Hello i hope everyone is well. i would like to try to make my own headgear. it’s not the cost. Resmed has those this attaching straps that roll up and dig into my neck/head something terrible. i thought about just tracing the headgear and making the attachment legs and back larger to avoid this. i c...

I’m having a huge pet with my mask sliding up. my skin is very oily. I wear a Mirage Quattro Full Face. Years ago I remember seeing something about a PAP cap of sorts. A slick item your mask attaches to. I’m certain that’s what I need.

Does anyone have advice on this topic? Thanks

Thanks again all, Chicago granny I’m familiar with all the studies and such. I’m a very finite person. I would like to see something with science behind it. The studies are out there with some coronations but the majority of them are very small pools. Some as small as 17-20 people. I can’t put any w...

Thanks for the great information. My wife is 53 years old. Her memory problems just don’t compare to the dementia. I am completely unprepared to deal with any of this as I never expected any of it at my age, 53 also. So I am having to learn on the fly. I really struggle to explain the dementia, one ...

Ian struggling to manage the dementia it’s very difficult. There really is no one running point now. As soon as ...

What settings r u speaking of??

I have been using a VPAP S9 by resmed with Quattro full face mask. I guess I had gotten used to the pressure of the VPAP and I switched to my back up a Resmed S9 Autoset. It seems much more smooth and I don’t get the sense of the pressure at all. Is there anyway to get my Autoset to blow a bit more?...

I’m sorry respiration99 and Julie I have been sick. My machine is a VPAP auto. I don’t know my pressure settings. Thank you for your help.

I would agree, I also would think since I can not exhale against it I’m either crazy or something may be wrong with my pap. That’s what I was trying to figure out.

Machine is a ResMed 9VPAP mask is ResMed Mirage Quattro full face. I can’t exhale properly at all. The breath cycle is way too long. I’m trying to exhale and it firing air at me. Even when I try to exhale the air overpowers me. Need some help quickly. Can’t I just go to the “auto” mode some how. My ...

I don’t know my settings. Where can I find them

Hello all, I have a ResMed 9 VPAP. My mask is a ResMed mirage guattro full face. I have been having great difficulties exhaling against the machine. The exhale breath is too long on the machine and way too strong.

Any advice
