Humidifiers

I purchased my machine with a heated humidifier. Several times I ran the humidifier empty and noticed my mouth was a little dry. However, I started an experiment where I would use the CPAP without the humidifier. I seem to do fine. The problem with my mouth being dry has seemed to disappear. Possibl...

snorer, I feel a pretty much as you do. I seemed to sleep well, often existing on about 6 hour a night. My sleep study showed my min SaO2 was 90.6% and my mean was 96.6% not much different than my wake Sa02.. However, my blood pressure has been elevated and my girl friend would sometimes end up in t...

Geeeze and here I was worried you guys were going to kick me off the island.

Maybe we need to lighten up a little. If someone is bugging you, just tell them to bug off and the tribe will stick up for you. At least I will.

My lay person understand of OSA is that basically there are two causes. Upper and lower airway blockage. The upper is caused mainly by the uvula and the lower by the base of the tongue. UPPP may help with the upper airway blockage. Several years ago, before I realized I had OSA I had a UPPP performe...

Re: Got my AHI below 2; Now I need a new mask

My AHI has been pretty decent since starting CPAP. So, I haven't been focusing on it too much - I have other issues. This week, I performed an experiment on a particular CPAP setting . My AHI dropped quite a bit. For the past 4 days it's been: 1.9; 1.4; 1.0; 1.3 Unfortunately, these numbers have co...

I don't own a "tank" but know people that have them. My main complaints about my M so far are. 1) The power supply cableing is a mess. Should be just one cable from the P/S to the machine. Actually it would be better if you just somehow plug it in. 2) The display should light up (mine doesn't) and t...

I have tinnitus. And think that it is exacerbated by OSA. I sometime will wake up with the sound being more prominent. I have also noticed that if I tighten the muscles in my jaw it will also change the pitch. I have read several places that tinnitus can be caused by OSA. I've had it looked at sever...

Your mileage my vary. I find that the "Liberal" viewpoint that Fox presents is a made up liberal viewpoint that no liberals I know actually hold, and it's put forth simply to be a straw man which can then be handily knocked down by one of their talking heads like O'Reilly or Hannity. Combs? You mus...

My other reason for making the pack was to see if I could use it on long flights. I know this will open a can of worms, but from my initial investigation, the rules state that battery terminals must be double insulated, which they are. The batteries are the same as are found in portable music playe...

Anyway I agree FOX news is not exactly balanced - it mainly presents liberal and center viewpoints so all I really watch on it is Hannity and Colmes. I occasionally watch other FOX shows. If it presented more conservative viewpoints I would watch it more. You're either playing with us, seriously de...

1st week results of APAP

Thought I would do the customary update of a newbie. First I would like to thank those that spend their time educating all the new comers. You are a great resource. I was diagnosed with severe apnea with a AHI of 54.7, RERA’s at 82 events per hour and 2 Central Apneas ver a 5 hour period. However my...

Thanks, I think I'll just forgo the S/W. I don't see the savings for bundling. In fact it's about $10 cheaper if I buy them separately on cpap.com? I'll see how it goes. I like to make my life less complex rather than more complex. All I need is more software to deal with. If I could find a procedur...
