Hi D.H.,
At the time, I was unable to change the machine from Cpap to Auto without the company - even going step by step with the manual. There should be no more problems though - the company finally made the change for me and I am on auto.

Re: Cpap + Diet - Smoking = Help!
Interesting facts and info. As for sugar, I have always let my system tell me when it needs it and much of the time I get mine from peanut butter and cheese, think it comes from living around diabetics most of my life. Having a video might help, but at this point now unnecessary. The machine is now ...

Re: Cpap + Diet - Smoking = Help!
Thank you LSAT, Those are the same documents that I read prior and still can not gain access to change to auto. Apparently my particular machine was set up without the Auto until the doctor prescribed I could have it - that is what they were adding last night, which they called and informed me will ...

Re: Cpap + Diet - Smoking = Help!
Wish I could answer the question, but the machine is locked from the inside. I have read everything (including articles recommended by this forum) that I can get my hands on to override this lock and change it myself, with different passcodes in articles, none of them work. I finally ended up callin...

Re: Cpap + Diet - Smoking = Help!
Thank you Pugsy - Yes, I know the 6 is ramp and 11 is a set pressure. I asked for the auto because the prescription was a year old when I received the machine (long story). I wasn't feeling like I was gaining any benefit, and definitely any more rest than before cpap, so the doc agreed I could go to...

Re: Cpap + Diet - Smoking = Help!
Thanks Julie - actually that is exactly what is going to happen. It just dawned on me that my new order in April was for AP 8-16, so I called to find out why it wasn't done. They are doing it now - so hopefully I will see some improvement starting tonight.

Re: Cpap + Diet - Smoking = Help!
I have no doubt - I have been washing walls - laundered just about everything in my closet - ready to tackle my car to rid it all of the smoke and nicotine. Anything to help. Yes I still smell it, but I also burn incense, which seems to keep my mind clear and focused elsewhere. Taste, diet has a lot...

Re: Cpap + Diet - Smoking = Help!
Thanks ladies! I have added some water in my diet plan and I have a great friend that has been supporting me through the entire process. For the really bad cravings, I have found Twizzlers Orange Creme Licorice to be exactly the "fix" I need and it works! For now, when I'm stressing, especially at w...

Re: Cpap + Diet - Smoking = Help!
Hi Pugsy, I have gone 0 to about 4 every night, one night was 6 and last night was 4. I can share the report in a little bit when I get to my desk, out in the public eye right now. I wouldn't say I am waking more often, but definitely earlier, minimum 60-90 minutes earlier than before. Normal wake t...

Cpap + Diet - Smoking = Help!
Hey y'all! Haven't been around for a few weeks - was actually getting along with my Cpap. We have an agreement, I keep Mr C surrounded in large soft fluffy pillows and he agrees to not strangle me - been working great. He understands he gets 90% of my attention and I keep the other 10. We have been ...

Re: Backwards
Thanks Pugsy - Will try that - have to play with the minimum because even the 5 is uncomfortable at the start. I thought I might try 6 first and maybe cut the ramp time from 30 to 20 - normally takes that long to fall asleep and adjust as I see what happens. He told me to play with it until I starte...

Re: Backwards
Thank you Okie - Since I am already at 11, maybe go up two or three to 13 or 14 and go from there. I'm also going to call the company, who actually has to unlock this thing to change to auto and see what they recommend.
