Re: Silly Question, with Pressure...
Thank you for the feedback...I'm not flying by the seat of my pants by any means jim! I use sleepy head to monitor whats happening during the night, and then most importantly, evaluate how i'm feeling and what changes I notice in myself....Even though my data shows that my sleep looks really good, I...

Silly Question, with Pressure...
I have been trying to dial in my pressure.....I prefer to set a constant pressure.....And while this may be a silly question, forgive me, but can setting to high of a pressure actually be more harmful than beneficial....

Reducing EPR
So, I keep a steady pressure of 11.2 but I have been using EPR at level 2....not really for comfort but for aerophagia......but I have it under control thru other discoveries etc.....I would like to stop using EPR....I just think it makes for better therapy with a constant air pressure.....My silly ...

Cub4, your are right sir......I was using the nuance pro for a while...I really like it....simple system, with ease of air reaching where it needs to.....I just got tired of moving hose back and forth when switching sides.....switched to the dreamwear.....love the setup, and love sleeping with it......

Weird Smell, Maybe Due to The Machine
This may be nothing, but just curious if anyone has had any issues with their machine, that they noticed an odd order......This may have nothing to due with the machine, but it is quite odd.....I noticed yesterday, this weird, maybe somewhat chemical in order smell hanging with me all day and now to...

Resperonics Dreamwear Gel Pillow users
So, I have been using the nuance pro gel....And while it works pretty well, I still find its a bit easy to get leaks......I have, but have not used yet, the dreamwear gel pillow....I like the way it fits, the hose up top is great idea, I find that leaks could easily be reduced....My reservations are...

Re: Narrow Nasal Passages - getting desparate
In my experience, a major component at this stage is inflammation.....I have dealt with mild nasal passage problems while on C Pap....sometimes one nostril can just totally close up.....sometimes excessive humidity from the machine can make things worse, along with warmer air.....bottom line, you ar...

Re: So I'm Still Struggling With
Pugsy, I do have response in my menu....it offers soft or standard I believe.....what is this..... Also, I guess call me carzy, but when epr is on, I can tell a difference on positive pressure......meaning it does not feel the same pressure output in positive pressure.....But your right, sleeping th...

Re: So I'm Still Struggling With
Oops sorry....pressure settings are 6.6 to 9.2 or 9.4 range.....I just have found that the upper pressure range seem to be the mark that gave me effective treatment.....but have been backing down the upper range from that 9.2 to 8.8 to try and help the aerophagia is all.....if it wasn't for that, I ...

So I'm Still Struggling With
Aerophagia......its been about 45 to 60 days....in this process, I have at least found out what my sweet spot for air pressure is.....between 9.2 and 9.4 seems to be the range that I can get proper treatment......problem is, bad aerophagia.....I have tried reducing the pressure to see if I can beat ...

Re: Nuance Gel vs Dream wear Gel
I tried the dreamwear gel the last couple nights.....I do like the fit of the gear, like the hose behind me, and it does fit more securely on the nose with less potential of leaks.....I will say, air flow does not feel as strong, due to the air going thru the head gear.....I can tell in the beginnin...
