Does anybody out there know how you can limit the maximum air pressure that a resmed s8 autovantage will spit out. the pressure has been going to 19 and no man alive can withstand that kind of pressure. Please help. I know it is not doctor recommended but I would like to experiment. I think it is ho...

I have been using the ultra mirage full face mask for over a year now. I have it hooked to a resmed s8 autovantage with humidifier. I have to be honest and say that the % of nights of non compliance far out number the positive nights of compliance. I mean I am logging 1-2 hours a night with this thi...

Hello All - I will be traveling for business in the near future, and I wanted to know if a note is required stating that the cpap bag with hose and mask is a medical device and should be treated as a carry on? I think I remember somebody stating that since it is a medical device that it will not be ...

I have a ultra mirage full face mask and attached to the mask are two silicone cushions that apply pressure to your forehead after adjusting the top straps of the mask. I have been using this mask for over a year and lately I am getting these two red bumps on my forehead from the cushions. The bumps...

Have any of you thought that the referring physician to the sleep study center is getting kickbacks on this? I went to a pulmonary physician who first recommended that I have a sleep study. The center he recommended was horrible so the first time I didnt sleep enough for them to get results so I had...

Last night was the first night in exactly two weeks to the day since I bought the UMFF that I actually woke up this morning with the thing on. Wow, just shows that patience with the thing works. Now if I can just remember the exact position I had the mask for tonight???? I was overjoyed to look at t...

Jay PSU - could be the sleep debt that people mention in this forum. Maybe now that you are sleeping soundly your body is craving more sleep in the beginning to pay off some of that sleep debt that has been builiding up while you were not on therapy. On another note what is the highest pressure that...

Woozle - I read your post and can relate. My DME suggested that I have a very thick tongue. There is another member on this forum who is currently using the TAP system, so I am waiting to hear back on his results. By the way, why do you hate the UMFF. I have the same mask and I have been having diff...

what is this moleskin and what do you use it for? My DME told me to go to the drug store and get some breathe right nasal strips. Have any of you tried this and has it been successful?

Hello All - I am about to buy a Resmed S8 for $750 out the door. Can anybody out there let me know about their experiences in trying to have your health insurance carrier absorb any of this cost? I am curious since I heard that unless you get a straight CPAP (which I do not want) then the insurance ...
