Re: Chin Straps?

Another YES vote for the Ruby Red ... with velcro. Sure, I look like I'm getting ready for a wrestle but it works! And I love my new AirFit P10. Just coming up to two years on CPAP. Dry mouth has been an issue for me, and a FFM isn't an option because of another medical condition. So I use the chin ...

Mexico Travel Questions

Hello experienced travel buddies! In a few weeks time, I am going to Mexico for a two week holiday and have some questions about using my CPAP there. I tried the 'search' for past posts but kept getting a message "No posts exist inside this topic for the selected time frame." Recent posts come up bu...

Re: SD Card for ResMed S9

I am having the same issue: twice in the last two months. The latest was yesterday - I haven't checked the date for a few weeks but wanted to see if there were changes since I have switched over from a nasal mask to a pillow type. I definitely locked the card before I put it in my Mac book. Unlocked...

Where do Canadians order masks & supplies online?

I want to try the PureSom Ruby Topaz Adjustable chin strap and the AirFitPro nasal pillow mask. Did an order online for CanadaCPAPSupply but wanted to talk to someone. On the line for over 6 minutes and then I was put in some strange loop that finally dropped my call. Any success with ordering throu...

Re: The best chin strap and why I need to use one ...

Julie,
No, no changes in meds. My nocturnal polyuria has been an issue for several years and I have been investigated by a urologist, internist and nephrologist. No answer. Just a puzzle and scratching of heads.
I am too 'young' to have senior issues ha ha, but thanks for the suggestion.
Best.

Re: The best chin strap and why I need to use one ...

Thanks for everyone's suggestions: Julie - I do know that nocturia can be a sign of sleep apnea. When I first started CPAP over a year ago, my nightly visits to the bathroom went from 3 down to 1 and I even had a couple of nights when I didn't get up at all. THAT was a welcome surprise because it ha...

The best chin strap and why I need to use one ...

Well, the Dry Mouth issue has been addressed numerous times on this board but I have discovered what seems to be causing mine: I tried taping my mouth but still woke up with an extremely dry mouth several times a night. Leak rates were great. AHI great. So when my recent dental checkup showed gum in...

Need help with SD card message after downloading

I downloaded my card this morning and when I put it back in the machine, the following message came up: 'Invalid SD card, erase card data?' I took it out and tried again. Same thing. I did a 'search' for this problem and it seems that a file could have been written on to the card. Is this right? I'm...

? mouth appliance to keep tongue in place

Well, I still have the issue of dry mouth at night despite low leak rates. Even taping my mouth, or using a chin strap doesn't prevent the dry mouth issue. The past few nights have been brutal! And my noturnal polyuria is back in full force and I mean POLYURIA! (My AHI is up and down like a yo-yo de...

Re: Sleepyhead Display Settings

I started having a lot of problems with Sleepyhead (Mac version) so downloaded the latest version v0.9.4-3 and it works great.
