I will try and get some data uploaded (but I do not have any of the data from the respironics machine). As a side note - during my sleep study, I was having apneic spells lasting 100-180 seconds and my sats frequently went down to (and stayed in) the range of 70-72% for extended periods of time. I c...

Have had way too many problems to list since starting CPAP therapy in February. Severe sleep apnea. AHI was over 30 on my sleep study. My AHI is consistently 7-15 everyday despite therapy. My pressures range from 7-20. I have obstructive events even with a pressure of 20. My sleep doctor is great an...

Hello everyone. I am glad that some of you are finding the information given my provider helpful. FYI I am in OKC area and if any of you want the name of the physician, send me a PM. To answer the last questions... yes, I have major desats. I get down to 70% and stay that way for 120 seconds - so it...

Long entry here at 4:09am but am not sleeping well tonight due to a recent death in the family... not from apnea or cpap use. As some of you have seen by my recent posts ("done, finished, I give up"), I have really struggled for 2 months with cpap therapy. Today, I finally saw a sleep specialist who...

SUCCESS OMG! The nasal pillows (with chin strap) are about the greatest thing ever!! I have the airfit (need to change that on my settings). The straps were a bit long (even moving them the way the manual suggested) so I just cut a small amount of each side and sewed it back together. Voila - no mo...

Oh my goodness!!!!! I was extremely tired today. Was a difficult drive home. When I arrived home my new AirFit P10 was waiting for me and I immediately tried it out. So small, so silent, so comfortable! Took a 1.5 hour nap and woke up wide awake and feeling great. Leak rate: zero. AHI: 0.9. I am act...

BTW... my new nasal pillow mask is being delivered today and I am excited to use it tonight!! Last night I got a terrible lead with my hybrid (I think one of the nasal pillows came out) but was too sleepy to mess with it to fix it. I think I wore it until about 3:00 this morning (which was much impr...

Absolutely.... I do know.... I just needed a little mental break. I do not normally drink at all, and especially before bed. I just was starting to feel like I was going to explode and needed to chill a little.

Today has been a little better for me. Was given a little help with my sleeping last night from a friend Only was able to sleep 1.5 hours with the hybrid on then woke up (that is actually pretty good for me, I usually do not sleep that long when using the cpap). Took the mask off and slept the rest ...

I have a small quattro air you can try if you want. I don't think i will be using it again. only 1 month old but used for only about 2 weeks.

Thank you so very much for everyones support and suggestions. I am NOT going to give up. I know I need CPAP ("severe" sleep apnea with apnea events lasting 2 minutes). It has just been so difficult - especially physically which has made the mental part hard. When my first few nights did not go so we...

I am a mouth breather so I have chosen full face mask and a hybrid. If I used nasal pillows, would it keep my nasal passages open where I could breathe through my nose (and keep my mouth closed with a chin strap)? I paid out of pocket for the hybrid. My RT at the DME told me the quattro air was the ...

At week 6 now of CPAP use and I just dont think I can do it anymore. I was supposed to see my doctor this week but I had to cancel due to work conflict and now they cant get me in for another 4 weeks. I have tried both the quattro air and the hybrid mask. The quattro mask gives me a pressure ulcer o...

Has been a while since I wrote. Have taken a couple of steps forward... baby steps but at least it is a forward direction Stopped using the liners because I felt they were always moving. Got a "pad-a-cheek" cover, which I like more. Am still waking up literally every 2 hours. Was getting very exhaus...

Downloaded the software and this is what I got:
