Re: more newbie questions
Thanks. Had a thought. Nerve pain flares take awhile to settle down. Sometimes days. Maybe should not try mask again until I have OSCAR working? Not sure I know what OSCAR does, actually.

more newbie questions
Gave this thread a more generic title so I can ask different kinds of questions as they come up. Backstory: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome causes pain syndromes including hands and face. Pardon telegraphic sentences. Hand pain flare-up. After many masks, settled on Bleep. Only one that does not put pressure...

Re: confused by my airsense autoset 11 machine
Be sure to keep the SD in the machine at all times, except when getting data from it to the computer. The machine uses the SD card to record info in real time. When the card is not inserted, the necessary data from your sleep time gets lost. Will do! And how do I get the info onto the computer? I h...

Re: confused by my airsense autoset 11 machine
Ah yes, the dreaded Oscar. I am totally techno-hopeless these days. For the less technically inclined, a free account at https://home.sleephq.com/ can be very helpful. You can post the links to your data in this thread. An SD card is still needed. A generic card not bigger than 32 GB will work. Exa...

Re: confused by my airsense autoset 11 machine
Yes....most definitely could look like a central apnea at least to the machine. The machine only measures air flow/breathing and awake breathing easily confuses the machine. It has no way at all to know if you are awake or asleep. The machine will NOT increase the pressure at all in an effort to de...

Re: confused by my airsense autoset 11 machine
What is ramp time and why does my machine never ramp up? I have not used it a long time, max about 2 hours. But it has never ramped up. It is always at 4. Are you saying you've only used the machine for 2 hours when you were awake, and could see it's at the same pressure? The machine will raise its...

Re: confused by my airsense autoset 11 machine
I found my pressure range is 4 to 20. So, the autoset thing means it ramps up to 4 and senses when I need to go higher? Is that right? Or does it start at 4 and ramp up to 20 during the ramp? Speaking of which, unless you're seriously ill or a gerbil 4 is very probably too low to do you any good. H...

Don't change settings willy-nilly. Ask for help in this thread.

Re: confused by my airsense autoset 11 machine
Without knowing what your settings are right now it is impossible to hazard a guess as to why the machine isn't increasing the pressure. Do you have the clinical manual which explains things? https://media.resmed.com/sites/3/20210629212432/398230-AIRSENSE11-CG-AMER-ENG.pdf Perfect. I only have the ...

Is there a way to get back to the Welcome Screen? My daughter set this thing up for me, so I don't even know how I got to where I am now. Also, i...

Re: first night with Bleep
UPDATE: I tried wearing the eclipse halos around the house to see how they felt. They felt much better than the dreamport halos to me. I'm not sure why, but the deamports made the inside and outside of my nose itch even when I wasn't hooked up to the machine. I was struggling to see how long I could...

Re: first night with Bleep
Hey, Pugsy, I sent you a PM but it is sitting in my outbox. But it also says "sent." Did you get it? Private messages will sit in the outbox until the person you send it to has opened the PM and read it. This is how you know the person has read what you sent. I just now got home and just now read y...
