Re: Weird sound from dreamstation

Unhook your mask from your long hose. Stick the long hose in your mouth and seal around it with lips and mouth...yes it can be done easily. Turn machine on...breath through the long hose....do you still hear the noise? Doing this at least eliminates the mask as being the culprit if you still hear t...

Re: Weird sound from dreamstation

You have an automatic and you report that the noise does not occur until you've slept for several hours. The problem may only occur once you hit a certain pressure. If that's the case, you can set the max just below where that was happening. Also, if you have exhalation relief (A-flex or C-flex) ac...

Re: Weird sound from dreamstation

The problem is it isn't happening until it wakes me up at about the 5 hour mark. I even tried changing to my prior mask. Same thing. I assume it is because I am breathing deeper in my sleep and then the noise is waking me up. I have now failed compliance because of it and had to pay for the last pay...

Weird sound from dreamstation

I keep getting this weird whistling/wheezing sound from my dreamstation or it might even be coming from my dreamwear ffm or headgear. It wakes me up and I can't figure out where the heck its coming from or what's causing it. I actually failed compliance due to it and have to pay for my current renta...

Re: Doctor told me "some people just don't tolerate CPAP"

I believe that approximately 80% of PAP-machine unit sales by CPAP.com are APAPs, and only 20% or so are CPAPs. So in that sense, maybe . . .

Re: Doctor told me "some people just don't tolerate CPAP"

I tried for YEARS to sleep on a cpap and at best could make it half the night. It was a miserable battle for so long. Now that the auto feature is on most cpap’s it is worlds better. I was never able to sleep an entire night before the auto feature. Are you on constant pressure or auto? Maybe someth...

Padacheek finally has covers for FFM dreamwear line

I had inquired on a cover for my ffm dreamwear mask months ago and I finally got an email that Padacheek has created a beta version. I am over the moon happy!

Re: any ff dreamwear leak tricks?/cpap cause breathing issues?

When I started using my dreamwear ffm I didn’t have any leaks. Then I had a rash and had to stop using it for a weak, now I am having leaks. Doesn’t make any sense to me. I am also not sleeping near as well on it. Ah well, back to adjusting.

Rash from cpap mask

For the first time in over 10 years I have contracted my first facial rash from my cpap mask. I have a dreamwear ffm. I know it is not a reaction to the mask itself because although it is newer it did not start immediately. I think it was caused by some type of moisture rash, like a sweat rash, heat...

Re: Staring to have acne around where my mask sits

I have never had a reaction to any mask before. I recently started using the dreamwear ffm, which I love. It is the most comfortable one between the headgear and mask I have ever worn. However, I found that I was sweating under it and for the first time I ever I got what I think was a sweat rash all...

Re: Staring to have acne around where my mask sits

A quick trial to see if a cover would work......... Take a well washed white t-shirt, lay it flat and place your mask on it. Now trace your mask onto the fabric .... adding about 3/4 of an inch all round. Cut this out and then cut a mouth and nose hole so that you can breath through it. Voila!!! yo...

Re: Why are there so many bad reviews of the Philips Respironics DreamStation?

I have been on Cpaps for years. I have been on ResMed mostly. I have a DreamStation now and love it. I don’t have any complaints.

I'm using Biotene Moisturizing Gel and it works well.
