Re: CPAP Basics - 26 - Clinical Manuals

at the risk of being a spoil-sport in this wonderful effort.... Are there are legal ramifications to posting these manuals that the Goodman's needs to sign off on?

Re: I contacted all of the forum administrators...

+1,0000 There aren't any administrators you are expected to put on you big girl panties and act like an adult and if you keep on annoying the owners they will in all likelihood shut the forum down. They can't be bothered to play "mommy" to a bunch of entitled whiny brats who don't know a good thing ...

Re: Good AHI - Mask Leaks Still Important?

-just to add to Pugsy's awesome input... it also depends on how long those large leaks last.

I quite often see a leak spike out at 60-80 that last less than 60 seconds. These "positional" leaks come from my sleeping on my back and when I roll to my side, the leaks are gone.

Re: Behavior in this Forum

after the 1st few good comments about a new mask, it will be inundated with "the one I have used for XX years works much better & I rarely clean it" Threads like this get 185 comments. Important ("relevant") stuff (like the appearance of the new Amara View mask) get 13. The Mob rules... that's becau...

Re: Persistent Mask Line Redness (Even after pad-a-cheek)

while at your dermatologist, mention the concoction of ointments that you have used... My bet is one of them or possibly a combination may have caused your issues. It's also possible that whatever you used to wash the pad-a-cheek liners may not have rinsed out completely and caused your issues pad-a...

Re: mask leakage

I used the Simplus when it first came out and could never solve leak issues. FWIW-- I had the same issues with the Quattro Air when it came out. I also have high pressure settings... The Resmed Quattro has worked awesome for me for almost 3 years now. I am currently using RESMED Air Curve 10 VAUTO, ...

Re: Padacheek mask liner and cleaning?

I can go about 3-4 days between washings of my pad-a-cheek liners.... The frequency of cleaning depends on facial oils, weather (hot humid nights), drool factor, etc... I hand wash them in the bathroom sink with some unscented soap or shampoo. Pad-a-cheek liners can be washed in the washing machine....

Re: Best online sites to purchase supplies?

Simple... I can't afford out of pocket expenses like complete masks or machines. So, I need to make sure my insurance coverage stays active. E-bay.... I recently bought 3 mirage Quattro cushions sealed in original bags for $30 with free shipping. if purchased from usual on-line sellers, they run $50...
