I’m on month 20 with a P10 and have certainly experienced clogged vents, which didn’t feel great I have to admit. Since then, i’ve been soaking the mask with a drop of dawn added to the water every few weeks and sometimes giving it a gentle scrub with a new, soft toothbrush. Sparkling clean.

I had a Dreamstation for the first 3 weeks on CPAP. I had such a hard time adjusting as it made me feel like I had to adjust my breathing to the machine rather than vice versa. I found it much easier to adjust to the Resmed machine. Having said that, the first weeks were definitely difficult but got...

Get better soon. Vertigo is not fun

I’m curious, do you use distilled water? The only time the air I was breathing has smelled was when I used tap water, as I had run out of distilled. Our drinking water is perfectly clean and has no noticeable smell. But, breathing it in such concentrated fashion, one can certainly smell that it is n...

In Ontario the Testing is paid for by OHIP, but otherwise the racket is similar to what you describe. After my first experience with one of the DMEs I called around and “interviewed” places to see how they would proceed and got a different loaner machine (I had wanted to try the Resmed machine). The...

I wear a P10 mask with a scünci headband as a chin strap. I’ve cut a long slit into the headband to mimic how the strap for the P10 works, since I think it helps keeping it securely on.

Best of luck

I found a Resmed guide on setting up a battery set up at this address.

So very interesting. Thank you for reporting on this.

Being a side sleeper myself, I was reminded during a recent hotel stay that pillows can cause leaks when sleeping on the side. I have a relatively flat foam pillow at home (something cheap from Ikea, although there are Cpap pillows, too) and when I was using the fluffy, high loft hotel pillows, I ha...

For a super cheap way to try a chin strap concept, use a scünci headband. It is effectively a tubular elastic. I actually cut a lengthwise slit of about 3-4 in into it and use it like the p10 headgear. Having said that I have long hair that I put up and that helps anchor all the gear

I’ve been using my P10 pillows about 6-7 months and they seem ok. I run them daily under the tap and put them into hot soapy water every week or two. Seem ok so far. Have bought a few replacements at a recent sale as I don’t rave a final prescription yet (long story).

I’ve been using a scunci headband into which I cut a 3-4” length-wise slit to mimic the P10 headgear. I find this works quite well and stays on my head. I’ve been using this in conjunction with a P10. Hope this helps.
