Re: Where do you put your machine?
On the hardwood floor and slid under the bed out of sight and out of the way. Can still reach the on off button and the room does not light up with the glow of the screen.

Re: Got my new autosense 10
The link to open the ResMed AirSense 10 machines to unplug the modem. /viewtopic/t104578/Semipermanently-disabling-modem-in-ResMed-Airsense-10.html?hilit=disable+modem+resmed I might have missed this step but cover the end of the disconnected wire connection with electrical tape. Murphy's law reducer.

Re: Sound sleep flowchart cont…..
I have not helped enough CPAP users to comment if the flowchart is good or bad. However, there seems to be more to this thread than the flowchart. Something I noticed with myself was once CPAP therapy began working on my mind and body was I suddenly had all these ideas and the energy to carry them b...

Re: Buying used machines?
Honestly......I made the decision to just buy "used". Yesterday I drove 2 hours to pick up a brand new resmed airsense 10 autoset. A woman with an insurance that fully covered her machine had decided that she wasnt even going to try the machine for a single night There are two possible problems her...

Oh, now I get it, I now see where I made mistakes in wording statements incorrectly and not quoting them properly to the previous post.

Re: How come you can buy a CPAP mask on-line w/out script?
Maybe some very smart people on this forum makes it seem like fitting a mask and using an auto cpap is so easy that nothing life threatening could possibly go wrong. By the way, I cringe at these threads and posts about buying this here over there without a prescription It's only air. What diabetic...

Re: How come you can buy a CPAP mask on-line w/out script?
The FDA is worried, let's say for instance a person buys the wrong size or type of mask, it leaks. The CPAP machine can't sense the events properly and the user ends up with a stroke or worse, succumbs to apnea. :roll: After the plethora of people that have reported that their DME slapped the wrong...

Re: How come you can buy a CPAP mask on-line w/out script?
This is silly, It's not because they are worried people will start huffing CPAP masks. The FDA is worried, let's say for instance a person buys the wrong size or type of mask, it leaks. The CPAP machine can't sense the events properly and the user ends up with a stroke or worse, succumbs to apnea.

Re: AirFit F10 vs. F20 for Her
I believe we all have had mask issues, especially when starting out. Some masks don't work out, I got rid of one that I could never figure out. Check if your machine has a mask fitting setting. Spend time during the day laying down in bed with this setting on and adjust your F20. Can't tell you more...

Re: Complete Frustration
What is it about the Amara View that does not work if you toss and turn? How is your bed uncomfortable? Sagging, too firm? I understand you are heavy. Bipolar symptoms may become less severe with improved CPAP therapy and longer sleep time. I toss and turn as well, this morning when the alarm went o...

Re: unsure about how to do this
The advice about not focusing on your breathing really helped. also I found a scripture that said "He (God) gives sleep to those he loves" and I used that to fall asleep. Thanks again. God Bless. I am glad you found sleep with help in the power of your faith. CPAP is a mere tool to keep the airway ...

Re: Moral dilemma, buy their unused CPAP or send them here for help.
I bought it. This sale was different from other classified CPAP supply purchases. From the initial phone call to the sale, I noticed a hint of powerlessness over sleep apnea. Other purchases were strictly a business transaction. Leaving with the machine was difficult because they mentioned being tir...

Moral dilemma, buy their unused CPAP or send them here for help.
I search online classifieds for a used CPAP machine. Quite often the seller states used a couple of weeks. While inquiring about this one advertisement for a 2017 autoset they mentioned overcome with severe bloating so they said, "I can't use it." Do I have a moral obligation to decline the purchase...
