i slept with it successfully last night so thanks for the encouragement - really nice for side sleeping!

thanks, I just switched up to the medium and compared the exhale difficulty with my hand blocking the tube and now it seems they are about the same so I'm not sure what's going on but I'll give it another try and will make sure to use my nose strips also. Can't remember if I did that or not on the f...

I ordered the Swift FX after reading so many good things about it but don't understand how anyone can use this mask. I find the exhale pressure much higher than my resmed Mirage SoftGel -- so much so that I slept very poorly the one night I used it. It looks like a design flaw to me when I look at t...

The artifacts come when your finger moves around inside the oximeter. If you zoom in on the data, you should find that the green line turns gray. This indicates that it lost the signal. The dip comes from the software trying to re-establish a connection. Desaturation due to an apnea is a more gradu...

Your oximeter data shows that you have the obstructive part of this under control. The big dip at at about 3:20 looks like it is a movement artifact, so you can most likely ignore that. The next step is to tweak your settings to find the best airflow numbers. What does movement artifact mean? I hav...

Also, the Respironics PR System One Auto-Bipap is the latest model on the market. I too have suffered from sleep problems and extreme fatigue my whole life. I had the MMA surgery done a year and a half ago which was unsuccessful. I paid for it via cash - $35k!! I estimate that I've spent at leat $5...

Here's the short (ish) version of my story. I'm 42 now and remember that I did not sleep through the night as far back as 10 or 11 years old (roughly when we moved to a new house and I was exposed to some toxic chemicals). The first time I went to a doctor for fatigue I was a teenager. In my 20s, I ...
