Resmed s10 question

I have mild to moderate apnea. My current machine is an s9 auotset. I just started with a mew sleep dr in our new state and she said I am eligible for a new machine. She ordered a Resmed s10 (but not autoset). Can anyone give me input on the basic s10 vs the autoset (elite)? Is the autoset necessary...

Re: I'm pretty excited

Last night I keot it on for 8 hours. I woke up several times when the mask moved and started leaking but I didn’t take it off. I am tired today though from waking up so often.

Re: I'm pretty excited

Thanks you guys. This is just the first time that I have had real hope of this working for me. I’m crossing my fingers that it just keeps getting better :)

I'm pretty excited

I might be jumping the gun but I finally...finally...feel some hope that I can adjust to CPAP! I was diagnosed about 5 years ago while also going through some thyroid issues. I have tried and tried to adjust to using CPAP and just couldn't do it. I could not get past feeling like I was suffocating. ...

Re: How many of you snored as a kid?

I did. As long as I can remember. Even as young as 8 or 9. In high school I was embarrassed to sleep over friends' houses and in college my poor roomate slept with a stuffed animal over her head. Back then I'd never heard the word apnea.

Re: Weird sensation breathing in

Thank you for the replies! I will definitely check the filter. I'm not sure what to do if I need to take it to my provider. They are in Texas but I moved to NC. Hopefully, its the filter :wink: Yes, those are my pugs. Or were. My boy (the bigger one) passed away. It was heartbreaking. But now we hav...

Weird sensation breathing in

Hi all! I was on here a few years ago but never got used to my machine and fell off the wagon. But I am extremely motivated to try again. Today I set up my machine and settled in for a practice and I had a weird sensation, that as soon as it happened I remembered this is what drove me nuts before. S...

Re: Terrific Sleep Therapy Book

Thank you for the review. I started the book and just couldn't get into it. You've convinced me to give it another try. I didn't stick with it long enough. I was still in the boring part, lol.

Re: "Minimal contact" mask recommendations

I have the Sleepweaver Elan and I want to love it but I just can't get the placement right and there are too many leaks/air blowing into my eyes. I know there are others, though, who really do love it.

some good news

Sorry I've been so out of the loop lately. I went to Arizona for my nephew's graduation (and family time). Just got back this week. Today I went to find out the results of my first blood work after starting the meds for Graves. Things are improving! I'm so happy. I'm tolerating the medication well. ...
