Usually a follow-up visit with Doc doesn't take place until you've had a solid 6-8 wks with cpap [unless you are having any major problems]. So if money is an issue, if you're slowly settling in with the machine, the apap range is working [i recall from previous post 6-9?] and your numbers appear s...

.... I smiled at some because the DeVilbiss already has them! Totally agree with Emilia! In fact, i prefer that the hose runs out the back as it tucks away nicely behind the bedside table, up the bed and running from behind my pillow, keeping the hose away from my hands. Only thing I wish for is a ...

Try this - have a T-Shirt made with the words: Do you Snore? I've got the answer! Wear your T-Shirt to the Saturday Market - (maybe you can include your telephone number - people are sometimes shy about this 'problem'. I am positive it won't be the snorer that will ask you for an answer - but the s...

Once you learn how to use the software, check for leaks. That is one of the key/important factors in getting good therapy and insuring 'optimal' pressure. If you leak too much, pressure will increase to compensate and lots of fluctuations. No rush but once you get settled in, your 95th percentile p...

Update: I increased the lower limit to 5.5 (from 4) and it makes wearing the nasal mask a breeze. Thanks for the advise of increasing it. Based on the average pressure, i'm ranging from about 6 to 9, hence i suppose 4 was just not helping at all. Guess need to just tinker with the setting more to fi...

Hi Emilia,

Thanks for the pointers. I'm able to fully utilize its capabilities now!! Can't wait to meet my Dr next week with the printout of the observation.

Hi all, Am a new user to APAP. Just got my first device, a Devilbiss Auto Intellipap of course!! Purchased it with all the bells and whistles. Unfortunately, i don't find the manual that useful. e.g. once i've connected all the devices, installed the software, what do i do next? - Do i need to forma...

Saya cina tetapi perjalanan ke Malaysia sangat sering I am Chinese, but a trip to Malaysia very often Hi dtsm & Marietjie, Nice to meet fellow countrymen / women with experience in this. I suppose you guys would know that OSA is not well known here, to the extent that even the insurance doesn't cov...

With the auto-on feature, it's most liklely NOT using the ramp/delay feature when you put the mask on in the middle of the night. 7cm is not that high of a setting---you might do just fine starting the night out without the ramp in the first place. Try that. Good luck! Hi robysue, Tried that last n...

Hi robysue, Thanks for the tips and the compliment. I sure do plan to go through your previous posts and others, but my guess it's going to be a while to cover the entire forum. Years worth of info for me to be digging in! On the delay, like you mentioned, yes it starts at 4. But my prescribed level...

Hi dtsm, My guess is that you're also a Malaysian? Thanks for the advise. I was thinking of doing such. Just putting it on as much as i can, so as to get my body used to the idea. Didn't think it would be an issue as i didn't have any problems during the sleep test in the hospital with the CPAP on. ...

Greetings from Malaysia! I came across this forum in my research on Sleep Apnea after being diagnosed with it late Jan. It's wonderful knowing of such a forum to share experiences and for newbies like me to seek assistance. Thanks guys! (& gals ) Just to share, i just received by APAP 2 nights ago a...
