Re: Possible to transfer data from Oscar to provider?
And now I find that they charge $300 for their "Care for Life" program -- $149 if you buy a mask. As if their mark-up on the equipment isn't enough! What a racket. Which DME is this? It's OK to reveal in this forum. Someone may have experience with them that can help you. BTW, is this DME in your i...

Re: Possible to transfer data from Oscar to provider?
The new provider asked me to have the previous one send my data to her, which was not done (and likely won't be done). I have data on Oscar (previously on Sleepyhead) dating back to 2017. If your new DME is competent, they have the software to read your compliance data off your SD card. They wouldn...

Re: Kind of scared, split sleep study again after almost 20 years on PAP
When I got my official diagnosis, "second sleep test" my doctor said it was “profoundly severe” obstructive sleep apnea. I’m not ok with spending any time “asleep” without the support of my machine so they can experiment. For insurance purposes, you need to make sure your diagnosis of sleep apnea s...

Re: AirFit F30i Leakage
at higher pressures (7+), the air starts to blow out of the bottom part of the mask that surrounds my mouth (it's just a soft flap of plastic and the air just starts pushing through that flap). The rest of the headgear is fairly tight already, so I'm not sure what more can be done to stop the leak....

Re: leaks! mask liners?
Will talk to my eye doc about Nasacort. She had me stop Flonase when I developed glaucoma and said that nasal steroids can be a cause. Good idea. Nasacort is a steroid and it is certainly possible to have steroid-associated intraocular pressure elevations from nasal steroids. Fortunately, most pati...

Okey-dokey.
Comments that address someone other than the OP should so indicate as this comment does.

You are comparing sound abatement foam (Philips - PE-PUR) with air filter foam (Lowenstein - polyester).

You want to see apneas in your report? Turn the machine mode to CPAP and the pressure to 4.0.

Re: Kind of scared, split sleep study again after almost 20 years on PAP
insurance formality, i'm setting up with a new sleep med provider. Who is telling you that a new study is required? Talk to your insurance company. This sounds like a trick by the new sleep doctor to get billings for his sleep lab. I will never do a new study. My doctor gives me a letter once per y...

Re: air is drying out my nose and I can't breathe!
1. If you fill your humidifier tank at bedtime, how much water remains in the morning?
2. Are you sure you are drinking sufficient water during the day? They say 64 oz. under normal conditions.
3. What is the climate in your area like? If you don't mind, which city?
