Re: side sleeping

You know I think my mask leaking is worse when I sleep on my back which doesn't make any sense. It may be coincidental but when I had pretty bad pre-surgical pain in October as I was due for surgery November 17th, I slept on the recliner from the middle of October to the middle of January and my AHI...

Lots has happed with AC11 & Sleeping

Monday night I went to sleep at 12:45 and woke up. So I started breathing in and nothing's coming it's into my nose. So I looked at the machine and tried to read it, which is not very easy when you first wake up even with my glasses on because the screen is not the greatest screen. It's not backlit ...

Graphs

I tried to send the results pages from the last three nights but I don't know if the system has the power anymore to do that. I think some place it said that my percentage of time above the acceptable leak rate was something like 25%. I don't know if that is an acceptable amount. I looked back at so...

Re: First night with the air curve 11

Morning May 27 After fixing the sleeves on the p30i I woke up this morning feeling completely different. When I did the mask test yesterday it was fine and then a second later it said they were a problem. Then I pulled up those sleeves and it was fine. I just did it now after I slept and it was fine...

Re: First night with the air curve 11

Emerita, Let me try to grasp this. What is the purpose of the 95% rate if your leak rate is 15L all night except for 6 seconds when it hit 50? But I do understand if the 95% leak rate is 15L then all is well. So seeing that 50L can be useless and misleading, yes? Would it be better to give the avera...

Re: OT insomnia

I had very bad back pain leading to cervical spine surgery and I slept in a recliner for I thought it was 2 months but I think it was 3 months like from October 15th to January 15th. So to kill the pain before the surgery I had painkillers and took a med pack but sleeping wasn't so easy so I asked t...

Re: Airsense 11 Water Leak

I just got the air curve 11 and I have no leaks and I didn't even have any leaks when I took the ac11 off the headboard cabinet which is behind my bed obviously to change some of the settings. So was resting on a pillow, turned it to the side, it was rotated up to a 90° angle and nothing came out. T...

Re: First night with the air curve 11

Second night results. Two interesting things discovered. One my machine wasn't set up for a VPAP it was set up for an S so that was Friday's results. I don't know why it wasn't said for every pap and I don't know why nobody asked me but once again I think the RT did it because the prescription had n...

Re: First night with the air curve 11

Miss Emerita, Thanks for your reply! I'm writing this on a note app because I keep writing all these postings and somehow I do something to make it go away. I'm seeing my doctor on Wednesday so I'll wait till then about the Zolpidem. The menu system is a little different on the AC 11. You do the two...

Re: AirCurve 11s are in But

I picked up my aircurve 11 this afternoon. Patrick said to me you don't have a heated tube you had an S9 so you have to use this one. I'll have to remember when I get the call for the supplies order to tell them I need the heated tube and the filters that go with the air curve 11 and to change the m...

Re: AirCurve 11s are in But

Here is a ridiculous situation. My air curve 11 is in and I'm picking it up on Friday. I can't get the heated tube for 3 more months because I had an S9 which had no heateed tube and I just got a plastic tube a week or so ago. So the RT was the one who told me this. I assumed they came with a heated...

I went to send this and of course I got that message saying that you can connect and then whatever I wrote was gone. I'll save it first this time. I keep forgetting this happens here. So I watched the video and the RTS were sending back the airsense 11 and they're coming back with the message saying...

Re: AirCurve 11s are in But

2 of 2 As far as the reviews, did you look at the reviews for Apria? There isn't one good review on apria and I remember back when the local DMF company that I used in Mineola New York, for those of you who used to live there was great DME and then after Apria took it over and it stunk and they were...
