Re: Can a little weight gain change apnea significantly?

I managed a fifty pound weight loss over about a two year period from mid 2019 to mid 2021. I've been working to maintain that loss. I got a new machine about 10 months ago. If anything, I think my pressures are a bit higher. In my case, the weight loss did not change my apnea. I think the higher pr...

Re: Resmed Airsense 11 release date?

As a young engineer, I was taught what "NEW" means. Never Ever Worked. This helps keep things in perspective.

Re: OSCAR Issues

Hi BlueDragon, I have taken a screenshot, but am hesitant to share it publicly since I can't edit out our full names. I can print the screen and literally cut that information out if that is what you suggest. The screen I have is the normal opening screen with the choice of profiles. I get the box t...

OSCAR Issues

I have successfully used both SleepyHead and OSCAR over the past six years. I recently got a new machine. I changed from a Phillips Respironics System One to a ResMed Autosense 10 for her. OSCAR is no longer working. Perhaps I should have added a new user for the new machine. OSCAR shows that it loa...

Re: OT: Repeating Pattern of Locked-Threads

Hi KnightSleeper, I think I qualify as a member who's been here a while but doesn't post much. I don't check the forum daily. I only read the posts that interest me. I have learned so much about cpap by reading about other people's experiences. I have been on cpap for over four years. My husband has...

Re: Skin allergy. Fibromyalgia. Giving up for now.

I would suggest going to an allergist. My husband's allergist is also a rheumatologist. For years he suffered from sensitive skin. He also had heat rash all summer long. He had one very bad episode last year while away on business. He needed steroids to calm down the skin rash. Allergy testing revea...

Re: Thinking of Switching DME's - Delays in New ASV :-(

I am in the process of changing my husband's DME. He was diagnosed in March. I was happy to use an independent family-owned company. I reluctantly gave a credit card number. I was told it was just to have on file and would be used for the initial payment. They came and set up the machine in mid-Marc...

Re: Cleaning an old CPAP

I have successfully gotten smells out of a thermos using activated charcoal. The thermos smelled so bad that I wanted to throw it out. I bought activated charcoal at the pet store. I placed it in an old clean sock, put it in the thermos, closed it and left it for a week or two. The smell was gone, a...
