Re: Newb question. Facial hair and full mask

I have a goatee and soul patch and they never seem to be a problem. I'm using a hybrid Resmed liberty, not full face, but I don;t think it'll be an issue for you.

Re: Sleepyhead/ S9 problem

Oh Pugsy, you are a genius. We have a 2 month old baby and she's been sleeping in our room. I didn't want The light from the S9 in the morning to wake her, so I was powering the S9 all the way down to get the lights to turn off. Every morning. So this morning I did as you said and just clicked it on...

Re: Sleepyhead/ S9 problem

Thank you for the reply Pugsy. I wiped the card and put it back in the S9 and turned it on. It didn't have any error messages. I left it in and ran it for two nights and then powered the machine down and removed the card. Loaded it into Sleepyhead and I still have some basic data, but no detailed st...

Re: Sleepyhead/ S9 problem

I was looking at the files on the SD card, thinking maybe I forgot to lock the card and there was a file that the S9 didn't like and I ran across a folder that was corrupted. So I re-formatted the disk and tried again to see if I could get all of the data. Still nothing! I get a few summary data and...

Sleepyhead/ S9 problem

Hi there! I'm fighting leaks (again) and went to examine my data and found the dreaded NO DATA on Sleepyhead. I always write protect my SD card now and am on the same computer. The card must have been in the machine all the way, because I have summary data. What else could be messing it up? If you h...

Re: I got a taste of heaven - now it's gone!

I've had charts like the following for about a week now! http://i61.tinypic.com/330fxbl.jpg Amazing! I think I finally solved the mystery of the deathly leak. The key is actually bending the top of the mask down/inward a bit, which sort of over-exaggerates the angle of the nasal pillows. What was ha...

Re: I got a taste of heaven - now it's gone!

I tried twisting the nose pillows around last night and while it felt like they fit better, my leak was horrible. I'm going to try the elastic band thing next I guess.

I don't. I only have a nasal mask, which I tried, but I'm too much of a mouth breather - I couldn't do it.

Re: I got a taste of heaven - now it's gone!

Thanks Pugsy. I read the link. I was thinking myself about restraining the pillows somehow, so that seems like a good next step. Ive watched the manufacturers video so many times I can practically lip sync to it. The odd thing is that that mask and that size pillows worked before, so I'm pretty sure...

Re: I got a taste of heaven - now it's gone!

One more thing I've noticed: When I first started therapy my mouth was super dry. After I got things working well, I didn't have that problem. Now, I'm back to having a super dry mouth all the time. I even upped the humidity a little. I'm guessing maybe with a bad leak the humidification can;t do it...

Re: I got a taste of heaven - now it's gone!

Boy this is sooo frustrating. I can't figure out why I keep having leaks. I've proved that the Mirage Liberty will work for me, but since the sinus surgery I can't get it to not leak. I did try adjusting the mask multiple nights and I tried switching to a different size nasal pillow set. I THINK the...

Re: I got a taste of heaven - now it's gone!

I can drag the charts so the right ones are visible, but how do I know what's a good scale to use for them?
Thanks!

Re: I got a taste of heaven - now it's gone!

Can I trust the AHI if the leak was like it was in the above chart?
