Re: RE: High Pressure required

Well you are about as far away as you can get aren't you. For the little pieces if you can find them separate....probably is cheaper than trying to ship half way around the world. Check out Amazon.com international....often they have the best rates for those little items and they get better prices ...

Re: RE: High Pressure required

If you find you can side sleep even with the 1 side plugged, look up some of the cpap pillows to see how they are cut out on the sides. You could experiment with cutting out a cheap foam pillow and see if it helps keep your mask in place, then decide if it would be a worthwhile purchase. And a firm...

Pugsy talked me into trying the nasal route and it is so much better. The filtered air blowing in my nose, for me, helps to keep the passages open.
Thanks! Indeed enjoying the filtered air these days...

Re: RE: High Pressure required

Where are you located? I might have one of the DreamWear nasal products that you could just have. I don't think I have the headgear though. I would need to look. I have a big box of stuff that people have donated...gently used and sometimes brand new...they don't want it to go to waste but don't wa...

Re: RE: High Pressure required

If you aren't using water right now in the humidifier....you can use tap water or bottled water. The worse thing that will happen is you might get a little mineral build up in the water chamber but that is easily removed with a little vinegar or lemon juice soak (I mention lemon juice because I per...

Re: RE: High Pressure required

Thanks Pugsy. Great suggestions for new CPAP user like myself! I am actually already planning to purchase the nasal mask in due course since it is adaptable to the Dreamwear FF mask setup as well. Just need to get the right nasal mask as well as the respective headgear. Don't need to twist my arm fo...

Re: RE: High Pressure required

Yes, there are machines that will go above 20 cm...some to even 30 cm but those are high end very specialty machines. What you probably need is just essentially what I call a plain bilevel which means a bilevel that doesn't do the fancy high end stuff (which you don't need anyway) except for the hi...

Re: RE: High Pressure required

Yes, I will try to use the humidifier once I get my hands on distilled water...and Yes, I do sleep with the windows open most days. I decided to purchase a full face mask knowing I mouth breathe due to the reasons below: Suffered from Allergic Rhinitis my whole life until last year when I started on...

Re: RE: High Pressure required

Thanks a lot Pugsy for the super fast reply! I did not know there is a machine that goes beyond 20...I am also hoping to stay on my side as it seems to allow me to breathe better (without CPAP) and lesser snoring. However, the Dreamwear FF mask doesn't seem to do well with that.... I will find out m...

RE: High Pressure required

Newbie here. Hope to learn more from the experts here! I started with the CPAP after a sleep test diagnosing me with AHI of 84 (crazy high). It has been about a week with my Dreamstation Auto CPAP and Dreamwear FF mask (because I am a mouth breather). Somehow the auto-titration has been shown that I...
