I can't say. I started CPAP on 01.08.14 and have yet to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. What a change. I think I would just turn off the machine and take off the nasal pillow mask that I use if I did get up. When going back to bed I would put the mask back on and turn on the...

How do I feel? I feel GREAT. From the first night on CPAP during my titration study I knew this was going to be a good thing. Haven't felt this good in quite a while. I am a success story from day one. Look forward to hooking up each night knowing what it is doing for me.

Approaching a month. Had my first night under 1 AHI - - .97. First time with no CA's or OA's. All hyponeas.

I am 26 days into CPAP and I knowingly wake up 2-4 times a night for just a bit and go right back to sleep. But when sleeping, the quality of sleep is so much better. Dream like crazy. I am one who saw immediate results. What a difference!!! Since starting CPAP I have not had to get up, even once, t...

Three weeks into this. My first night I had the same issue. I woke up feeling like I was suffocating and took the maske off. I kind of laughed about it once I came to. Put the mask back on and was good the remainder of the night. Have not had any issues since then. I found it took me a couple days t...

I just tried the Sleepweaver Advance for the first time last night. LinkC generously sent it to me free of charge. I must say, the first night was impressive. I really like it. Air diffusion is much better than my Swift FX. I don't think it is the newer model with the improved seal but had relativel...

For whatever reason, I found my CA events went way up when in the CFLEX+ or AFLEX mode on my Respironics. I am back to CPAP with just a relief of 1. CA's are few and far between now. I planned to stay with this setting a few more days then go back to CFLEX+ just to see if it repeats. I see you have ...

Good old redneck ingenuity - duct tape. That is the Red Green way.
No, couldn't resist. Probably what I would do but I am sure more experienced folks will chime in. I've only been at this three weeks.

Not an expert on the Resmed but based on decription of EPR I would say yes it is the same thing. It is a pressure relief during exhalation. Night three of the change and I have stayed at 3 or below.

I am sure someone will have more info but I do remember seeing a setting in Sleepyhead for the time offset. I assume that is what it is used for.

Welcome aboard. 2 week CPAPer. Joined once I scheduled my sleep study and was sure glad to have all this information leading into this adventure. You will learn so much from this board.

About two weeks into CPAP using a pressure of 8. When the machine was set up the FLEX was not turned on and my AHI was 2-3 for the first three days. I started playing with the FLEX and went to CFLEX+ and AFLEX with a constant pressure of 8. Various relief numbers. I did this for about a week and my ...

I am two weeks into CPAP right now. Using the nasal pillows. One nostril "nare" got a little sore to touch about a week into it but nothing unbearable. It did crust over and has just cleared up. I found that I started with the mask too tight. I kept losening it up and I am surprised at how loose I c...

Had my colonoscopy a couple months ago. During my yealry visit to PCP I had her scheduled that and my sleep study. Colonoscopy came first at the hospital. No issues. Late found out during sleep study that I had severe apnea. One thing about colonoscopy is you are on your side so that may help some.

Can't say if I know more than my sleep doctor. I have never met him nor talked to him. All I know is he read my study ( I assume), told my PCP to write a script for 8 and don't forget to send along the payment.
