Re: Thin face and zero luck with ResMed
Now I see you from your notes that you tried the N-30i. Was it too wide for your nose?

Re: Thin face and zero luck with ResMed
No advice from me on machine settings, but I can talk about masks. I also have a thin face and apparently a small head - cause many headgear straps with Velcro end up overlapping. Some masks offer a “For Her” size but they’re not much smaller. Anyway, I used a FFM for several years, tried many (5?) ...

Re: Dream wisp
How is the n30 with side sleeping and hose coming off nose? Any leak issues with n30? Thanks I go back & forth between N30i & Dream Wisp. I mostly sleep on my side & they’re both good for that. Seems like every mask I’ve tried has pros and cons. I find the N30i to be more comfortable, but it also s...

Re: CPAP supplies at CVS
According to the web site we have 3 within 30 miles of my home. Lucky. There is one WalMart 30 miles from my home, otherwise 90 miles to nearest shopping besides a grocery store or Ace Hardware. Not complaining really, even tho it sounds like it, but sometimes I do wish it were a little easier to s...

Re: Tips for getting a doctor to take me seriously
Did you say “I’d like to have a sleep study.”
And then did the doc say “No.”
There’s got to be more to this story.

Re: Has your quality of life improved much after using CPAP machines?
No.
But I’m still plugging away after 3 years.

Re: Sensitive Skin
May I suggest a chin strap? I switched to N30i a few months ago - after almost 3 years of several types of full-face mask, because of mouth breathing. With the chin strap on, I felt like I was in a “head-clamp” After a week or so, I tried without the chin strap and lo and behold, I can keep my mouth...

Re: Sleep Doctor doesn't look at data
I feel very lucky after reading all these responses. I love my sleep doctor. He is trained in Primary Care which he practiced for years but then became a sleep specialist. Works in the “Sleep & Respiratory Center” at a hospital. He is so easy to talk to, patient, and answers all my questions. He als...

Re: I toss and turn in my sleep and take my mask off
Ditto the above answer and I have a question: how do you know you got into REM sleep? For what it’s worth, after 3 yrs I still take my mask off sometimes. There was never any pattern, I’d usually be surprised when I woke up with it off. Now it seems to be just if I’m having trouble staying asleep an...

Re: mask flexing
It’s normal. That’s why the material is flexible. Enjoy it. Use it as a way of being mindful of your breath to relax and fall asleep.

Re: Billing issue /question
Just a heads up on changing your insurance at the beginning of the year (as you said you were)....they may start all the payments from scratch. I didn’t have an upfront cost for the machine, but with my insurance I was going to pay over 13 months. Got my machine 3 yrs ago in October, changed insuran...

Re: mold in humidifier
Catnapper, I’ve had the same thing happen, on the “rectangular” gasket that lifts up when you open the humidifier. Quite a frightening thing to find! Kinda freaked out. I took it off & washed thoroughly. For sure I used Dawn dish soap, don’t remember if I used vinegar too but I may have. Also took o...

Re: Dreamstation Humidifier Chamber failure - leaks
For what it’s worth, my Dreamstation water chamber is 3 years old, original one, never had a leak. Is it possible that you may inadvertently bang it on the edge of the sink while emptying or washing it? Trying to get that last drop of water out? I fear dropping it on a tile floor because I’m sure it...
