Hey LDuyer

My wife asked me the same question. I think it would be way to intense, metering it would be very difficult, Vick's at 10cm would make your head explode. hehehe

Hey Rested Gal I have the remstar-pro c-flex w/water. One of the theories I have is that my chest is very large (46") measured below the chest muscle and my lungs are probobly the size of watermellons.

Hi wttm I've tried most of the suggestions concerning comfort, it seems as though the mask is good for about four hours than discomfort sets in and my nostrils go ablaze. I wouldn't hesitate to use this mask for a nap, it's a great napping partner. I have only been on the pump for six nights now but...

Qualifacations for autopap?

What conditions have to be met to get your doctor to prescribe an autopap? I spoke to my dme and he said its up to the doctor. I really would rather have one of these machines so I can track my progress. Do I have to establish a condition other than my own piece of mind to get one of these? Thanks.

Mirage Swift help?

I need some help with my Swift otherwise it's soon become the newest chew toy for my dogs. I like the lightweight and open design, I really don't want to give up on it yet but I have a couple of issues with it: Noise, the sound during inhalation is annoying, I find it adds 10 to 15 minutes to my nor...

I would buy the biggest thermos I could find, fill it with coffee, take it on the train with you and drink it like its your job.

Well that settles that, the remstar pro cpap's gotta go. I really want to be able to see some info on my sleep performance. I'm still at the early stages of this (5 nites so far) and I think I can still make a case for getting an autopap machine. Thanks!

Remstar pro and software?

Is the encore pro software useable with the Remstar pro cpap or do I need the autopap machine to get the most out of it?

Suckin wind in the midwest!

Well, well, well.......off on another one of life's little journeys, at least I can still use the term life. They tell me my sleep is bad ( whats a few little time-outs gonna hurt?) I thought.
