG pill in the morning and will try not to take another for the last part of the day. I even am using it on weekends because I am t...

M vs Tank
I am using an M plus and I like the portability. I am on a low pressure so the noise is not a problem. I like the water tank design on the M series. From what was discussed here earlier it was a injection mold issue that was supposed to have been fixed. The weight is the same really between the two....

Provigil
I will ask that you forgive the long paragraph below, but I wanted to explain what I have done before deciding to try out the Provigil. I have used my Cpap for around 8 months and logged about 1500 hours. I had to increase my pressure with my wifes input from 9 to 11. I was still snoring at times at...

Provigil
I have been using a CPAP machine for at least six months. I am going to talk to my sleep doctor about provigil because I am running into days where I am still tired after sleeping for 6 hours or more. Provigil is usually proscribed to help someone with Apnea if they are still experiencing tiredness....

M humidifier
I have a M Plus unit and it seems to heat the water up pretty fast. I estimate it only takes 5-10 minutes. I was told that the heated humidifier runs a little hotter then the older units. I of course cannot verify this from my own experience. I do like the fact that when the unit turns on the humidi...

I can refill it out if required after issues are address, or I can respond to an e-mail. Whichever is fine by me. the only other thing I could thi...

M Plus
I basically got my M Plus just when they came out. I have not had any major problems with it. There was a point in the beginning that I thought the humidifier was not getting hot enough. I had it replaced and it has been fine and I quess my imagination on it. Neither I or my wife feel it is too nois...

CPAP
A lot of people here have talked about feeling great at first and then starting to feel tired again. The average time is around 1000 hours or six months. I am just at about six months and I have good days and bad days. The good days are increasing for me slowly. I just am going to keep at it because...

M Series Humidifier
I am slowly starting to get a little rainout as it gets colder here. My wife has not had a chance to make my hose cover yet. With a 2 1/2 year old is is tough to get much free time. I do remember that my M Plus ran hotter the first week or two and settled down. I even had the DME replace it because ...

M Plus
I can only answer on the M Plus Respironics machine. If you are not interested in being able to monitor yourself with software data then the M Plus is a good unit. The issue on being able to monitor yourself would require an M Pro or an M Auto (there is also the Pro2 and Auto w/cflex). I myself want...

M Series Humidifier chamber
I had a thought on how to check. Next time it happens, do not take the chamber apart and just dump out the water. Then fill the sink with water and try submerging the chamber at different points to see where water seeps back in. Of course I do know it will fill up at the intake and output ports (jus...

M Series Humidifier chamber
If it is only leaking when you have it jut past the halfway point then my guess would be an issue with the rubber o-ring. I take mine apart each morning and sometimes when I do not seat the clips at the one end right the o-ring will be twisted a little. I also notice that if I have a little more res...

HEPA ETC
I change my filter once a month unless I have been in a very dirty environment. I try to wash the foam filter and hose etc once a week. We use a ionizer in the bedroom instead. You can clean the filter as required and only need to replace when broken. Sharper Image sells the refurbished units for ha...

M Series Humidifier chamber
I have had it happen a couple of times. I noticed that it would leak while I was filling it. I figure that I am in too much of a hurry to put it together and run into this problem. When I look at it when it leaked I noticed that the rubber o-ring was crooked so it was not sealing properly. I usually...

FROM ANOTHER SPOUSE My husband came home with one of those silly mask things awhile back. I had no problem with it (I'm a Sci-Fi fan) The one we were worried about was our two year old son. We had Daddy try it on in front of him and explained that Daddy had to wear a funny mask to bed. He also has ...
