Last night I tried it at 6 on the humidity and temp of 73 and it seemed to work better. I will try that setting for a while

When I ran it in CPAP I had more difficulty tolerating it and getting to sleep. I drink 4 to 6 20oz
bottles of water a day so I don't know if I could drink allot more then I already am!! I will keep
you all posted on here.
Thanx

Thanx, I will investigate suggestions for leaking. I am assuming that the increase in airflow is what makes my drymouth worse then not using the CPAP. If I sleep without it my drymouth is greatly reduced, but then my apnea is raging along!! My prescribed setting for air pressure is 16. I use the ram...

Hi Pugsy

Temperature options are off then 60 to 85 degrees. Humidity is off then 1 to 6 The
humidity settings do not say anything referencing a percentage, just off then 1 to 6

Hi Pugsy Yes I have the heated hose. I am using biotene as well. It helps a little bit, but noy much. Some nights are worse then others. I woke upo at 5 this morning literally choking from being so dry. My lips were sticking together and if I tried to talk I just produced a dry cough. I drank about ...

Oh and my equipment is listed, I use a full face mask as my nose is strictly
ornamental!! It has been broken about 3 times so it is not of much use
for breathing!!

I just wanted to update this again. I am still ahving a great deal of problems with getting dry mouth bad enough that my wind pipe has closed off on me on more then one occasion!! I wake up choking, it is not pleasant!! Overall the CPAP definitely helps me in that I can now stay awake all day, which...

Thanx Jeannh and Rogernc for that link, I will check them out. One more question, looking to see if anyone has an idea for dry mouth. I wake up once or twice a nite because my mouth gets so dry I start choking. I need to take off the mask and get a drink of water, then put it back on, and back to sl...

To RD1978, as other members on here I am all set, but just wanted to tell what everyone else already told you. Very kool of you to want to help other folks out. I may know someone that could use this that has no insurance and very little money. I will talk to him tonight, and if he still needs a uni...

Thanx NAN, I'm getting used to it, slowly!! I am far less sleepy during the day, so it is worth it. My fiancé said that as long as the mask is on correctly I do not snore at all!! caffeinatedcfo the mask is not great, I find that I when I make it tight enough not to leak my face is a bit sore, I hav...

Well I actually got wrapped up with applying for jobs until 4 AM, but when I went to bed I tried the CPAP with the new setting and slept from a little after 4 AM until 9 AM which is the most sleep I have ever had with the CPAP. I did wake up with my mouth as dry as the sahara desert, in fact what wo...

Hello all, I received an S9 CPAP yesterday, so far I have had no success even getting a moment of sleep with it on. I am not feeling too bright as I have known other people that used CPAP machines with a great deal of success, including my Dad when he was alive. I was diagnosed with OSA & narcolepsy...
