Equedor

I'm traveling to Equedor next week. Do I need a converter or an adapter? I know I have to go from 120 to 110 but I don't understand the difference.

Re: Balloon Mouth

Wow these are all great reply's thank you all so much for taking the time to help me! Taping is a necessary risk for me I’m afraid but perhaps I am doing it wrong. I’ve been making sure my lips are as tightly sealed as possible. Perhaps a way letting some air escape is the answer. I also found a pos...

Balloon Mouth

I finally have my mask fitting right and I put an end to my mouth breathing by taping my mouth shut. It seems like every time I solve a problem my body comes up with a defense. The best I can tell what is happening now is that air is traveling through my nose via my throat and into my mouth blowing...

Re: Kvetching

You are all wonderful and I've enjoyed each of your reply's for different reasons. I went to sleep with the blue tape last night for the first time but honestly I don't think it would have gone as well as it did if it were not for the 2 martini's I had after dinner. I like the idea of teaching my se...

Re: 95%

Learn how your machine calculates leak rate. Learn that 24 L/min is large leak territory for your machine. Don't want to go there if you can help it. Short spikes past 24 L/min aren't the end of the world though. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Pugsy! I will start focussing more on my leaks. One th...

Re: 95%

I still don't understand it seems clear to me that the machine is pumping more air than the 7 I'm currently set at and I'm trying to figure out if I need to change my settings.

Thanks anyhow.

Re: 95%

My APAP is set at 7 to 15. SleepyHead shows my 95% averages 9.52 Does this mean my pressure should be set higher? I don,t know about SH but more likely lower not higher as the 95p is the pressure the machine been at and below for 95% of the time and 5% of the time higher. You can check whats the ma...

Speed Bump

I’ve had my shiny new ResMed 9 Auto Set for exactly 1 month and had been doing GREAT. That was until last night. I woke up 2 times aware that I had stopped breathing and think the machine was pumping air at a higher rate (normal is 7). Today, I’m tired and my mind is foggy for the first time since s...
