Re: New here, help with older machine

Well, I resurrected the old laptop, and after much weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth, I got Sleepyhead installed.

Except, it will not open. :( I have restarted and still nothing. I will try again tomorrow. Maybe by then the computer will have recovered. :lol:

Re: New here, help with older machine

Yeah, the Opus pillows tend to irritate my nose, but I tolerate that a lot better than trying to use a full mask. Thankfully i normally sleep with my mouth shut. :)

Re: New here, help with older machine

Good grief. Lol. The gel cushions look similar to what I use now and probably give a better seal, but the nasal cushion looks like it would be more comfortable.

Re: New here, help with older machine

Aha.... apparently it's a Fisher & Paykel Opus 360 Nasal Pillow mask.

I'd really like to get the DreamWear mask. Not sure how that works with insurance, can I pick a different mask? I've only ordered restock supplies through Apria and it's been a while since I did that.

New here, help with older machine

Hi all :) I was diagnosed with sleep apnea in January 2011. Started CPAP at that time but to be honest, used it only very sporadically. I finally, after all these years, decided to get serious about using it and have used it every night for the last 24 days. I didn't see my machine in the list, I'm ...
