No, I'm coming from the S9. When the guy at Lincare said you can't trade down to an AirCurve 10 if you don't like the AirCurve 11. Well if the 11 doesn't work right, either it gets fixed or another 11 replaces it. S9 a great machine. Same motor as the AS10. As far as the heated tube, which I think ...

Do you also have UARS?

No... my AHI is 104. Look for the AXG Jason video I posted, he talks about his success and failures treating UARS. Rubicon has more experience here, follow his suggestions (or post a SleepHQ link) to get expert advice.

The problem is when I start falling asleep I always "jerk awake" again. Sometimes (about 50%) it's with actual hypnogogic jerks, leg or arm. The other times it's like my heart jumps up my throat followed by adrenaline. I do not get either when not using the machine. It's so bad that when it happens...

Hello, I'm actually diagnosed with sleep apnea, but I guess I have UARS. because my AHI is always below 5. even without a BIPAP device. I currently sleep with a BIPAP pressure of 17/12 mbar, and unfortunately I still don't sleep very well. I'm still tired during the day... does the airflow in Sleep...

Thanks all, The old unit is the Aircurve 10s with last best settings of CM=11 PS=9. Good to know concerning rehabbing the old unit with a new motor. That's some insane pumping... I can't see any way to get that kind of response out of an APAP limited to EPR3. I have an Aircurve 10 vAuto but I only ...

does not hold 380ml How much? Earlier in the thread an enterprising user bought a graduated cylinder and measured the full capacity at 325ml... see the pics. I just noticed, looking at these pics, that there are two notches in the hinge line of the tub... this prevents the extra 55ml I'm sure... an...

Check your machine's time... available in Clinical Menu. Resmed days start and stop at noon, perhaps that's what's getting you. Without a screenshot that's all I've got... SleepHQ is better for sharing nights, just post a Share link... and it's free.

Thank you for the info I will have to see if I can do that some how. Another question, how tight should my mask be? I feel if its too loose air gets out the top and blows into my eyes and then out the bottom when i breathe. So I generally have to tighten a fair amount in order to make sure it stays...

Hold your breath for 15 seconds....that's essentially a 15 second central apnea...the airway is open but no air is moving but that's because you aren't even trying to breathe. But I wasn't holding my breath... believe me, I know how to breathe normally when laying in bed awake on CPAP. I induced CA...

Yes, the gap is when I took off the mask to catch my breath. Not a great feeling for sure. The move to a Resmed 11 APAP from the 10 BiPap is the outcome with yet another sleep study, new Doc and her insistence that I needed an Auto machine and could not justify a Bi-Pap cost because the study showe...

The below video argues that the Resmed EPR causes a higher pressure when used. I want the best results at the lowest pressure. Keeping my fingers crossed. https://youtu.be/GaXA0ZIWj1Y I believe Nick says the exact opposite... if you have EPR turned on your effective support pressure is *lessened*.....

Whew! The Airsense 10 or 11 is fine.

What about the hose connection issue? Have you checked yours for this?

Also, have you ever used an Airsense/Aircurve 10?

I believe they are CA's, whether you were asleep or not. I'll bet your Flex or EPR is on. Turn it down if you can. All my opinion. I know they say 'only if asleep'... I've induced awake CA's in my self using EPR, your carotid bodies don't care if you're asleep or awake.

IMO wean yourself off EPR, I believe it's causing your CA's at 10cm. Good luck.

This is a good one... he's hammer-down on getting doctors involved. We've been left out in the cold by our physicians, techs, and DME's for too long. See what you think.
