Re: Most negative forum.

He can always be relied upon to point out and vigorously challenge any and all erroneous or potentially harmful posts spewed by various clueless boobs ! ...

Re: Heated tube
I only use mine when the room R/H gets below 35%. This winter, I did not use it at all. Last year, three or four nights. Where you live in GA, it's humid most of the year...not so in the rest of the world. R/H runs 35 - 40% in my home for about six months of summer. Outside is 70 - 99%. My variable...

Re: Software for a PR S1 Auto CPAP #550
I see all of you posting all these graphs and charts with all this data and I realize I need to get more involved than just reading my AHI when I wake up in the AM. LMAO. If your AHI remains low, your leak level is low and you sleep and feel well, then this is just asking for complications to your ...

Re: Heated tube
Do you even need a humidifier? Unless you live in an arid climate, you probably don't need one. Humidifiers, in most climates, are self-indulgent nonsense.mibbim wrote:Any benefit to a heated tube if the machine come with a humidifier? It's better with or without it? Thanks!

Re: Titration Study Failure--What to do?
Do they just start everybody off at some kind of baseline and then monkey around with settings, masks, and machines until they finally get it right? Thank you for any helpful advice! I would get a data-capable auto CPAP and set the pressure range to 7 - 20. Then stick around the forum, learn to use...

Re: Cervical collars: recommend foam with holes punched in?
I hope you don't confuse people with pictures of those collars. Those are not what we are talking about and will not be effective. Someone could try one and find it is totally ineffective. That would be a real shame because many of us have found REAL cervical collars to be a key part of improving ou...

Re: Cervical collars: recommend foam with holes punched in?
http://www.necksolutions.com/travel-neck-pillows.html I know these are neck pillows, but they also make cervical collars. I was just wondering if this was what you were describing? Those would not work for me. You need something to cross under the jaw and stop it from dropping. The gap in the front...

I use a surge protector and turn it off every morning when getting up. I don't like to leave electrical current to the machine when it is not in use.123.Shawn T.W. wrote:It was plugged in
Sorry, can't help you about the error message. A backup machine is always a good idea.

Re: Dreamstation - CFlex or aflex in auto mode
Is it better to use aflex or c flex + . What be the most comfortable settings. Do people prefer one over the other. I have tried all the flex settings for many nights. The cycling up and down of the pressure on every breath is annoying to me. So, I don't use flex. My pressure range is 12 - 20, and ...

A medium and the medium of this mask is huge!
Are you saying you usually wear a medium of the Simplus or a medium of a different mask?
