Re: how long to feel effects

I felt better after the first night (my AHI was 12 that first night... not bad but also not great... it eventually went down and plateaued at 5-8). I no longer had to drink 4-6 cups of coffee and take a 30-45 minute nap after lunch in order to stay awake and I also stopped dozing off behind the whee...

Oracle2 oral mask First Night Post Mortem

Well, what can I say? Last night was the first night of my "new" (to me) Oracle2 oral mask. Have been wanting to try this mask for a while, as I've had problems with the Quattro and Quattro FX full face masks (leaks and intrusive farts all night long... am also a mouth breather with allergies and si...

Q for the Brit-shifters...

Hi! I was just wondering what the process is in getting an NHS doc to sign off on my Canadian issued OSA diagnosis? I'm new-ish to the UK and am wanting to eventually get replacement parts or a new machine when Darth finally packs it in. The local ResMed dealer here in London won't accept the diagno...

Re: Airlines and cpap

You can take it as a piece of carry on luggage on international flights and it won't count against your carry on baggage allowance... I've flown from Vancouver to London and London to Dublin and have never had any problems with the screeners wanting to look at Darth Vader (I just tell them that it's...

Re: Airlines and cpap

Good idea to take a travel letter... I have a copy of one in my bag... but I've never had to use it. All of the airport screeners are familiar with CPAP, so there's generally no call for them to open up the carry case to have a look... at least I've never run into any problems in the 3 years I've be...

What setting do I use for an Oracle 452?

Hi again! I have recently acquired an "only used once" Oracle 452 mask from a fellow Hosehead here in the UK (Annette, if you're out there reading this... I'm very much looking forward to trying it out!) and was wondering what mask setting do I set Darth Vader (a ResMed S9 Autoset) to so that I get ...

"Invalid Date/Time data exists for this time period"

How do I fix this?

I've been trying to fix the time on my S9 off and on for the past week now and I can't get it to change... all that I get is the message in the subject line of this OP.

Can anyone please help me out?

Thanks!

Re: Cannot post or draft

It's a system problem.

From what I am able to figure out, you are limited to 3 lines of text before problems arise. You can still quote and post links, provided that you don't go beyond the 3 lines of text limit.

Re: New Resmed S9 Skin Covers

Slinky... I grew up having to wear unisex and mens shoes and clothes because I am an irregular size - you can't know what it was like being a teenaged girl and not be able to wear the same styles as your friends because they didn't make them in your size... I like the look of men's shoes ... on MEN ...

Re: New Resmed S9 Skin Covers

Sorry for the multiple replies... the system won't currently let me post more than a line or two at a time, or else I would have posted 1 post with links to what Codinqueen is looking for.

Click on the thumbnail and you will be taken to a new page that has the Steelers skin on it... scroll down on the page a bit and you'll find the complete selection of Steelers skins that are currently available. They even have some in pink for the ladies, but if you're anything like me (a devout but...
