Re: Dry Mouth Saga

I still have a small piece if the xylitol on each side of my mouth most mornings when I wake up. I'm not on any medications that cause dry mouth anymore. I assume that I mouth breathe at some point since that's why I switched from a P10 to the Amara view. I'm pretty sure it's not a nasal congestion ...

Dry Mouth Saga

I live in Southern Arizona... it's dry. Super Dry. All year long. had to get that it out there. I have my humidity settings all the way up but not the temp. Warm air makes me feel uncomfortable so I had to sacrifice the warmth that would give me more moisture. I'm using an Amara View mask and have n...

Re: Where did the ozone go?

I call it the "pool smell" lol in the materials I received with my machine it stated that the smell would go away with time and that as long as you used odor free, dye free detergents for spot cleaning it shouldn't come back. I've been using my soclean for 3 weeks now and I still get the smell but i...

Re: Sleepweaver Anew Trick and tips?

reviews are all well and good but I've not seen any tips that will help me. besides I'm asking about the Anew not the Advanced. I'm guessing no one is using this mask anymore.

Sleepweaver Anew Trick and tips?

Last night was my first full night with my new mask I see there is a great possibility that this is the one. I am having some difficulty getting rid of the last of the nasal bridge/eye leaks though. I can only smash half the mask into my pillow lol. Last night I over tightened and didn't realize it ...

Re: Getting Tube blocked message

The pillows were the ones that came with the mask... the inner cones seemed to flip inside out a lot even at the very beginning. I'm a stomach sleeper though I figured that that contributed to it too. it just got worse during this past week. Although this now explains the mysterious shut offs when I...

Getting Tube blocked message

for the last 4 days I've put on my mask around midnight and took it off 6-7am... pretty usual for me. I've noticed that before I fall asleep sometimes my machine will give me the hose blocked messages though and turn off. and also this morning caught using sleepy head that the last 4 days I've been ...

Re: what's happening here?

what's happening here?

I've seen this a few times (the reduction of ipap pressure) but I'm not sure what's going on. While I have a VAuto I'm not using the auto settings yet since I don't understand them. Has anyone else seen this happen before?

Re: Quick question

sorry I didn't mean to make someone panic. the reason for my pressure drop wasn't my AIH it was I was getting really bad Aerophagea-- I still get it but not as bad now. Thanks for the input though

Re: Quick question

I figured. Since I started I think I've only had 3 obstucted come up 2 CAs and the rest are hypopneas. the apneas were worse before I asked for my pressure to be reduced. but my usual AIH is less then 1 right now.

Quick question

Re: something weird happened....

It could have been a power outage there was a thunderstorm kicking up as I fell asleep - although all the clocks in the house are fine. I probably turned it off and on in my sleep though. I don't have the auto on thing on yet. but the mask was on all even when the machine was off. That explains the ...

something weird happened....

I remember putting the mask on last night at 11:45 ish... I remember falling asleep sometime around 12:30 or so. and I remember waking up at 4:45am.... I think the machine was on when I woke up because I turned off to drink some water and allow for a burp. My machine says I only used it for 2 hours....
