Leaks vs. my AHI numbers
I've been using my CPAP equipment for over 6 months and am happy to be one of the lucky ones who has had great success. I feel so much better, my foggy head is gone, and even my husband keeps mentioning that I am looking and acting like the "old" Judy. Here is my question. After trying out several m...

Question about air pressure
I have a question about how the ramping up feature works on the ResMed S9. Originally, my machine was set up (per doctor's prescription) for a 25 minute ramping-up period starting at 4 and going to 12. Yesterday, the DME sent a person to my home to fit me with a full face mask since I was having lea...

Questions about leakage rate
I've been using my CPAP machine for almost 3 months and will be seeing my doctor on September 3 for my 90-day compliance appointment. Before this appointment, I'd like to get some things straight in my mind. This way, I can be sure that the Dr. and Resp. Therapist are leveling with me. Basically, th...

Chin straps and TMJ
This evening, Chunkyfrog mentioned that using a chin strap if you have TMJ may not be a good idea. It was under a topic entitled "Masks". I am wondering why using a chin strap would not be a good idea if you have TMJ. I have TMJ and wear a mouth guard and this is the first time that I've seen this m...

Exchanging mask within 30 days
I received my ResMed 9S Auto and Swift FX Nano for Her on June 6. I'm a mouth breather so I was also given a chin strap. My AHI number has increased from 3.4 the first day to 6.7 now 11 nights later. At the moment, I'm too new to all of this to have know of why this is happening. The only thing that...

Is this possible?
I'm happy to report that last Friday my CPAP machine was finally delivered by the DME. It was an arduous process, and I won't bore you with the details, but thanks to all the information I read on this group, I refused to accept the wrong machine when it was delivered and insisted that they deliver ...

Checking run hours on ResMed S9
Would someone familiar with the ResMed S9 Auto please tell me where to look when I get my machine to check the number of run hours? Thanks.

Newbie with a question
First of all, I want to thank those of you on this forum who respond to questions for taking the time to do so. I know how time consuming this can be. Since I was diagnosed with sleep apnea, I have been trying to absorb as much knowledge as I can from this group while I wait for insurance (Medicare)...
