Re: Overwhelmed & frustrated

So get me a detailed report from last night. I am afraid I did not have the sense to remove my card and install it into the machine last night, Pugsy, but will be on it again this evening and thanks for helping as usual. I read your nice Pointers and will read up on padacheek.com as well. I'm also ...

Re: Overwhelmed & frustrated

Olindacap, once you get the humidifier off classic mode, then pay attention to how you handle the big button. It is not only the on and off switch, but it also acts as a dial for the humidifier. That's how you could have set your humidifier for C-3 but found it on 5--you probably turned the dial wh...

Re: Overwhelmed & frustrated

An hour doesn't tell us much of anything. Nothing of huge excitement showing on that hour. If you can't remember a specific night where you woke up and machine was off (or you thought it was off) then we will just have to go from here on out and try to catch one. Pugsy, I can tell you that last nig...

Re: Overwhelmed & frustrated

Can you get me the detail nightly report for a night where you woke up suffocating after 2 hours? Where you say the machine was off? I am not sure I am getting a guaranteed day where the misery level was ultra high, as I have not kept a log but will try to do so moving forward. Here's a typical scr...

Re: Overwhelmed & frustrated

John: This week marks the first anniversary of my intro to CPAP. That was a very kind, wonderful, heartfelt message and I wish I had read it two months ago. Had I your brains I might not be in the plight I'm in, but my start has been the extreme opposite and now the hope is maybe I can reach your p...

Re: Overwhelmed & frustrated

AFlex is only available in APAP mode...so if you are using AFlex set to 3 then you are using APAP mode. Is that good? For the model 560 machine....you should choose PR System One 60 series Auto CPAP For the humidifier you should choose PR System One 60 series Heated Tube humidifier with heated hose...

Re: Overwhelmed & frustrated

Welcome to the forum. Thanks Pugsy! Can you please verify your machine model number? Sorry about that. When I set up my profile I didn't see an option for a 560P, which is the closest thing to a model number I can fund under the machine. So, I do think it is a 560P. Model number will affect your op...

Overwhelmed & frustrated

Hi everyone I'm John and new here…. I'm a bit overwhelmed and could use a shot in the arm from anyone out there who is in the mood to help. I'm sure many here have the same issues, and I've done some searching, looked at the videos, but am still a long ways away from getting myself on track: 1. I'm ...
