Re: newbie,17 pressure, ffm leaks unless on v tightly
Hi, Just wanted to add my 2 cents. I started with the FF Quattro and had AHI's ranging from 17 to 40. My mask would leak very easily which contributed to my Aeneas. I switched to the Resperonics GEL Nasal and my AHI's dropped to 1.8. I originally thought I would need the FF because I had dry mouth m...

Re: HELP!! I'm about to stop therapy
Now to answer a few questions. Sorry for delay in responding. We had grandkids over for weekend and I’m in a lull right now. Wulfman - I usually will try to get to sleep on back because I have had so much trouble with mask leaks, although last night my mask did real good while sleeping my side – so ...

My S9 computed AHI for all of last night was much better with an average AHI of 18.1. Not great yet but much better. My hourly AHI ranged between 4 in one hour (best f...

Re: HELP!! I'm about to stop therapy
Thank you for all the help I have received. I know that I need the therapy but could not understand why I was having as many apneas as I’m having. Is this a normal part of therapy? Anyway my pressure is 12 cm with an EPR of 3 cm. I am not using a ramp startup because I feel like I can’t get enough o...

Re: HELP!! I'm about to stop therapy
Hi Den, My pressure is set to 12 as prescribed. I have not tried to change that. I have tried the ramp at a few settings, but found I feel that I just can't get enough air when ramping up so I currently do not use the ramp. My humidity is set to 1 with the standard hose but I set it to 65 degrees wh...

HELP!! I'm about to stop therapy
Long post but I felt that if I was going to get any serious help I would need to explain a few things first. At the end of this post I am including a few graphs. The 1st is from a night using the cpap from about 10:10 pm until about 03:50 am. The 2nd is from the last night I tried to use the CPAP/ma...
