i began CPAP about eight months ago, mild to moderate, overwhelming more prevalent in REM sleep, prescribed a nasal mask and then changed to a FFM since mouth breathing was a problem. I have been on a stringent weight loss plan through a local hospital, have lost a significant amount of weight and h...

from what I've read, sometimes the pressure will go up with weight loss and sometimes it will go down. Is the mask that you're using the same headgear and everything that you've used from the beginning? 'cause the straps and seals may need replacing... i have purchased new headgear and a couple of ...

haven't been on forum recently, started CPAP six months ago and still having problems. at times it seemed as if it was working better but not for long i have been on a weight loss program through a local hospital (which is why i haven't been on forum, spending a lot of time on the weight loss progra...

thanks for all of your comments! i ordered a new cushion online and will get it tomorrow. didn't want to waste the time with the DME right now being the holidays and most places hear are on reduced hours at the very most. Will find out through my insurance the policy on cushion replacement. i will g...

It is possible that the cushion needs replacing. I have had one that lasted about 4 months, but I usually replace mine at about 3 months. I find that they last longer if I only wash mine about once a week and use a citrus wipe daily. thanks! i thought i might have not been washing it enough if i mi...

i have found that regular usage of saline nasal spray helps.

After my tritation I saw my general practitioner (GP) with this conversation: Me: My sleep study showed severe apnea with .... Doc: I didn't think you could have sleep apnea, you don't have a thick neck. the psychiatrist i was seeing for my clinical depression back 10 years ago, upon sleep problems...

i started CPAP the last week of september and have been working on getting the maximum benefit. i started with a nasal mask but i knew i was mouth breathing during the night (i woke up with my mouth open) so decided to try FFM. the mirage quattro works quite well but even though i've seen ;improveme...

Good to hear last night improved. i had two fairly decent nights wednesday and thursday, not great, but i slept through the night and while i was still tired and not well rested it was better than usual. last night was not good. i wasn't as tired as early as i usually am, took 1/2 dosage of my anti-...

finally found software for my machine that works on my laptop....i took a while though.. downloaded successfully, trying to use it now and am confused....the unit i have is data capable and everything i have read on it states it should give full data reports include AHI, Leakage, etc. but when i lo...

i have a machine like yours and just found out you can insert your SD card right into your PC/laptop slot and it reads it automatically--says it has its own reader! tried to install using my husband's SD reader and it kept saying 'failed'. my son slid the card into the slot and it worked fine!

I just downloaded Encore Pro, it is working but it seems like all i can find is compliance tracking info--hours of therapy, etc. my machine states it is full data capablility, wondering if I'm missing something....been through the help menus over and over and getting nowhere.... are you able to get ...

Any luck yet on learning how to access the efficacy data from the machine yet? finally found software for my machine that works on my laptop....i took a while though.. downloaded successfully, trying to use it now and am confused....the unit i have is data capable and everything i have read on it s...
