Swift FX dummie question

Here you go. You post the link..I can copy/paste the IMG addy.
It is large..there is more to see off the page...so right click on the image....choose "view image" and then the right side is not cut off.

(I just created an account at Photobucket hoping that it would display here - because Picpaste images do not.) EDIT: Dammit, it still does not display.

When you hover over your image in Photobucket, click on the IMG copy option, not the UIRL option.

The problem is that, whether getting the URL or the IMG link it says "copied," but then there is nothing in my clipboard. The only link I can get is to open the page displaying the image and copy and paste from the Firefox URL bar. Of course, that is the URL, not the IMG link. I also tried Opera, got the same results. After the Photobucket page says "copied" I also tried pasting into LibreOffice Writer, and there was nothing in the clipboard. I think there's something screwy with the flash on Photobucket. There are lots of flavors of flash. I have the latest, but who knows? I'd use Picpaste, but they don't have an IMG link option. Is there another place I could try?

That sounds like a Linux problem, which I can't solve. But you can work around the problem as follows: just copy the url off the url field at the top of your browser when on your image page in Photobucket, return to your Post a Reply screen in cpaptalk, place your cursor where you want it in the text of your reply, click the gray Img button at the top of the text box and then do a paste command at the point where cpaptalk automatically places the cursor between the start image and stop image brackets.

Where can I find that option and how should I set it for a ResMed machine in the Mac/SleepyHead 9.2.2?

Thanks, Nate

Nate...the quote points to me making that statement but I didn't...RobySue did.
So I was going to ignore it but then wanted to tell you that RobySue will need to tell you what she does.
I don't have a Mac.

But in the version I use...Under preferences...General tab...there is a section for customizing the average calculations to your preference.

Another thing with the Swift FX, do not tighten, keep it a bit loose. Believe it or not, the FX works much better loose.

OK, here is last night's data. I copied the URL from the URL bar in Firefox and pasted between the .:



I bet it does not show up. EDIT: Nope. All I can do it appears is paste the URL like this:

In Photobucket there is a little box with all the addresses in it . The bottom line is the IMG Code address.
Copy that line (not the url line) and paste it in your post and you will see this. That is just what I did now...went to your link that does work and copied the IMG address from the little box of addresses.
When you copy it and paste...the img brackets are included.

The problem is that there something screwy with the flash on the Photobucket site and/or the version of flash that I have on this computer. I have the latest flash, but when I click on the img link box it says "copied," yet nothing is copied to the clipboard. Ditto for any of the other boxes. They all say "copied" when I click on them, but they fail to send the link to the clipboard. And I can't select the text in the img box, all I can do is click on it. And I can't retype it manually because not all of it appears in the box. It's the "send the link to the user's clipboard on mouse-click" feature that fails.

However, I have another Linux computer at the university with Firefox and an earlier version of flash. The feature works perfectly there. So the problem is that my latest version of flash broke the Photobucket feature. But life's too short to spend more time worrying or kvetching about it.

No problem. Don't worry about the link...or the absence of the image. We can click on the link and see what we need to see.
If I happen to come along..I will fix it for you if you wish. It isn't a big deal.

Having the image in front of us when we are composing a response is easier than toggling back and forth but it isn't a huge problem.

OK, here is the data from last night:

http://s1260.photobucket.com/albums/ii5 ... 1618AM.png

Since starting CPAP 11 days ago I have felt worse every day than before I started. Last night I finally felt the same as before starting CPAP, so maybe I am finally getting somewhere. At this rate it may be a year before I get any benefits, but I'm still trying to get it working.

Last night I woke up about 2:50 to the sensation of another hurricane. Only this time it was blowing all over my face. I tried to fiddle with the mask to stop the leaks, but failed. I turned off the machine, turned on the light, and took the mask off. As I did so I noted that evidently I had put it on inside-out, upside-down and backwards. Or something. When I put it back on I made sure that the L was on the left side. Then I turned out the light and went back to sleep.

An hour later I woke up again and was amazed that there were no leaks at all. Then I realized that there were no leaks because there was no air. And then I discovered that after putting the mask back on I had forgotten to turn the machine back on. Evidenly my brain does not function when I am in bed. OK, maybe not other times either, but let's not go there.

The data for the rest of the night was pretty good. If I can get that all night long I might actually start getting some benefit from this.

Because I had a problem with the back strap on the Swift FX sliding up over my head, last night before going to bed I fashioned a chin strap out of 1/2 inch flexible fabric from the sewing department at a local store. I fastened it to the back strap just behind the ears with safety pins, making it just snug enough to work, without making it feel like it was choking me. It did a good job of holding the back strap in position.

I am hoping for better results tonight.

The pressure ranges that the APAP does in response to either the events or leaks (sometimes the machine will try to fix a leak with more pressure..which makes the leak worse...so more pressure ...and a nasty circle starts) can be disrupting for some people. You might talk to your doctor about narrowing the range of pressures. Your starting pressure is 4 cm and the change to 11, 12 or more can be disrupting for some people. A little more minimum and a reduction in maximum might make the leaks less of a problem...reduce the wild pressure fluctuations...get you better sleep that isn't broken up by leaks and mask pressures.

Actually, my minimum pressure is 5 cm, not 4 cm. But your point is still probably a good one.

I'm going to try again tonight to see if having the mask on properly from the beginning gives me better results. If I keep having leaks, higher pressure, greater leaks, and the same vicious cycle I'll try bumping the minimum up to 6 cm. and see if it helps. Can I change that on the machine myself, or is that something that the doc has to order the DME to change? I can't go see the doc until early May because insurance won't pay for it until then.

SleepyHead is reporting the 4 cm minimum...if you are using the ramp it will start at 4 and will scored that way in SH.

You can change the minimum. It is easy to do. Are you comfortable making a small change like that?
Some people are and some people aren't.
If your DME set the machine pressure via the SD card and Encore Pro...the change won't hold though.
SD card will over ride any manual changes you might make. So if you do want to change it...and it reverts back to previous setting on its own..that is why.

Do you know how to get into the provider/clinical menu setup area? Do you have the provider manual for your machine? It explains how to get into the clinical set up area. If you don't have it..send me a private message and I will send it to you. Wouldn't hurt to have it even if you don't feel comfortable changing things yourself. There are some terminology definitions in the manual that explain some of what you see on the reports.

Yes, what you describe is the way I always do it too. But that didn't work for him. That's why I suggested the workaround using the url bar in his browser. In FireFox/Mac, either method works for me, so I use the little box method too. But it didn't work for him.

Yep, I finally understood his problem when he explained it to me. No big deal. I can put the images in when I am here or anyone can really. Just copy the image location and insert it between the IMG brackets.
