Re: Leaks, leaks and more stinking leaks and AHI

I wash my seal each night and it wore out after 6 weeks. I would suggest ordering a new one. It tends to wear out quickly.

Re: Dr ordered higher pressure for aegophagia?

So my AHI is at 0.8... never goes above 1. So the apnea's are under control just fine.. I called to ask them about what I could do to help with the aegrophagia and the doctor wanted a download of my data.

Dr ordered higher pressure for aegophagia?

I have been suffering from aegophagia since stating CPAP about 40 days ago. My Auto Pap was set at 5-14 and I was averaging 13.8 each night. Called my doctor and they now want my pressure to go up to 15.... this seems strange to me... thought I would be able to lower my pressure to help with it not ...

Re: Mirage Liberty Squeaking Swivel Joint

I had the same problem with a different mask and I used a very small amount of canola oil on it. No smell and worked great.

Mirage Quattro FX Cushion Life

For those of you who have this mask...How often do you replace the cushions? I have had mine for about 4 weeks now and the past 3 nights the top seal keeps seperating from the frame?

I also had my humidity set to a temperature of only 74 with the other setting at 3. I got a different mask to help...

Re: Good DME in the Raleigh NC area?

Thanks for the info. That is who I went to... I think I just had a bad person there. She was very dismissive and not very helpful and intimidating. How many masks were you able to try when you fist got diagnosed? I have been using my unit for 2 weeks now. They first gave me the ResMed S9 Escape. I r...

Good DME in the Raleigh NC area?

I am newly diagnosed and was sent to one DME company. Was less that thrilled with the service I recieved. Can anyone recommend another DME in the area?
