Hi Everyone, Been on CPAP for 2 months now, and still can't figure out a comfortable mask Left my provider with nasal only - can't handle it as my nose gets blocked, and I wake up gasping Really wanted Resmed Liberty to work for me, but burns my nostrils for some strange reason. Provider switched ou...

Hi all,

2 days in, and last night my nose was blocked Obviously doesn't work with a nasal mask.

I have to sleep on my side, but suspect I need a full face or hybrid mask.

Can anyone suggest one that is perhaps better for side sleepers?

thanks!

Hi all, Well, made it through the first night. Wore mask for about 6 1/2 hrs, which I thought was ok. Here are the readings from the S9 Autoset: Used hours 7.8 (2 hrs was sitting in front of TV to get used to it) Pressure: 10.8 Leak: 16L/min AHI: 2.3 Total AI: 2.1 Central AI: 0.6 New to all this, so...

Thanks! Actually - I just checked and it's still shows the reading on the machine...

Just received the S9 Autoset.

How do I read the AHI in the morning from my night's sleep?

thanks!

Hi, New to all this. Picked up S9 autoset this afternoon, and Mirage FX seemed to fit best. Now that I'm home, I noticed some airflow around the front of the mask (no where near my face) but where the elbow joins the actual mask. Is this to be expected? I was expecting everything to be completely se...

They didn't have the Climate hose, but have ordered it for me. I tried the nasel pillow mask, but opte...

Very new to all this - can anyone recommend a good DME in Lexington KY?

Hi, New to all this. Was diagnosed with apnea during sleep study 3 years ago - 20.4 API. Tried CPAP and BiPAP and couldn't tolerate then. Just had another study - 70 API! So really need to get on a machine and try again. Dr says he wants me to try an auto CPAP (I think that's right - CPAP machine th...

Hi,

I've seen apnea scales that have values for mild,moderate and severe as 5-15, 15-30 and >30, and others that use values as 5-20, 20-40 and >40.

Does anyone know where the latter one comes from?

thanks.
