I have learned to live with my dry mouth for many years. It's a pain, but it's not to a point where I have to do anything about it. Can you live with it?

I have used the 11 since April of 2023, after going thru maybe 2 Airsense 10's. I have no druthers between the two. I do have trouble seeing the S11 screen, but my eyesight is going out anyway. As part of the summary report, I downloaded the Resmed Myair app, which has Bluetooth capabilities. I can ...

Welcome! If you haven't read the few topics posted on top of this page, please do so. It informs you on general difficulties that you may or may not encounter. Wearing this conclaption while sleeping may be a pain in the butt, but hopefully it will enable you to feel better during the day. The most ...

I don't think there is not any agreement on one DME. You try to find one that is less painful for you. Some people will not have any trouble with a DME, while some folks will hate the same DME. They all give some pain. You try to get one that you can manage,,,, maybe with drugs! :lol: Due to my insu...

F20 with foam did not work for me. It leaked too much and felt strange so back to the F20 silicon. It was a year ago I ditched F20 for F40 and that made a huge difference for the better. After a few months with F40 I tried F20 and wondered how I ever suffered through it. Hi! Do you have an issue wi...

mmmm. I used the F20 several years ago and gave up on it because it tore up the bridge of my nose, too. I switched to the Resmed Mirage Quattro. It has a knob to adjust the nose bridge tension, Once I get the adjustment set, I seldom mess with the knob or tension. I may check out the F20 foam. Sheriff

The use of humidifier is a personal preference. Some folks need one for their sinuses. Still, some prefer it for comfort. Years ago, I asked myself if I really needed one. I went several nights without it and I adjusted to cpaplife without it. I dropped-kicked mine into the next county, and never lo...

All machines are different, but the lifespan is usually around 5 years, give or take. I think after 4 years, you are living on borrowed time. Again, many people get more than 5 years. I bought a Resmed S10 last year when it was on sale and it is my backup. I only go out of town 2 or 3 times a year. ...

I usually replace my mask cushions when the leak rates increase or the leaks start to wake me up. I can usually get 4-6 weeks on a cushion. The answer is no. Different people have different schedules.

I used the Total mask for over a decade. I only use it now, when my full face mask screws up my nose bridge, or I have some Melanoma skin issues on my nose. Was there a specific issue you had? I do know the mask is becoming harder and harder to get. My current DME says they can't get it. I had some ...

I'm totally like you. I tried the F20 several times and ended drop kicking it to the next county. I couldn't prevent the nose bridge issues. I have been using the Resmed Mirage Quattro for several years. It has a knob that will allow you to adjust the pressure on the bridge of the nose. Take a look-...

To expand on what LSAT said, the constant forced air cpap sends could initially make your lungs sore. I think overtime, your lungs would adjust to the constant pressure cpap therapy provides.

Probably for insurance purposes.

I have always had the problem with the headgear being too big. Whatever mask I used, I needed the largest mask they make for that particular mask, but the headgear was always too big. So, I would have to buy the next size down headgear.
