Re: I’ll settle the debate on AHI for UARS folks

What if they had held numerous debates and no one ever attended?

I’ll settle the debate
In the entire 190,000-year history of homo sapiens, there has never been a case of this statement settling a debate.

Re: Understanding readings

I am reading that the CPAP does not treat sleep apnea it just allows the patient more O2 to sleep better. Burn that damn book. The author is a most notable coward, an infinite and endless liar, an hourly promise breaker, the owner of not one good quality. Stick around. Members will be along to help...

tried different masks and cushions etc but still trying to find the right combination
Whichever mask you are using, find that model on YouTube and watch some videos on fitting and adjusting.

a used machine
If it were me, I would look at the general condition/cleanliness of the machine and give it a good sniff test. Was the appearance of the person I bought it from decent? Were his fingernails clean? Replace the air filter. Use the machine.

Either P10 nasal pillow or N20 nasal mask
This is symptomatic of leaking air through your mouth. It will cause dry mouth. No CPAP humidifier can overcome this.

After all these years, you are still depending on other people to do that?? Get busy and take control of your therapy. No one has more at stake than you.

been cleaning the mask, tubing & humidifier tub once per week
Overkill. I use tubing for years without cleaning. It doesn't get dirty. I wipe the mask each morning with an alcohol swab. (I don't use the humidifier.)

Re: Elderly Father COPD and CPAP

Does anyone else have elderly "non-compliant" parents when it comes to CPAP?
Young people of otherwise clear minds also refuse to use CPAP. It's very common.

Don't let it be too hard on your mother or you.

Re: What brand of airline approved battery do you use for Dreamstation?

Version 1 had a barrel ended cord for Dreamstation that had to be ordered separately. it's no longer available. Version 2 now uses a cord that uses USB C to connect to the battery. Have you searched in the after market for a cord adapter? https://www.google.com/search?q=battery+adapter+for+dreamsta...

It’s a shame there can be such a stigma attached to using the machine.
No stigma for me. I just tell them, "You look like you could benefit from using CPAP."
