Re: Autoset 10 didn't send info yesterday....
I’m in Maine, I got the same message for yesterday and today. I thought it was because the WiFi signal was weak in the motel we’re stayin in.

Re: Feeling suffocated through night
In regards to your dry mouth— you said you have a Quattro Air full face mask.. I also use a Quattro Air ffm and get dry mouth. I keep a drink cup with a lid and straw on my night stand — I unhook my hose at the elbow ( without removing the mask) and take a quick drink thru the hole in the mask... go...

masks
Does anyone know of a site where masks are donated for people who would otherwise be unable to afford them? I have a couple that I tried but don’t like and thought someone could use them
Thanks

Re: Myair results unerstand
I use an air sense 10 autoset- I check MyAir just to see the score.. My AHI last night was 0.2, leak rate was good etc.. There are no more nocturnal visits to the loo. I'm told we had a horrendous thunderstorm night before last and I slept through it!! So, is MyAir useless for me? Or would sleepyhea...

Re: High leaks
I’m learning tighter is not better- I just watched the video on Utube— I thought I had it adjusted to fit, then the next night it’s too tight.. one night I sleep like the dead then the next night it’s absolute crap!!! Does everyone experience that?

High leaks
Hi everyone, I’ve been reading posts here for sometime now and have learned a lot from all of you. But my question is, how important are the leaks as opposed to good AHI? I have an Airsense 10 Auto with humidifier and heated hose— I use a Quattro air full mask that I think I have been making toooo t...

Re: HELP - feeling overwhelmed and like I'm going to fail
I had that same claustrophobic problem when I first started on Cpap. after 2 weeks of trying to adjust, I packed up the Dreamstation and took the machine back to the DME, called my pulmonologist and made an appointment.. I asked for other options, she prescribed the ResMed Autosense 10 and have not ...
