Good news from the sleep guy and bought machine

[Twentysix]

Just been back to the sleep guy and the readout said my AHI was lower than 1 every night (from >25 in NREM and 53 in REM) and absolutely no leaks in the last 2 weeks. That sounds good to me, so I purchased the exact same setup in the hope that that burst of energy is to follow somewhere during the coming months.
By the way, was a bit miffed they had not told me the humidifier is not part of the machine and needs to be purchased separately, because it is not really usable without (not for me anyway). Keep fingers crossed it will last years and years, and I will actually make it to a 100, as I've planned.

you have a great machine... and yes, darn it, that humidifier is extra, and the climate line hose, but get it for the winter, you will love it!

good news about your ahi, and hope you are feeling great with your new set up!

That's FANTASTIC news!

Well, it often takes weeks if not months if you have been sleeping poorly for a long time. But it does come.

... By the way, was a bit miffed they had not told me the humidifier is not part of the machine and needs to be purchased separately, because it is not really usable without (not for me anyway). ...

Yeouch! Painful when the tell you the tires are extra, isn't it? I doubt they "intend" to be deceptive. The good news is that I hear VERY good things about the S9 and its humidifer.

... Keep fingers crossed it will last years and years, and I will actually make it to a 100, as I've planned.

I had one that lasted about 18 years! Most last at least five years. Many last 10 years without problems. And from what I've seen of user reports on the S9, it appears it should do a great job of lasting for you.

Now, may your dream of dreams become your norm! Best wishes as you proceed forward on this new Journey.
