Re: Swift FX Fit & Slippage!!!

I'm glad I saw this because I have the excact same issue. The top strap seems to stay in place for me but the blue strap in the back will creep up and I find myself waking up to readjust it. A small leak will form on the upper portion of only my right nostril and the noise wakes me up. Some great ad...

Re: New user intro/help

Hiyas t00fan and welcome. I too have gout and noticed it can be a symptom of OSA. It seems some places recognize it and some do not. I am on alopurinol daily to keep it under control and im interested if you see any relief with xpap.

Re: Strange results on Sleepyhead

That makes sense since it was over seven days. Though my graph always looks like the lower one. My flow settings always fluctuate and I figured that was the flex setting for my exhale. I am wrong?

Strange results on Sleepyhead

I have two consecutive nights that look like this. I am not sure why: http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x420/moat916/Capture3-1.png Almost like the mask pressure is flatlined and there is no flow rate data For comparison here is a normal night: http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x420/moat916/Capt...

Re: Year end DME incompetence?

My DME does have OSA and is on Cpap, so he understands a lot of the stuff we go through to make things work. So far it has been a good relationship.

First time using Nasal Pillows

I tried a set of Swift nasal pillows last night and I think I am in love. So much more comfortable that my Quattro. Still working on the solution for mouth breathing as the tape did'nt work as well as I planned. Oh and need to train my brain that putting tape on mouth does not = your suffocating me!

Re: I want my machine!!

Once I knew I needed CPAP it was dreadfull waiting for the machine. I had huge anxiety problems trying to go to sleep. To help move things along I became a pain in the rear to my doc,DME,Sleep Lab, and Insurance company by calling them over and over until I got the responses I wanted. Overall it too...

Quick question

I forgot to put my SD Card back into the machine before I went to bed last night. Is that data lost or can it be loaded onto the card once I put it back in?
