Re: SoClean

I am so thankful for this post! After I'd read it had several Facebook friends suggest the SoClean and when I said I was using another method to clean, they started with the scare tactics (you'll get this infection and that infection and some other infection if you don't clean the machine). Did they...

Re: AHI worse with CPAP than without?

PC card reader is fine (it read my camera card). I'll look into re-sizing the graphs when I get back from visiting my grands for the 4th.

Thanks again.

Re: AHI worse with CPAP than without?

I'll check the SD card reader and look at re-sizing the strips.

Thanks!

Re: OSCAR Suggestions & Bug reporting

I put Oscar on my laptop but the screen isn't large enough to screenshot the data needed to post here. I downloaded it onto my desktop since the monitor is much larger, but it won't import the SD card. On the laptop I get an auto-message that it has detected a Philips SD card and do I want to import...

Re: AHI worse with CPAP than without?

I'll try again with Oscar when I have time to pay close attention. But based on everyone's comments, my thought that it might be related to getting used to the machine seems to be on target. Maybe I can stop worrying. Though... I also have restless leg syndrome, diagnosed nearly 20 years ago via a s...

Re: OSCAR Suggestions & Bug reporting

At the DME they said that if your mask is not fitting properly none of your hours will count. That's a whopper. They just wanted to get you off the phone. Or out the door. There was another whopper if I remember right....she was told that she HAD to use it every night for 30 nights in a row. No men...

Re: AHI worse with CPAP than without?

I downloaded Oscar but couldn't figure it out and didn't want to risk erasing the SD card. Is there a manual somewhere?

AHI worse with CPAP than without?

It was reported to me that I had 6.5 episodes of apnea during my sleep study, and therefore I was put on CPAP therapy. I put the DreamMapper app on my phone, and in the 5 nights since I installed the app, my AHI has ranged from 6.3 to 14.9 (in order they were 14.9, 9.5, 6.3, 7.9, 10). The first 3 ni...

Re: How much water in the humidifier tank?

Thank you all! I've already learned so much from scouting this forum (like how to fend off the multitude of suggestions that I get a So Clean because otherwise I'll get horribly sick!) Our water here has a good amount of minerals in it, so I kinda like the idea of using distilled water (80 cents a g...

How much water in the humidifier tank?

I've been using the CPAP for a little less than a week and I've dumped more distilled water down the drain than I like. I fill the tank to the max level each night and it's barely below that the next morning. My DME told me to fill it nightly and dump it in the morning. I'm wondering though if I nee...

Re: Using CPAP machine for the first night

I'll be interested in this thread because I just had night #2 with my machine. Some intestinal distress had me up and down several times, and then at some point I realized that apparently with the worry and fuss over the machine, I forgot to take my restless legs medicine so my legs were twitchy. At...
