Initially I went the insurance route. My deductible is so high that I ended up paying more (the machine itself was $1800) than if I just payed out of pocket. For example: for a new mask replacement, the DME charges $120, insurance adjusts it down to $59 but I can get the same thing on Amazon for $21...

Thanks everyone for your input. Sorry I have been silent for the last couple weeks. Just recovering from influenza B and an asthma exacerbation, haven't felt like staring at a computer screen much. So to answer a few questions: Wulfman: Why do I use APAP: My initial prescription was for a fixed pres...

I have had similar experience but not quite so extravagant. I increased my minimum pressure to 12 and max press to 20 (from 8-11). Doing so got rid of the clumps of ca that I was having and lowered my AHI. Looking at your settings it appears that your minimum pressure is to low. If you are inclined ...

How's the nose been??? Experiencing much nasal congestion at all? Congested quite a bit...use a full mask so I can breathe when congested. That old A10 ResMed algorithm was discontinued with the release of the S9 models. The auto adjusting algorithm was reworked once it was discovered that centrals...

How's the nose been??? Experiencing much nasal congestion at all? My nose is congested off and on quite a bit...use a full face mask because I get congested easily. That old A10 ResMed algorithm was discontinued with the release of the S9 models. The auto adjusting algorithm was reworked once it wa...

If the changing pressures are bothering you, you could try a fixed pressure at 15 and see how that affects your sleep and your AHI. Go into the settings and change from Autoset to CPAP and put in a pressure of 15. The changing pressure does not bother me except when it causes a mask leak (minimal p...

How reliable are the sleep study results considering it was the worst night of sleep in my life? Not very reliable, you might not have gone into REM, and for many people, REM sleep needs more pressure. I am concerned with what happens if my max pressure goes past 20 (machine max). If that happens, ...

I am using oscar to review my data, should have mentioned in original post. I will post charts later when I am able. For the most part, flow limitations with occasional apnea events, are driving pressure up with or without EPR at 3. It is worse without EPR. Yes I am sleeping when pressure increases ...

First post here...thanks for adding me. I have been on cpap for almost one year. Started with Dreamstation but switched to Resmed 10 in July. My prescribed pressure on apap is 8-11. Is it normal to have max pressure increase over time? For the first month or so the pressure stayed between 8 and 11. ...
