Thanks Randy, I didn't know there were so many versions of the S8, I should have stated the full description wich is S8 Lightweight II, which has no removable card.

Thanks for replying, my present machine is the S9, and i have my original Brick S8 as a back up. The problem is that it does not have a removable SD card like the S9 but rather its a fixed connector that would require some kind of gizmo that would allow me to read the info using Sleepyhead. I have g...

Can anyone please tell me how to connect to the rear of the S8 data card to obtain the information contained in the machine? I would probably need some kind of connector between machine and computer; there must be a way to be able too because when I used to take my machine to the Sleep Study People,...

Thanks for all the tips guys & gals. I used Lacrilube one night, which made a small improvement. The following night I used Lacrilube and a cloth mask which made a big improvement. The problem with the cloth mask was getting a good seal under my face mask. I am thinking of changing my present mask t...

I love this Forum, you people are so helpful and clever. I like the way you can put those helpful links or threads thingys into your posts, at my age i am still struggling to master pen and paper.

Can anyone give me any tips for countering dry eyes. When wake i can't see until i put drops in my eyes. the condition seems to be worsening.

Thanks Sleepytoo2, i have been seaching the the topic on the webb, and there does seem to be some indication for the benefits of folic acid supplements. separate findings from Bristol university in the UK, Canada, and the US, are all positive on the benefits. A simple daily dose of 5 mg of folic aci...

can anybody enlighten me about the benefits of folic acid supplements in the the treatment and preventure of dementia and alzimers disease. i believe there have been some studies around the world, also folic acid can help with sleep problems ?

Thank you archangel, I think I fully understand now about the S9 Auto. I think I'll put in, as you suggest, a minimum and a maximum pressure and see how I get on for a week. Will let you know more as and when I get results. Thanks again.

Thanks you guys, excellent feedback, But i am still somewhat confused about the meaning of auto on the S9, i thought that i could leave the machine on its default settings of 4-20. If not what does the auto refer to. forgive my ignorance, and also if this topic has been discussed previously

Thanks randy3. That explains why i feel like i am suffercating when i start treatment. I can't remember what my lowest pressure settings were on the S8, But i think my upper pressure was 14 cm. On the auto it can be anywhere between 14 and 19. forgive my ignorance but i am fairly new to all this. I ...

I recently upgraded from a S8 resmed, which i believe is refered to as the brick, to S9 auto. i have lost my original settings from the S8 and was wondering if it will be ok to use the S9 on its default settings, of 4 to 20 and trust the machine to manage my sleep. by the way thanks you guys for a g...
