Hi again, everyone. I hope you all are well. Thank you so much for your help back in September 2021; it got me set up on the path to success. I have a couple of new questions. 1. Humidity issues - The air I'm breathing in has been feeling less humid even though I have it on the highest humidity sett...

Pugsy - Thank you for your post. I will watch those videos!

palerider - Thank you for passing along the info from the knowledgeable sleep center manager. Would you like me to upload a more detailed view of the breathing?

GrumpyHere - Thank you so much for the tip! I have fixed it. I will keep that in mind for future posts.

Hi everybody. Thank you all again for your help last night. I feel so much less anxious now about my future with APAP. I have a few questions & updates. When I get my new machine, will I need to use a new SD card or can I continue using the same one? The SD card is my property & there's plenty of sp...

palerider - Thank you *so much* for all of your responses. I have received more useful information in a few hours on this site today than I have in weeks elsewhere. I am so sorry to hear about your brother. That is terrible. I truly hate when people are killed by the failure of people and places tha...

Pugsy, thank you so much for sending me those links!!! I hope to buy the brand new one; I sent a few questions to the seller (for chemical allergy reasons). I cannot believe I might get to save $450 on a brand new APAP just due to the sheer luck of joining CPAPtalk.com today. THANK YOU.

I am very interested in this! Sent a message. Just wanted to post here as well in case that is needed for "first dibs" reasons.

Pugsy - Thank you very much for your response. I really appreciate the additional info about the ASV study. I will try out PR's ideas. Do you all think it would be wise for me to buy my own APAP (Airsense 10 Autoset) at this time? The reason I'm in a bit of a decision-making crunch is that since Sep...

Also, I am gathering it will likely take some time to try various settings with the APAP before I would know if I need to upgrade to ASV. Is that true? If so, what are all the things I would need to try with APAP before I could "rule it out" as a machine that will work for me? For example, would I n...

Thank you, Julie. That makes sense.

Do you (and palerider) think it'd be better to first:
a) keep minimum the same (at 8 ) and move the maximum up (to 20)
or
b) move minimum up to 9 and keep maximum the same (12)
or
c) something else?

palerider, thank you for both of your comments! All of this makes sense. I appreciate the road speed limit metaphor & also your comment about ignorance. For "hard to tolerate" what I meant is I wake up--no stomach pain--and I thought the reason I was waking up was the increased pressure causing my m...

Julie and palerider, thank you for your responses. It seems my doctor was wrong which is unsurprising. She was extremely unhelpful and is not my doctor anymore anyway, due to insurance changing. Then the people at Apnea Board said to set it as min 8, max 12 which made me more confused. palerider, do...

Palerider, thank you for your response and suggestion. The other forum was Apnea Board. For me it is hard to tolerate pressures above 10 or so; I am often awakened due to discomfort when the pressure is 11-13. Even when my max was set at 16, the max pressure my machine ever got to when I was using i...

Hi everyone. I am new here. I have about 1 week to decide whether I am going to buy the same APAP machine I currently have - ResMed Airsense 10 Autoset - or whether I should pursue an ASV prescription. My question for you all is: based on the info provided below, is it likely APAP will work for me l...
