VirtuOx, AC11, F20 and Contour apnea mask

[alancalan]

The only thing I left out is I lost about 50 lb on Ozempic, And one night I fell asleep without the machine and I had the best night of sleep that I've had in a long time. Everybody was right and I was wrong to go with the Air Curvie 11 because it leaks and it shuts off when it senses its own leak. What is better is is difficult as it is to read this in the middle of the night It's far superior to the panel on the air curve 10. My internist, who probably is on this site, because he's very up on things and a good guy, and a very good doctor actually suggested that since I had such a good night sleep maybe I'm better off with CPAP instead of a Bypap. Getting the BiPAP was the result of my not being able to sleep in my first sleep study in 2003 and I ended up getting a Sullivan bypass with a 12 and 8 sitting, which was just a guess by the doctor.

I forgot to mention to him that the air curve 11 could be a CPAP for trial purposes. He's not a sleep doctor So he might not know that although I bet he does. He himself has the air sense 10.

So my doctor suggested with losing all that weight and the pleasant nights of sleep without the use of the machine, maybe I should do another sleep study. Of course I began pissing and moaning cuz I hate those things but then he told me that this Virtue OX is just a ring that goes around your finger. After hearing about that really good night of sleep and a couple other nights when I fell asleep with the mask on but the tube wasn't connected to anything It seems like the right thing to do. I think the problem is the AC 11 sucks and it's body is not matching well with the water chamber.

It's hard to believe That wristband had almost 10 years to work on the air curve 11 and they came out with a pretty shitty machine and they still can't figure out how to fix it. They realize there's an issue with water the chamber But my DME says they're trying but they haven't been successful yet. Resmed had its head up its ass when COVID came and they just went nuts building ventilators.

Everyone said that you have to attach the water chamber firmly But that should have been a red flag. Maybe it was some of you but I have been waiting for this machine for 10 years and I was just blinded by but I thought Resmed was capable of and maybe it wasn't so great in that effort. How do you know how firm you can be especially over time and maybe something cracked.

Friend of mine he's got the Air Sense 10. And he's starting to do well with his F20 because he got that Contour mask pillow and he's a side sleeper. I was a side sleeper too But I switch because I thought I did better on my back and maybe that was true with the S9 but it's not true with the air curve 11. So I haven't really had an easy time and getting that effort of 11 was a stupid mistake on my part and I should have listened to all of you You said stay away from it but did you really know about the air leaking because the water container is not seated properly. I think people will complaining about the wrong things and maybe that was the problem although I don't really remember.

Any comments about anything including the VirtuOz sleep study which is just a ring that fits around your finger and how the hell that is able to figure out all the information that needs to is beyond me. Maybe I'll have Gemini explain it. The VirtuOX sleep study was in the top subject listing but it seems to be missing now.
