yes. Yes to which? Yes a limit can be set for the maximum pressure, or yes they are always auto all the way up to the highest pressure? Clearly I don't know how to add quotes! :? The AirCurve VAuto has 3 operating modes: traditional CPAP; S-Mode (a straight bi-level mode with options available like...

I suffer from uars and fell asleep successfully with CPAP at 7.4 and 5.4 but it gives me worse anxiety than not treating it so I think I have to use bipap. It feels like the exhale is inducing horrible anxiety I tried it and I could not fall asleep. I have a resmed aircurve 10 vauto. I have it set ...

If you have Ryobi 18 volt cordless tools, they make an inverter that will take their 18v batteries to provide 150 watts AC power. (EDIT: ResMed has some conflicting guides on using inverters. The Ryobi 18 volt battery inverter uses a modified sine wave and has a continuous power rating of 150 watts....

No frontals here either. When I found out, I went back to my mother and said "Hey, you know how when I asked for something as a child, you'd say I needed it like I needed another hole in my head? Well guess what?"

I started experiencing sleep paralysis in my early 20s, although I didn't know what it was at the time. I worked midnight shift alone in a file room while finishing up college and it was a very slow, low demand shift. I'd frequently "lay my head down to rest my eyes for a few minutes" ( :lol: ) and ...

I had a similar problem with Lincare. My insurance originally was United Healthcare when I got my S9 and the terms of their agreement for these machines was to lease, with a cap of 8 months on payments. To any sane person, the intent is that the patient keeps the machine and it's theirs since after ...

Yeah, I agree with Tropical It sounds like weight was at the least complicating your case, but whether or not it was the root cause of it is pure speculation. Speaking for myself, I wasn't diagnosed until I was in my 40's and my weight out of control, but once the sleep apnea was controlled, it beca...

So I'm kind of at a loss. My Doctor told me that I'm past the expected life on the machine and that my insurance will cover most of the cost for a new one, but I don't see much sense in replacing it if it's working fine and isn't the source of any of these issues. It may be working fine... until on...

I use enough distilled water that my tank won't run dry at night. In the morning, I pour what's left into a jug marked "Used" to use for watering orchids, for the iron, and for a steamer that requires distilled water. But I won't reuse CPAP water. I also keep a glass of drinking water by my bed, an...

A tip that my doctor gave to me a few years ago was to take Claritin along with the Afrin to extend that window before rebound will occur. Are you sure he didn't say Claritin-D? Claritin is only an antihistamine (pseudoephedrine). Claritin-D is both a decongestant (loratadine) and an antihistamine ...

Oxymetazoline Hcl 0.05% (Afrin and others) is a great product when used with caution. If you have temporary congestion, using it three or four days in a row will not cause rebound congestion when it is discontinued. A tip that my doctor gave to me a few years ago was to take Claritin along with the...

Some of what you are experiencing reminds me of what I've been through very recently. Like you, I had been having unusually vivid dreams and nightmares for the past several months in particular. I have 2 BiPAP machines: a ResMed S9 and a ResMed AirCurve VAuto. The AirCurve was new about a year and a...

Howdy all. On again, off again lurker here. So here’s my success story. When I was first diagnosed with sleep apnea, no one told me what I was dealing with. My primary doctor had referred me for a test. The sleep center called me. The person who did the test was like “Yep, you have it.” They called ...

Howdy. Is the AirCurve still available?
