Thanks for the update Louise ! One more question ... Does this pillow have the nice 4" sides on it ?

Louspeachy ...

How did the second night go with the combo pillow ? Thanks

You should not change your pressures willy-nilly. Meaning....make a change of .5 or 1, then try it for a week, if that doesn't help, do it again, but you need to stay at one setting for 5 to 7 days to see any differences. Case in point,my machine is set from 10 to 13 my ahi is usually 0.0, but Mond...

Lots of REALLY great information here ! I sure appreciate everyone. But the news is about to get worse .... Last night I tried an experiment and turned my machine back down to the 11 it used to be set at. Here are the numbers : Leak ....0.00 AHI ...... 51.2 AI ....... 23.1 HI ........ 28.1 The only ...

No ... I am not very Tech savvy, and I do not have a lot of knowledge about apnea details past the fact I have to sleep with a machine that worked PERFECTLY for me for 10 years. I only know I am having some issues now, and do not have the luxury of a sleep study at this time. But I can now see I wil...

Your machine is data capable, however, it needs a special card reader in order to import the data into the software you install on your computer. The card readers are very hard to come by since your machine is an old model. That said, your DME should be able to read the card for you and give you a ...

Then try upping your pressure some more.

Or maybe you could rent an APAP from your DME for a week?

No mouth breathing going on ... I am taping.

I could really use some help ... I have had my AHI hovering around 28 for the several nights I have been checking it lately. As an experiment, I upped my pressure by 2 and then another 2 on the next night, but my AHI stays the same. My machine is showing almost zero leaking is happening. I do not ha...

Oh hell .... That's what I was afraid of. I am now at a loss ! I have upped my pressure by a number of 2, and am now taping my mouth very effectively .... MY leak shows only 0.02 , yet my AHI is 28.4 I am now at a loss with NO insurance, which means no new sleep study. I guess I start upping my pres...

On my Elite II machine, when it displays the day's AHI under the results menu, is that figure already averaged over the night, or does that number still need to be divided by the hours I slept ?

I see there are double sided pillows made with Buckwheat on one side and Millet on the other side ... seems like the best of both worlds .... Anyone tried one of these ?

How is Millet different from Buckwheat ? I know it is two different materials, but how do they compare as far as general traits ? Millet is the little round Parakeet seed. It is softer/smaller than buckwheat. Louise Hmm ... It seems the Millet would be considerably more comfortable than the Buckwhe...

While I am not rich, I simply have NO problem with payinmg $25 per mask to try it. Well, well worth it to me. I can not put a price on a night of better sleep !

Who has used an online purchase with "insurance?" How does the "return insurance" work? Suppose you buy a mask for $100 and add $25 for "insurance." If the mask doesn't work, do you get back $100 or $125? You NEVER get your insurance payment back.....If you have an never have an accident with your ...

I want to share with everyone how I was rudely introduced to sleep apnea. I lived in Houston TX 12 years ago with my wife. I was 32 at the time, and had slept like a baby all of my life with NO issues. We went to a bar with some friends one night, and suddenly my heart started tp race crazily. Minut...
