Hi Guys, I have just checked through my history here and it looks like I have been on the CPAP for almost 3 years. I looked at one of my earlier posts and I asked "how long until i'm normal", but the question has arisen for me again. So after the initiation of my therapy my life has been a bit of a ...

I have found the full face mask collapses the nose due to the air pressure pushing on the nose. Add some sinus swelling and it can reduce airflow. So even though you increase the pressure, the effect is that is collapses the nose on the air holes that enter the head in the nose. I am thinking about...

To be on the safe side I change my card to write protect when I remove it from my S9. That way my computer will not change the data in any way. Once I left it that way by mistake and my S9 detected it and told me to change it before it could use the card. Your Mac setup probably wrote something to ...

Dear Bill, Thanks for spending the time to respond but..... but when i reinserted my card into my S9 it will not accept it and wants to wipe everything off it. If you have downloaded the data into ResScan, then it doesn't matter if the S9 wants to erase/format the card When i go to the clinic and th...

Hello again, So it just happened that I recently had a review at the clinic. They say that My leaks could be better and suggest that I could have been breathing out of my mouth. This doesnt surprise me as I have woken up on some occasions because of this. Anyway, the upshot is that they suggested th...

Hi Guys, This is kind of a continuation from my last post. So I took a step and downloaded my data from the SD card. I have a mac, but run parallels on it and windows. So I managed to download the data to my computer, but when i reinserted my card into my S9 it will not accept it and wants to wipe e...

HI Robysue, I really appreciate that you have taken the time to reply to me with such detail. Its given me a great deal to think about. I will try and keep a sleep diary and modify my sleep and eating habits, i knew many of the things you have said will affect sleep, but just seeing it written by so...

Well i dont wake up to pee. I guess i am just moving about. I have another question: Does the mask fill with CO2? is it possible that you are inhaling what you exhale and dont get completely fresh air? I though maybe this could explain feeling very drowsy in the morning? Has anyone had this problem ...

Hello again,

I am not really sure why I wake, I guess its discomfort, after i pretty much get back to sleep.

The machine I have is a resmed S9, my apneas are generally below 2, and the machine gives tells me I have few leaks: i guess i should analyse the data in more depth?

Hi all, I have been on CPAP for almost a year now i think. I dont feel so much better to be honest with everyone. Or if i do I think its very slight, i do feel even worse when i dont use it but I am not feeling the full recovery I was expecting. I tend to wake quite often and I am wondering if this ...

Hi Guys, I did not post for a while and i am slowly getting to grips with my therapy. I feel slightly better but like superman, the good thins is that if i don't use my machine i definitely feel worse. So i am now about to go to india for 2 weeks and i am wondering if anyone has advice about both fl...

Hi,

I don't think its good to leave it so long between fills. Maybe its ok for the machine, but in the interests of hygene and health you should change that water regularly.

Cheers

Hi, Just a not to say that i think that this is CPAP business is starting to work! Initially i had some problems with mask, after i changed to this mirage number its super comfortable ! no leaks and no marks on my face. The next thing i did was lower the epr level to 1 from 3. and i seem to have bro...

Thanks guys, I plan to post some more data on Monday when i have it.

Today I am feeling particularly cranky, just hung up on some unhelpful guy in the phone and now i am stressed....

Hello again guys, I feel rather like the annoying kid with too many questions, I hope that i dont start to get under any ones skin. So I had my gear for over a month now, with my new mask i am don't sleep so bad. But.... I still feel absolutely terrible in the morning. During my test AHI was around ...
