Thanks - I did go with CPAP Battery.com recieved it friday tested it Saturday and only got 5HRS with it. Was really bummed. Charged it friday night took off the humi and brought unit downstairs and set it up on the kitchen counter and let it run. It shut down after 5hrs. I use a Resmed S9 Autoset ha...

The problem is no camper or generator

Help I want to go camping with my son but has severe OSH without my Resmed S9 I am done the next day extremely exhausted. Any help or info on what to do would be very much appreciated.

Anyone know how to get the insurance to pay for a overnight battery for resmed S9?

Slinky - Yes he offered to write one for a price with the advice that it never works. Since I guess other patients have had the same problem. He made a good point no matter what the studies show we as a society work 24hrs a day including the important jobs such as hospitals fireman & police. Therefo...

I am not sure about the sleep pills that would be a question to ask him. I do know that anything that does not pretty much allow you to function normally is not the greatest for sleep apnea such as Ambien, Alcohol etc. I don't know that they would allow me to stay on days and rotate that way. It's w...

I work for a really good company - Procter & Gamble I have been working with them now for 13 years. Eight of those years have been on shifts 3 on 3 off 12hrs a day plus over time. Now I work straight days in a process engineer role that could at any point end and I can be sent back to shifts. A rece...

So how long has your setting been at 8 -18 if just recently then yeah thats the problem. I had an original setting of 9-11 but after treatment for awhile and about 7 lbs. I found I was always at 11, meaning the pressure needed to be higher to be effective most likely from the weight gain. But my DME...

I use the Mirage Quattro - What I do at night just before bed is turn the bath on hot as hot as I can get it, then I run my mask in the hot water for about 40 secs then take it out shake it out put it on and go to bed. What this does is heat up the rubber and when it cools it creates a better seal t...

Thank you all for sharing your experiences as it is relieving to see some of the long time vets on here as well all of us newbies. It really gives us hope. I as well believe genetically I got it from my father he has it but never has treated it. He was suppose to have a sleep study done but never we...

Just curious Anyone who would like to reply thanks If not sweet dreams hope you and whoever read this post get ...

I have the Mirage Quattro and what I do is use corn cushion and stick them up inside around the area that gets affected by my nose. Its not perfect but has helped.

It always cool though rolling into work with strap marks and a bright red nose !

Thank you for all your reply's I appreciate the communication I called my Doc today and he told me to go buy some motion sickness pills and if it did not get better after a few hours to call him back. It was crazy I got out of bed this morning and just about fell over it was all I could do trying to...

Wowo I woke up this morning and it was all I could do to keep myself from falling over. Has anyone ever felt that way? It was like my head was 200 pounds. I felt like I was going to vomit but never did. It eventually got better. The only thing I can think of was I increased my setting from 10.6 to 1...
