Re: Does type of interface affect aerophagia?

Maybe everyone suffers and it doesn't matter between mask types? I think it has more to do with the pressure, but I can say that I don't find much difference between Swift FX nasal pillow and Quattro FX FFM - I get about the same amount of air in my gut from both of them (tolerable it is, at least).

Re: SleepyHead Test Build for Mac OS X

Two things I notice: Snore is coming up with some really funky numbers, even tho there's nothing on the graph: Min Avg 90% Max Pressure 10.00 10.00 10.00 10.00 Leaks 41.00 52.80 60.00 69.00 Snore 27642285272242061312.00 0.00 0.00 27642285272242061312.00 And a suggestion on the Pressure graph, it sho...

Re: How do you organize your data? anyone with a pivot Table?

I'm trying an OpenOffice spreadsheet with a row for each night; columns for various meds, headaches, use of chinstrap, TMJ splint, mask or nasal pillow, pressure setting etc. and then columns for all the CPAP parameters, so I can graph CAs for example separately over time. But its a pain to keep up ...

Re: SleepyHead Test Build for Mac OS X

Which additional features, if any, do the alpha testers on OS X consider to be crucial for SH to be reasonably complete? Please share your thoughts. No guarantee they will be implemented but it won't hurt to speak your mind. So, everyone is happy with the current feature set? Nothing essential is m...

Re: Dry mouth with FF Quattro FX mask

I'm having similar problems with Quattro FX- I have humidity cranked to 5 and am using the Biotene rinse, but still have 3-4 wakeups per night with painfully dry mouth. Would using the chin strap along with FFM actually help to keep mouth more closed? It almost seems like my salivary glands are shut...

Re: SleepyHead Qt v0.8 alpha

Mark, Keep up the good work! I did a git pull last night and built SH 0.8.5 on my macbook. I reimported all of my old data from the PRS1 data card and all the spor files for the cms50e. There still is the bug that the times given in the oximetry data ignores the start time on oximeter, but instead ...

Re: Noise out there in the air

I've been having the tinnitus too, in my right ear only, in kind of an episodic pattern- it gets worse and then gets better, seemingly for no reason. It sounds like a constant hum in the background, kind of a medium tone. I've had the audiology tests and a nerve test (ABR), and although I lose some ...

Yes it shows in the dropdown, but no I can't connect to it, I thought I had posted the debug output from trying back a few posts. Never fear, try try again!

Re: SleepyHead Qt v0.8 alpha

For next time when it does that: either do a 'git revert head' or a 'git stash' and then do the 'git pull' OK, thanks- new build with bar chart overviews looks fantastic! Unfortunately still the same debug output for trying to connect to the CMS50E btw Sleepyhead tells me last night was my best nig...

You appear to not be running the latest version, try another git pull. You may have caught one in the middle with breaky threading..

Yes it shows up in the list and I tried to connect, actually mine is a CMS50EW and that is the Bluetooth port. Mac bluetooth won't allow me to browse the device either.
