Re: Six months and still struggling

I can't tell you how fucking helpful your posts are. Really, I can't. Having noticed your penchant for nitpicking, here is a timely reminder for fellow Oklahoman's (among others) for you to nitpick. :D Prepare for a snowstorm by staying indoors, keeping warm with layered clothing, and having emerge...

Re: Six months and still struggling

The act of opening your mouth often causes the tongue and soft palate to shift backward toward the throat, further narrowing the airway. Only if you're swallowing. Swallowing what? Air? I do wake up with flatulence. Mostly in the morning. It gets better after a while, as the day goes along. :D

Re: Six months and still struggling

I do not use any incline, but I have noticed that there are those on here that do with some success. I have to use a cervical collar or I end up with the bottom of the mask in my mouth. It (for me) was very easy to get used to. For several years I used the Resmed P10 with a head sweat band and a hom...

Re: Six months and still struggling

I have the same problem (not as severe as yours), and sitting up makes a difference. My problem is getting and staying asleep in that position. So I just tough it out and make myself as comfortable as possible to get the best sleep I can. Over six years now and I work at that constantly. Changing ma...

Why do you have 10 heated hoses and why do they need testing? I don't see the point.
Hose fetish and nothing better to do? :lol:

Re: Six months and still struggling

I guess I just am still confused because if I am only breathing through my mouth then how could I be getting flow limitations from nasal obstruction? It is confusing, but the short answer is that the same underlying blockage that forces you to breathe through your mouth also causes a drop in pressu...

Re: Pressure on left side of chest

Just off the top of my head. :wink: Before your treatment for severe sleep apnea, you were probably tossing and turning all night long. Now with the better sleep, you’re probably staying in one position or another for much longer period of time. Your body hasn’t caught up with the new you. Hopefully...

I have the Airtouch f30i mask for two weeks now. I clean it daily with soap and water and then towel dry lightly. It dries quite fast. I love the cushion.
Good to know, thanks.

Re: Airsense 10 and F40 mask - blow out

The AirTouch F30i Clear Full Face CPAP Mask https://www.cpap.com/products/resmed-ai ... gKg6vD_BwE. It has a silicone/fabric cushion. It is the most comfortable full face mask I have ever used(by far). Oh, wow! I've been using the F30i for years. I missed that they introduced a fabric-coated versio...

Good job, Iron Lung Man. It seems this site is filled with empty people that can't grasp reality. SSRIs all around.
Ah, the classic "low intellect" Type 1. Thanks for confirming.

Re: Airsense 10 and F40 mask - blow out

Transitioning to a F40 mask with a Airsense 10. Experiencing blow-out leak after nominal start. Haven’t looked at my Oscar data yet. No amount of strap tensioning helps. I start out with a nice “just right” and mask starts leaking and then I tighten to remedy leak, only to have mask leak again, rin...
