Posting here in hopes of not duplicating thread topics. I have a several-years old version of the ResMed software to download and view my data. It's been months since my last download, but I have never had a problem doing so. I brought my machine in to be checked for pressure, as I had a sudden unex...

Maybe it's just "too much of anything can cause seal problems," because I have the opposite issue. Oily skin, use an astringent, never a moisturizer (though sometimes acne treatment, nothing caustic where my mask goes anymore). If I use too alcoholic an astringent and get more oil off of my skin, t...

McS, thanks for the laugh. Hope your dog gets adjusted soon!

I have been experiencing dryness too, in the last week or two. Never a problem before (started CPAP in Aug). Waking up with my throat in particular, hairy dry. Need...water.. With ResMed 9, does the machine adjust itself to maintain a chosen humidity level? Or is the output static, and has to be adj...

That was my problem exactly! Used a trial Swift LT for a few nights. Loved the comfort, but geez the whistling coming from my one nostril! Drove me batty! I expressed the same issue, and all my attempts at adjusting did not seem to help. I suppose it's *possible* that the trial pillows were older? D...

Guess I'm the odd duck here. I have not found having evening drinks) raised my events. If anything, those numbers as well as leaks are lower. I chalked it up to perhaps sleeping more deeply, less tossing and turning.

Also if you switch between a nasal pillow and nasal mask, you would need to ensure you change your machine settings to the type you are using (assuming that option is also available on your machine) so it will adjust the pressure accordingly.

Aren't they great? I'm new-ish here too, and have found to folks here to be a wealth of information.

You must have been pretty blue by then!
Good luck tonight, and yes, do let us know how you make out!

Good point, Janknitz, thanks for mentioning that.

Well, i have to say it was MUCH more comfortable to wear last night, lots less waking to adjust its position. I could not feel or hear any noticable leaks. Due to an error on my part, I did not collect last night's data (when I wanted it most!) but will see how tonight turns out report-wise, and let...

Ahhhhhh, thank you TTM1! Makes sense!

I had a short nap late yesterday afternoon. The data was collected and stored on my card. Card securely replaced in the machine, and left in place to write for awhile after waking this morning as per usual. When I went to review last night's sleep, I was surprised to see it not recorded at all. (I m...

Oh man, had a past experience with duct tape on skin, not pretty. lol Way to go kb1, glad it's going well for you. Yes, figure out what works for you to sleep comfortably and track it in your data. I know of what you speak, traveling with the distilled water. My last trip I just used an empty standa...

Courage, or temporary insanity? Like gold is right, but you do have a point about it being worthless if it's too uncomfortable to wear.
