Re: Question for a friend

Hmmm - your explanation this time makes more sense to me (not that you haven't said the same thing 50 times, just that I haven't seen it the same way. I don't have the stats you do - just thought that leaking is leaking, and therefore the air's lost that way. Guess I'll have to look at it a bit dif...

Re: Is CPAP a scam of sorts? - my story

Dme told me, the other day, that a lady, new to cpap, told him that she gets her hair done every week and for two days after getting it done she doesnt use her machine because she doesnt want to mess up her hair. He told her that she was going to be a lovely corpse. Lmao! Okay, this doesnt add anyth...

Question for a friend

He just started on cpap using the new airfit p10 mask. His machine is resmed s9 autoset, pressure 7-10, diagnosed with mild apnea at 14 ahi. I've checked his data for the past two nights and his ahi is less than 1 but his leak rate is high. His pressure is about 8.5 . So, question is this ... his le...

Re: Newbie--Scared, Overwhelmed & waiting.....

It's good that you're learning all about it now. I didn't do that and got stuck with a machine I hated. So, out of pocket for a second machine. It made all the difference but I still hate using it. I hate the machine, and the mask, and the air and the diagnoses etc. etc. LOL. You seem like a pretty ...

Re: Getting a new machine

You don't download anything to the machine. The program is on your computer. You just take the card out of the machine and your computer reads the info from that.

Re: 52 years of sleep problems, sleep doc for the first time

So, you're getting a sleep test done or have already had one? The doc saying he couldnt answer any questions until after a test was done would be what any doc would say.

Re: Vegetarians Less Healthy, Lower Quality Of Life Than Meat-Ea

What's "hard to grasp" is why we feel the need to want to change other people. I'm vegetarian for ethical and health reasons but the reasons are mine and I own them. I'm sitting next to a meat eater right now who is chowing down on a hotdog. I don't walk his path and don't feel the need or want to t...

Re: Vegetarians Less Healthy, Lower Quality Of Life Than Meat-Ea

I don't know why people get so judgemental about what other people eat or don't eat. I'm vegetarian and couldn't care less if people eat meat. Not do business with someone because they don't eat meat? Lmao.

Re: Pressure at Higher Altitude

Congrats on your anniversary. Flagstaff is beautiful. I live in n. Utah ( elevation aprox. 4300ft). I recently spent a week in anaheim (elevation like 100ft.) and took my machine with me. I didnt notice a difference or change with the machine but maybe it's different with going from high to low.
