Second night with Swift and REMstar auto

Made a few adjustments after that first night. Switched hose connection over to the side OPPOSITE of the side I lay on. MUCH better. And after reaing the thread about noisy Swift.... I have to believe it's a pressure related thing. My static pressure is 8. My auto is set to 6-12 and my wife woke up and actually thought I had fallen asleep without my equipment on. It wasn't until she leaned over and SAW it on me that she realized I was using it. She said my breathing sounds a lot more natural.

So... the c-flex feels wonderful (I have it on 2), the heated humidifier is GREAT (I have it on 3 with no sign of rainout yet, but it's been unseasonably warm the last few days and the room isn't very cool at night...we'll see), and the Swift is the best thing that's happened for me since I started CPAP 5 years ago.

So... a big THANK YOU to all of you who put up with all my questions and kinda helped me make the right decision on equipment. I wish I had started this way 5 years ago.

Great news Yardbird! All the research you did has certainly paid off. It's so good to hear success stories and yours is one of them!

It is sure a pressure thing for the noise. I am at 11 and I feel it is slightly loud, but I put my ramp at 8 and when I hit that it goes pretty quiet, so it is a only a few difference that can cause it to go from quiet to breezy.

WTG, Yardbird. Sounds like you found a great combination (it's what I used to use, changing off with the Aura, too).
