I was encouraged and once again checked all the suggestions, to no avail. There are many options as long as you sleep on your back or are an upwards-facing side-sleeper, and the pressures are relatively low. Still no good options for me. I hate all those advertisement videos, where ultra-happy, smil...

[...] I'm wondering what your thoughts are on nasal pillows? I heard those are better with leaks, given there is a smaller surface area? I also wanted to ask if you would interested in viewing my OSCAR report sometime once I have more reliable data? Thank you kindly for your response. Posting your ...

You may also want to leave enabled and play with some of the bilevel settings - it can be much more comfortable than constant CPAP. In fact, there may even be a way to keep the ASV functionality (with the settings at their lowest intrusion levels), if you can't turn them off. I'm not familiar with t...

Mc sleepy have you tried the morph mask the one that molds to your face. It was too big for my face (I wear the small for her mask ) but when it hardens up it is nice and rigid. Edited to say I still have it if you want to try I'd be happy to send it to you. That sounds very intriguing - I had no k...

One thing that is very important to keep in mind (on this thread of high interest to me) is the sleeping position. So, when you post your favorite low-leak mask, you should mention how you sleep: back, side, stomach. Also, whether you sleep like a corpse or you spin like a top. While you're at it, h...

You mention do I need to even use the humidifier in Florida? Its showing 62 degrees in my bedroom? Humidity needs vary with the individual. You could turn it down a notch each night. If you get dry nasal passages, turn it up to the previous setting. It's a trial and error process to find the lowest...

[...] Trigger and Cycle not mentioned. See this link . Basically, the lower the setting, the more effort (added pressure) it will take to trigger the IPAP or the less effort (subtracted pressure) it will take to trigger the EPAP level. Most people prefer this less sensitive because they are bothere...

Thank you, both! It was a post here, in the forum (that blog post is about the AirSense). I think it was Zonker or one of the more active users here. It had about a dozen lines, with bullet points nicely summarizing the differences. I also remember a discussion about the auto-updating of the 11 - no...

There was a nice post about the exact ways (capabilities, specifications) that AirCurve 10 VAuto differs from the new 11. I can't find that post (I think it should be a "sticky") but it's also been some time, so I'd also like to enquire about any updates. I'm over 12K hours on my 10 and will look in...

Well I wasnt complaining just stating a simple fact that there is no way that my body would be able to fall asleep with something like that. So what other options are left? And the hospital called me after speaking with the administration doctor changed his mind and agreed to try to treat me. No ne...

All masks are designed to make CPAP users rebreathe a significant portion of the air coming from the machine. I'm not aware of any manufacturers publishing that information, but it can vary wildly even with how it's worn. There just isn't a simple design that will allow that not to happen (a check v...

I see a psychologist once a month and yes they are competent. They helped me adjust my life routine to avoid stressor and I have same routine every day that it's impossible for me to break without suffering or getting panic attacks/stress. I'd put my money on the therapist helping you adjust to the...

There is one major difference between S mode and VAuto mode that affects feel. It may not matter to some people (e.g., with low ventilatory demand), and it depends on what value you assign to that setting, but it makes such a huge difference to me that I can't use VAuto mode because of it. The diffe...

I'm "bookmarking" this thread. I haven't tried all of the masks suggested in this thread, but none that I've tried have worked. My main problem is the stability as I sleep on my stomach - the hose would pull the mask one way or another and it would leak, I need something rigid. I have a mask that wo...

Everything appears to be back to normal; at least to me, and I don't do a whole lot here.
