Re: Cult Of Lanky... Make APAP Go Away
No.....don't go there and start another pissing contest. We have had this same pissing contest for years and it always gets ugly and I am not in the mood for that ugly again. I will remove pissing contests...and fairly quickly. Everyone here knows I give one warning only...and this one is yours. Wh...

Re: New user trying to understand why apnea events are not <5
Can you please provide documentation for how/why the machine responds to cardioballistic artifacts with more pressure? Or was this comment you made just your own opinion? Here's my previous post on the matter... unfortunately the SleepHQ links have expired. I was able to help this person by putting...

Cult Of Lanky... Make APAP Go Away
I guess I got my priesthood! Send tithes to 'c/o van down by the river'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-QnPVEpmmo Obviously he surfs here and searches on terms 'Lanky' 'Lefty' 'Jason'. Can't say I blame him, this stuff is his life... dare I say he 'lives and breathes' CPAP? I guess it's time for ...

Re: New user trying to understand why apnea events are not <5
Vandownbytheriver: Thank you for your thoughts. I don’t think the insurance will change my machine yet as I have only had it for about 5 weeks. I can’t even see the actual sleep neurologist until January 2025. The medical equipment supplier refuse to change the settings without a new prescription (...

Re: Burned Tongue feeling after CPAP
A lot of people who responded to these in the forum said it could be thrush but I never had that in my life since I started CPAP treatment, and I wash my mask every day and I clean my pipe thoroughly weekly with vinegar followed up soapy water. I thought I'd mention that to see if anyone has any su...

Big FL spike... the machine wanted to take you to the moon... it maxed out at 16cm... *and that didn't help*. It was the big leak that caused the arousal that ended ...

Re: Toshiba FlashAir SD Card, Mac (M2), OSCAR Setup Help
Hello CPAP Family, I have obtained a Lowenstein PrismaSmart CPAP machine and a Toshiba FlashAir Wifi SD Card. Lowenstein does not have SleepHQs support yet, so I will be using OSCAR in the interim. Does anyone know steps or clear instructions in order for me to set this specific Wifi SD card up in ...

Re: 12 months use - no idea WTH I'm doing - need help - CSR/CA
I don't think I was on FF setting with the pillows, I think I changed it to FF when I swapped masks. I may be wrong though. OK... it remembers the last thing you set... my bad. I just did another test on a nap with the pillows, should be on the pillows setting. I reduced the pressure further down t...

Re: Maxoak connector for Airsense 11?
First post here, 31+ year CPAP user. From the long long ago... from the before times. An old one has come! We welcome your knowledge. I have successfully used my Maxoak K5 with my old Resmed Airsense 10, but the 10 died and was replaced with an Airsense 11. Is there a connector and/or adapter to co...

Re: 12 months use - no idea WTH I'm doing - need help - CSR/CA
Also, nothing out of the ordinary in the way of palpitations, so that's good news too. That's good. Here's last night's Sleep HQ report, let me know if I haven't done anything correctly. Any comments greatly appreciated. Looks like progress... you could use more pressure, but your aerophagia limits...

Re: New CPAP user here
I always start on my side breathing through my nose. At some point I roll to my back and my mouth apparently opens and I switch to mouth breathing. Considering trying the whole mouth taping/nasal mask but since I'm only about 7 weeks into the CPAP I'm trying to get the FF mask down. I changed the r...

Re: 12 months use - no idea WTH I'm doing - need help - CSR/CA
My wifes and intensive care nurse and said too much interthorasic pressure could have caused them. What do you guys think on that point, and overall, worth trialling it at night with a reduced pressure? 11cm with EPR 3 is not a drastic increase in pressure. Try the pillows tonight with the mouth ta...

Re: 12 months use - no idea WTH I'm doing - need help - CSR/CA
I've included below the charts from last night. For the last period after the long break, I turned the EPR off (it was on 3) to see how it would work after watching a couple of Lanky Lefty videos. Looks to my untrained eye that it was better with it on. I also made as much effort as one can to slee...

Re: New CPAP user here
Here is a link with the data after the pressure increase. Seems like events went down. Should I continue to raise the minimum? Thank you to everyone that has helped! Looks like you're making progress! It's still wanting to take you high... lots of FL and Snore, and OA's driving you toward 20cm peak...
