Re: 2 odd nights, suggestions?

I apologize, I haven't been able to upload the graphs from sleepyhead yet, but here's what i got. 2 Nights AHI over 8, average is 2 or 3 (only 6 nights worth of data however) The 2 nights I was over 8, they shared the same common traits : No appreciable leaks very few events (less than 1 AHI) until...

I'm having good luck with my Swift FX for both back and side sleeping.

Re: Wierd air feeling coming from hose?

Just to be clear, your mask doesn't look like this right?

Re: Wierd air feeling coming from hose?

I'm very new to all this but it sounds like you're talking about a normal pulse coming from your machine. I'm not exactly sure what these pulses are for but mine does it from time to time as well.

Re: Poll: Do you use your mask as it came or with modifications

My Swift FX came with strap covers so I'd have to vote for one and two.

Re: A little help please?

But your comment got me to thinking so I looked at my PR S1 machine to see if I could spot any other slot that the modem would use to access the machines firmware. I don't see anything else. I haven't ever seen a modem...I don't know how it attaches or access the firmware. Pugsy, The bezel around t...

Re: A little help please?

Thanks again Pugsy!

My RT actually gave me the SD card after removal, I don't know why it was removed in the first place. I just assumed that the modem and card wouldn't work together.

Re: A little help please?

Thanks so much for the explanation Pugsy! I had no idea that my machine wasn't effective for centrals. I watched as my RT set up my machine and she removed the SD card right before she installed the modem. I assumed that the card had to be removed in order for the modem to be snapped into place. I n...

A little help please?

Sleep apnea therapy is very new to me and tonight will be my 10th night in a row. I'm adapting to using the mask and machine and I've been sleeping really well for the last few nights. After my first sleep study I was told that I stopped breathing 50 to 60 times per hour and that at one point my O2 ...

Re: ive got a brick on my face

I just started treatment and last night was the 5th night on my machine. Before I started useing it I dreaded the thought of having to be strapped to this device for the rest of my life. I thought for sure that I would never get used to it. For me, it's not that bad and I think that I won't have any...

Re: Questionable DME practices

My DME did the same thing, except I did receive all three sizes of pillows for my FX. Here's the breakdown from my DME bill. Resperonics DS750HS (750P from the bottom of the machine?)

Re: New and struggling

Thanks to everyone for their great posts and support. I've been recently diagnosed with moderate/severe sleep apnea. Of course I'm in denial and having difficultly facing this situation because the art of sleeping is so sacred to me. In saying this I used to adore going to bed to enjoy my sleep. I'...
