Re: Power Supply Travelling - Canada/US to UK

I’ve travelled with my Resmed (different machine though), and just used a plug adapter in the UK. Mine worked fine, but I always double check that the voltage on the machine’s power brick says 100-240V. With appliances like blenders or hair dryers the wattage can be too high, but for electronics lik...

Re: 4 month trip to europe next year, looking at travel machines

I’ve been in the same boat, I used the AirMini on a 3-month trip to Europe and had to figure out a workaround since it doesn’t support the Quattro full-face mask directly. I ended up switching to the AirFit F20 mask, which is compatible with the AirMini. It wasn’t my first choice since I was so used...

Re: Does Your Sternum, ribs or Back Hurt When You Wake? Here is the Solution That Worked For me.

I can relate to dealing with discomfort from medical devices—it's frustrating and can really affect your quality of life. For me, it was more about neck pain due to poor pillow choices and posture, but I can imagine the intensity of dealing with mask leaks and the resulting Costochondritis you exper...

Re: Neck pain/stiffness

Maybe it's a bit off topic, but i've been having some severe back pain for some time. I've also been to the doctor and the treatment they prescribed didn't help at all. What recommendations could you give me?

Re: Middle Back Pain with Air Tubing on Top (P30i)

Hey! I have back pain every day when I wake up. And I changed the mattress, I got a special one but it didn't help at all. Is anyone else still struggling with back pain? I've been to the doctor, he didn't help me with anything. He gave me some ointments that didn't help me with anything.

Re: Back pain due to pressure being too high?

I've experienced something similar with pressure adjustments on my machine. It's possible that the increase to level 9 might be too high for you, especially if it's causing discomfort only at night. Adjusting the pressure back down or consulting a physiotherapist in Vancouver could help determine if...

Does Anyone Have the C100 Travel Battery System?

I just pulled the trigger and ordered a C100 Battery System. I'm confident that it works, but I have some questions regard prolonging the life. Using it on the train / traveling First of all it says you can plug it (charge it) and plug your cpap into the c100, and it will act like a usp system, swit...

Re: Backpacking, Hiking and Camping - the PowerAdd Pilot Pro

I'm thinking of getting the pilot pro or the c100. The c100 is made for cpap machines.. it costs more. But it come in a nice travel case.

How about the pilotpro? Does it come in a nice travel case or anything?

Re: Which battery power for Phillips/Res System One

Your CPAP needs a lot more power than that Pilot Pro is going to provide. That's something to power cell phones and laptops and such. Don't be fooled by the 32000 mAh rating. That's probably going to be at 5V or maybe less, not at 12V that your CPAP machine is going to run off of. Unfortunately, th...

Re: Which battery power for Phillips/Res System One

I just updated my profile so my machine is listed as the PR System One series 60. I only need it to last one night. It's something I'm going to use for the following two situations: 1. When the power goes out at night.. Happens RARELY, but it does happen. 2. When i'm taking a train ride overnight. Y...

Which battery power for Phillips/Res System One

I have a Phillps/Responses System One BiPaP. Had it for about 3 years now. I'm need to buy a battery system for it. I've read the forums here and people are having success with this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DN0KBXU/ the Poweradd Pilot Pro. However I see lots of bad reviews and lots of people say...

Re: tossing and turning any klonpin

I recall my dreams, and I don't recall night terrors. I do have anxious dreams, but not terror. In fact I often become lucid during my dreams. (not THAT often.. it comes and goes.. but when it happens it's really neat, and when and if it does, all anxiety goes away)
