Re: What are you supposed to feel like when you wake up?

Lol... I know where you are coming from so well... I am 37, and have had extreme sleep apnea all my life. CPAP was not effective until recently. About two years ago, I got pneumonia and spent a week in the hospital and was put on to bipap, which has a high enough pressure to be effective. (Still not...

Re: System One low pressure

660P pressure was @ 15/20. Now it's 15.5/21. But those minute adjustments never moved me from 20 to 60 b4. I just wanted to see if it would change much. Man I'm gonna be bummed if something serious is wrong with it, as I can't afford to replace it right this second

System One low pressure

I have a system one that is fairly new. It has less than 150 hrs on it. I hadn't used it in a while (I know, bad me) and the drawer had gotten separated from the rest of the unit, so when I started using it again, I used only the main unit at first. I noticed it a little then, I think, but the press...

Re: Completely confused newbie...

For drooling, there are people on this board who use Pad-A-Cheek mask liners. They do two things. Absorb the drool (there is a thread here about that .. do a search), and help you to get a better seal with your mask. http://padacheek.com/ Thanks! I will definitely try it. I would have thought someth...

Re: Completely confused newbie...

Actually 4 years old... time flys when you're not looking... But it only has about a week's usage on it. I know, I know, but sitting in the box, is sitting in the box. Like I said, I'm in the market, but need a few weeks to right myself financially. It's still pliable... no noticable difference from...

Re: Completely confused newbie...

OK... 19/13 tonight BTW, Somehow SH is graphing the leakage wrong. Encore shows a totally different story. There was no leak @90+. The highest the avg has been since I got the machine was 57. SH also doesn't show the graphs right on my computer no matter how I set the fonts and graphs. Either it doe...

Re: Completely confused newbie...

OK! I DL Encore... Here are the results... Sunday night was the night I was at 74. It was also the night that the leak was the most. Avg of 57. Still, Encore never puts me into LL territory. Well it does, but like .4% of the night and such. (And I think that's mostly me allowing the machine to shut ...

Re: Completely confused newbie...

I realize I may be jumping the gun on the complex apnea too. It'd be nice if I am found to be wrong. It's not been proven one way or the other, just the observations of people that have known me all my life. I have no insurance, so this is really my only option anyway, so I may as well make all I ca...

Re: Completely confused newbie...

Ok, sorry I have been gone all day, but here are some answers to some of your questions... 1. I have a full face mask already. When my buddy gave me the original CPAP, he gave me nose pillow mask with it, but I am definitely a mouth breather, so I immediately found a medical supplier here in Houston...
