Re: buying a machine

as for why - I could not get used to masks on my face and that kept me awake. after 2 hrs of not falling asleep, I took mask off, turned off machine and then shortly fell asleep but w apneas.

Re: buying a machine

insurance forget it, I will pay for it and replacement masks. I don't need compliance data; only need to get results in how I feel.

I would expect to ramp from 4 to 8 with C-flex to make expiration easier

You think this machine doesn't allow those settings?

My purchase would be a System One

Re: two weeks new to CPAP, just joined here

Thank you ALL for encouragement. I slept last night 6 hrs with FFM. 3 hrs the night before when I mistakenly took it off by misreading the clock by 3 hrs. FINALLY!!! I discovered I had leaks early this morning and will have to adjust it tighter I guess and hope that extra pressure doesn't derail me....

Re: two weeks new to CPAP, just joined here

no, I do not get 2 hrs of sleep with it. I wear it and do not fall asleep and am awake until I give up after 2 hrs and take it off. Honestly, I do not fall asleep yet. Later, without it, I sleep 4, 5 hrs. That is: I don't get ANY sleep with it ((( Tonight I put it on and went to bed around 10:15. At...
