Re: bjhunt01 therapy help thread

The differences between 10.2 and 11 aren't much. laddie, you know i love you. but you and others on this forum say that from time to time. and for some of us, that just isn't true. particularly when we are brand new. at least, i know it was for me. it was one of my biggest stumbling blocks in the e...

Re: SmartStart Feature autostop not working

I took the mask off and put it back on and it was still blowing too hard It only "blows hard" when the mask is off, because the poor thing is trying to pressurize your entire room, instead of the small space between the mask and your face. As soon as you put the mask on, it *immediately* goes back ...

Re: Do asv machines eliminate centrals?

I'm far from and expert only been on therapy for the past 6 weeks...... I was diagnosed with severe complex apnea and perscribed an ASV machine. I have seen an AHI score of .9-2.6 on my machine down from an average of 60 combined without, so it would seem it seems to be doing the job. Haven't felt ...

Re: Look Closely

I tried this once prior to my Sleep Apnea diagnosis (which puts it in a year beginning with a 1). I had to take it off in the first few minutes, due to not being able to tolerate the glue. Waves a tube of glue at DH Could this be an effective DH repellent? headshake.gif now,now...be nice.

They also do want one where the permanently attached cord is frayed, or that is not in proper working condition.

See post above. Quit panicking. Post charts. Get informed help. :) JPB :lol: :lol: why are you telling dogslobber ...

Re: Newbie - Oscar uploads

Hi Zonker, I have watched a lot of YouTube videos as that is the only way I could ever have figured no out my machine. It was a serious undertaking. It wasn’t until I pulled the SD card out and put it back in that I could even pull up the preheat on the humidifier and other features. Weird. Yes, I ...

Re: Frankenstein Mask...

I am very happy to report that I've been using the FrankenMask since I posted here and it had solved ALL of my fit issues. I liked the P10, but I would dislodge it frequently and wake up. I liked the Brevida mask very much because its squishy seal stays put better for me, but the F&P headgear is aw...
