My Freedom V2 batteries are brand new bought specifically because our older ResBatt C100 batteries are not compatible with our (relatively) new AirCurve 10 machines or our replacement PR Dreamstations. (A special cord that we bought allows the older batteries to work with the DreamStations; so we're...

I can tell you that on my 4 night camping trip this week my pair of Freedom V2 batteries worked great at providing all night power to my Resmed AirCurve 10. With two batteries hooked together I had plenty of power for 2 nights in a row, and I could likely have gotten a third night out of them withou...

How often do you lose power? I think the answer to that will go a long way towards answering your question. The user manual that comes with the Freedom V2 battery says that the battery can be plugged into the wall and the machine can then be plugged into the battery. The manual does not indicate tha...

Oh, I did not think that high leak rates flag apneas. I thought if leak rates are too high that I would actually get more OAs, Hypopneas, etc., that the machine would flag. My thinking was that the machine can't provide sufficient pressure if leaks are too high to treat the apneas. The problem with...

Having camped multiple times with a CPAP/BiPAP in tow and having just returned from a 4 night camping trip at Watkins Glen NY, I'll offer this advice/idea: Specialized CPAP batteries are worth the price. These batteries are much, much smaller than Die Hards, lightweight, and they're specifically des...

Also, one more question for you as you seem as if you struggled initially too maybe not as much as I but I do feel a connection. How open do you feel you can be with your doctors and how much do you trust them? With the help of a very good psychiatrist, I've learned to be willing to fire doctors wh...

I freak Everytime I gain a pound and I way daily. When I'm down my stress goes away. I just need to know the basics and when to freak and when not to freak. That's something that I think you should work with a CBT therapist on: Stressing out over small details whether it be your weight or (once you...

I'm on a camping vacation right now. But my husband and I are sitting in a coffee shop this morning and I thought I'd check cpaptalk.com to "catch up" You write: Thanks for the information. I would love to hear what you used for a morning journal. The goal is to keep it simple . Use a spreadsheet or...

I have been reading through posts here and feel overwhelmed. Anyways I am wondering how accurate the Oscar or any data collection programs are. There are two main pieces of data that are worth analyzing in the Oscar reports: (1) Efficacy data (i.e. recorded apneas and hypopneas, along with the calc...

I am worried though because I have read research saying that CPAP can actually cause weight gain. So if that happens I'm screwed and will most likely look at surgery. I have undergone various surgeries before they don't frighten me. Has anyone had the machine cause weight gain here and if so what d...

I know how I feel about this and in all the research I have done even searches for behavioral therapists who work with sleep apnea people I can't find any. It is so frustrating. The psychologist I worked with was just a CBT guy. He didn't have any special training or knowledge per se of CPAP or sle...

alancalan, The leak numbers from the machine's Sleep Report display are 95% leak rates. In other words, when the machine says Leak 38 L/min , that means that for 95% of the night your leak rate was at or below a rate of 38 L/min. Having the 95% Leak rate increase from 38 L/min to 40 L/min is not rea...

Thanks! Much easier. Here is my link. Thanks for the tip on a new motor. I still have the unit, so maybe I'll look into replacing it. Then, I will have a spare. https://sleephq.com/public/ab577243-48c1-4324-b811-605d830597e4 Questions and comments: 1) Is this night typical for your usual bedtime an...

Also because of shame and embarrassment. I already have bought storage for the device so I can hide it until dark. I am married and don't want him or anyone including myself to see me with it on. Remember I know there are benefits. I believe I need some deep psychology and behavioral therapy to get...

My "tricks" include: 1) Not going to bed until I'm actually sleepy---lying in bed awake typically makes things worse for me. If I don't fall asleep in a reasonable amount of time (15 minutes or so), I have to debate whether it is better to get up and do something relaxing until I feel sleep or wheth...
