Hi friends! I'm having increasing issues with fatigue and trying to narrow down if it could be apnea related. I've been on my APAP since 2014. For most of that time I've felt good, and my average AHI was below 1, usually around .7 or so. In the last year or so, I've dealt with increasing fatigue--dr...

Does anyone know where I can rent an Airsense 10 AutoSet for Her? I'm going to try it because I'm still have unresolved issues with a lot of RERAs and hypopneas, and I had read that the AutoSet for Her algorithm is specifically designed for the differences in women's breathing patterns. I'm hoping i...

Hello! Has anyone used the Transcend Auto Mini APAP machine? How did it perform for you?

I know it comes with a couple of battery options (one chargeable and one solar), but the web site seems to indicate that you can't use the battery if you are also using the humidifier. Is this true?

Thanks,

This all makes a lot of sense, robysue!

So I guess the question is, what's a good way to relax with the CPAP and unwind my brain from needing to be so hyper-aware of it? Would welcome advice from anyone who has some great techniques for CPAP relaxation.

Thanks for the response! In answer to your question: So I'll end with some questions for you: Are you finding it harder to fall asleep with the PAP machine now? Are you lying in bed dozing lightly at the beginning of the night? Do you think you're falling asleep very briefly and then jerking awake (...

I use a PR System One REMstar Auto with A-Flex, pressure settings 8-15. I use the SleepyHead software to read my results.

I'm having trouble uploading screenshots of my data to the web so that I can post the URL on here, but I will definitely keep trying tonight.

I'm sorry you're having so much trouble! Others have already given some great answers about how to make the nose mask more tolerable. I second the idea of using a nasal mask instead of a nasal pillow; that would probably be my first move. Having said that, may I offer another opinion as well? I had ...

Hey all. I posted this question on another forum this week, but wanted to get all of your opinions as well. I've been on therapy for about 4-ish months now. After I got adjusted, the first two months were absolutely flawless. I had AHIs around .2 or .5 on a pretty regular basis. In the last month or...

Hi all! I've been on CPAP therapy for about a month. I was wondering if any of you have recommendations for a full face mask that works well (read: minimum leaks) for a woman with a petite face. I have to use a full face mask because sinus problems make it too hard to breathe only through my nose, b...
