Re: Which mask to ask for?

This is the mask I wear 99% of the time. My favorite & I have 5 different masks. A Dreamwear Nasal Cushion Mask. Air tube attaches to the top of headgear on top of your head so it's not in the way. And just a cushion under your nose. Nothing going into your nose...

Re: Not using any water...

Thank You Pugsy! ah ha, I've had rainout! Very annoying! And now that I think about it when I was using more water was when the heater was on high! And that's also when I was getting congested! Thanks again, Bill

Re: Not using any water...

Thank You Julie & LSAT! Ok, now I see. I live up on a bluff & although I can see the ocean it's still aways away. But, everything rusts like crazy so it's humid. I found the controls for Climate Control Auto & Tube Temperature. I didn't even think of the setting 'Climate Control' controlling humidit...

Not using any water...

My cpap machine isn't using any water & I can't find a setting to see if there's an on/off switch... I went into the clinical menu too. Unless there's a setting that I don't understand I
saw nothing about turning water on/off... Is the machine broken? Thank You! Bill

Re: Does waking time with mask on distort readings?

At first I wore my mask when I was awake in order to get my compliance time in. I was having trouble sleeping all night with it on... My sleep therapist even said I could wear it when I was awake to get used to it.... DH mentioned that so many people just put their machine in moth balls that you sho...

Re: Help with VA rating

May I ask how sleep apnea is service related? I don't understand how it can be service connected. I don't understand why the government/taxpaper would pay for something not service connected. Perhaps there is a logical explanation for sleep apnea to be connected to military service that I haven't t...

Re: Help with VA rating

Ok, so they told you that you were service connected? So you must have already turned in a claim? They should have given you a % rating when they said you were service connected. Didn't they?

Re: Respironics DreamWear under the nose mask

This is my favorite mask! Although I switch back & forth between 3 different masks. The Res-Med F10, Res-Med N20 & the Dreamwear nasal cushion. I switch back & forth because using only one mask irritates my face. My machine was set to start at 4 & ramp up to 7 over a 20 minute time frame. I shut off...

I'm really new at this but one of my masks is a Res Med F10 & I like it... I read where it's lighter than most... I rotate between a FF, Nose & Nasal...

Re: Best CPAP cleaning machine?

LOL... Ok, next question; What's better a Ford or a Chevy? Honestly i had no idea they didn't work! I'll just have to use the good old fashion way. Wash by hand... I was wondering about the wipes though. I'll get some of those... And maybe a dryer... Thank You Everyone! Bill

Re: Should I get a heated extension?

Thank You for all the replies! :) ... No, I don't need a 12' hose. Just one a little longer so I can hang it on the wall over my bed when I use the Dreamwear Nasal Pillow. Pugsy, I just ordered the one you posted the link for. I think it's like the one you recommended for my FF mask. Just a differen...

Should I get a heated extension?

Hi Everyone, I want to get an extension so my hose is longer. I have a Res Med Air Sense 10 which I think has a heated hose. Should I get another hose exactly like the one I have on my machine ($32) or can I just get a regular hose ($5). I don't mind spending more just want to get the right one... I...
