Re: Need Help With Full Face Mask
I gave the Dreamwear Full Face Mask another try starting on May 20 and implemented Pugsy’s and JD's suggestions. I settled on a pressure range of 9.5 – 12.5, set humidifier at 5.0 fixed (highest) and wore a soft cervical collar. Look at these results! May 20 – June 5 (17 nights) AHI .27, RDI .64 , F...

Re: Need Help With Full Face Mask
I will try a soft cervical collar again. Wow on your water usage! Do you have to refill during the night? I suppose so.

Need Help With Full Face Mask
Some of you have helped me recently and would know my background experience. For those who do not, let me begin with a brief introduction. I have been using CPAP since January 2017. I have a Dreamstation APAP and for most of the last year I have used the Dreamwear cushions and then the gel cushions ...

Re: Whipper
My bad on the Flow Rate Graph from a Resperonics machine Pugsy. Of course I get a Flow Rate Graph as evidenced by my Sleepyhead attachments above. I just don't know exactly how to analyze it. That's why I pay attention to the Flow Limitation event markings and index. My understanding is that RDI is ...

Re: Whipper
By the way, I wonder if the RERA numbers are reasonably accurate as measured by the Dreamstation. After all, it has no way of knowing if I woke up or not. I suppose the flow limitations are fairly accurate. With Dreamstation you do not get a flow rate graph; just a flow limitation "event" with the F...

Re: Whipper
The first session I wore the Dreamwear FFM loose; I would say that it aws "floating" on my face. The third session I tightened it considerably; but, it was not uncomfortable and did not leave any red marks. Of more concern to me is the mask size. I had read, and the therapist at the DME siad as well...

I decided to join today because I’ve reached a sticking point in my therapy. I’ll begin with a note on my history. I started CPAP with a Resp...
