Re: Followed Board Advice - Please Compare 2 Days

Pugsy,
Thank you so much for taking so much of your time to help me. I want to purchase the "For Her" model but the only thing stopping me is my need for an 8' hose. All I see online are 6' hoses for it. Are there 8' hoses for this machine? Can it use the more common sized hises?

Re: Followed Board Advice - Please Compare 2 Days

If I purchase the RESMED machine what settings would you suggest based on the info on me you have? If I order it on Tuesday I can have them set it to your recommendations and later fine tune it. The RESMED AirSense 10 AutoSet would provide the same benefits as the "For Her" model you use? Minimum Pr...

Re: Followed Board Advice - Please Compare 2 Days

Dreams are never a good thing for me. They are usually more like nightmares. I was a Marine infantryman in Vietnam 50 years ago and many of my dreams bring me back there. I don't want to dream at all. Would that top of the line RESMED machine make me much less likely to dream? I would make the inves...

Re: Followed Board Advice - Please Compare 2 Days

I am feeling much better when I awake and throughout the day. Before last week I would wake up feeling miserable. Last night I had dreams I remembered for the first time since starting the APAP. Looking at the sleep steps you mentioned I think REM might be responsible for that. What is the RESMED ma...

Re: Followed Board Advice - Please Compare 2 Days

Good Morning Pugsy,
Las night was a bit different. I awoke to snores at least a couple of times and a few times I felt the mask was momentarily leaking. Below is last nights screen shot. I also expanded the events I thought may help.
Thank you,
mike

I'm trying to remove the snore graph but having a problem doing it. I will raise minimum pressure .5cm.

You didn't say whether you're using a heated hose (specific for Dream Station CPAPs), or "standard" hose (that will fit almost any CPAP).
I'm using a standard hose. Thanks everyone for your help.

Difficulty removing hose from APAP

I just completed my first week on APAP. Things seem to be going well thanks to assistance from Pugsy. My Problem: Removing the hose from the machine was very difficult. The soft rubber end of the hose was very difficult to move. I got it off but had to really pull and twist it with some force to do ...

Re: Followed Board Advice - Please Compare 2 Days

"We know you woke up turned the machine off at the end of whatever this was. Do you remember being a wake briefly before you turned the machine off? Did you wake up and lay there for a few minutes and then decide to turn the machine off?" Yes, I did wake up (both times) and lay there for a few minut...

Re: Followed Board Advice - Please Compare 2 Days

I see what you mean about the red/black boxes in lower left. I'm not sure what it is that you want me to send you regarding flow rate nor how to do it? Should I change my maximum pressure to something below 20 now? I think I had the machine off at about 3:15am this morning for a bathroom break. Mayb...

Re: Followed Board Advice - Please Compare 2 Days

Good morning Pugsy, I set the maximum pressure at 20 for last night as you suggested. Something Odd: The results I posted for 5-23-18 yesterday are now different when I look at 5-23-18 on SleepyHead now. The AHI, pressure, etc. are at odds with my posting yesterday. I will attach below the "new" num...
