'Tape worth a try?'


'Try taping your mouth shut?
Wife, is this you..?

It turns out my old machine had 6-15 as the pressure setting as well. When I figured out how to unlock the settings (thanks, Youtube)I upped humidifier temp setting, but since it was set to 'adaptive,' it never changed.The supply Co. helped me with this. I bumped it up. That may have helped. Dry mou...

Are the settings the same on the new machine?

I believe the pressure setting is higher on the max side 6-15 vs 6-9, but I think it works on demand. I will try lowering it. Thanks!

When you say you strap your mouth shut, do you mean that you use tape or that you use a chinstrap -- or do you use some other method?

Chin strap that goes over my head.

I just started using a new Philips Dream Machine last night. I kept waking up because of extreme dry mouth. I use a dreamware nasal pillow, and strap my mouth shut. It took me several years to adjust to my first rig (Philips Respironics Model System One Remstar Auto A-Flex.). I need a nap. If I side...

1. Where's the FAQ
2. Where in the CP can I direct responses to my email?

I have one to sell.

I need a new machine stat!
My local supplier carries Resmed air sense 10, Respironics Dreamstation and Res med S9. Anything I should stay away from? Cheers

I know Medicare doesn't pay the inflated prices that my med supply outfit charges, but have they (supplier) no shame? I ordered a new heated tube (this is the second one in less than a year, stopped heating). I checked one website and it was on sale for $25, but listed as $50. My med supply Co. subm...

About that murmur. It appears to help to remove the water chamber everydaynand leave it by the machine. We'll see (going forward). I tried going backwards, but couldn't go past 4 AD. You..?

Thanks all for the excellent info! Happy holidays!

squirrel (2019_02_17 20_35_24 UTC) (2).jpg I've been using CPAP for almost 5 yrs. I still don't like it. How do I know it's been 5 yrs? My supplier told me I'm almost eligible for a new machine. I have a Respironics. Does eligible mean I get a break on the price? One thing that bothers me is how mu...

Thanks PR for the point by point response.Very helpful. I thought I set this up to inform me if I got any responses. Never did, so I came here today to C. Cheers. Buonjourno..That thing about the nose ring? Just made that up. I musta mista scam..

Do I have to lug this thing to ItalY? Any other options (like the mini cpap that fits in your nose ring)? My machine, a 2 yr old Phillips, has developed a low murmur that varies slightly with pressure as I breathe. Sometimes it keeps me awake. I changed the filter to no avail. I don't clean it every...
