And, unlike the ASAA, we serve the WORLD-WIDE Internet, not just the US portion of CPAPers. Indeed. But we are a relatively loose band of users providing support to each other (and that is very valuable), whereas ASAA is an organized body with a mission to support patients and to lobby on their beh...

So how do we make sure Pugsy gets to speak there? First, I think we need to figure out how she gets there, to speak--so to speak! (sorry, I'm a bit giddy today) Pugsy, is this something you would consider participating in? Your experience and knowledge would be an asset to the discussions, I'm sure...

I found it took quite a bit of fiddling with the straps to get a balanced fit on my Wisp. Getting an even balance of the tension among the 4 straps was the key to reducing leaks, and not binding it too tight to the face, of course. Perseverance paid off though, and I am very happy with it. I don't u...

Hi, Jedimark,

Thank you for all your work producing and updating Sleepyhead. I use it, and it has helped me understand more clearly what is going on with my cpap treatment.

Hi and welcome to the forum!

Sorry, I don't have any technical info to help you, but likely other members will be along to steer you, and my post will bump yours to the top of board index again.

cheers,

Your equipment profile shows a Dreamstation 200 (single pressure) CPAP, but your comment says it's a 500 (auto adjusting) APAP unit, so that's all a little confusing. Is the APAP set to Fixed mode? In either case, your settings may not be optimized for your treatment. Please provide further specific...

Pugsy,

+1 to what jnk said so eloquently.
Take care of yourself.

Jean

I don't feel I can phone back a week later, admit that I'm not using the mask after all that, and then ask for another piece of equipment! :? You wouldn't necessarily have to talk about the mask when you phone back; say that you were distracted by all the masks at the fitting, and forgot to ask for...

I have agreed to change my username and am in the process of doing so.

Thank you.

User CPAPtalk said "I AM NOT AFFILIATED WITH NOR DO I REPRESENT THE FORUM CPAPtalk IN ANY WAY" Then please don't use the forum name as your own. What you perceive as a clever entitlement is being received here as disrespectful to the forum owner, not to mention confusing to other users. I, too, thou...

Don't know if you can tweet your machine, but would certainly like to hear what it sounds like if it is indeed possible. :lol: You can certainly tweak your machine.

There are a lot of bits, pieces, and moving parts in getting properly set up and comfortable with CPAP. It's an ongoing process, and I see you are persisting with problem-solving. Good on you!

Keep on keeping on,
Jean
