So this will be disappointing for many, especially the manufacturers of the various cpap cleaning machines. J Clin Sleep Med. 2013 Aug 15;9(8):747-50. doi: 10.5664/jcsm.2910. The above is a free article to read at www.pubmed.com, the site for peer reviewed medical journals. Although colonization in ...

I don't post often, but this one I want to weigh in on. I was a Fisher Paykel nasal pillow guy with mouth tape for the first couple of years of CPAP (autoset 7-15 range), but would still have problems with tape irritating my skin or leaking at the edges. Tried numerous FFM and Hybrids with much leak...

I use the full face mask version of the F10. I'm an average sized male, no facial hair, use an autopap S9 at 7-15 range. Prior I used nasal CPAP with mouth tape but found the tape always irritating and would come off and leak. Then went to ZZZ probasics FFM and learned that the small size was best f...

I'd be cautious about the prongs. I am a current fan of the Opus nasal pillow system, though I do well with the hybrid mask seals as well on the nose (though the mouth part sadly leaks). I tried the prongs- to get a good seal, you'll be sore in the nose significantly until you can either mentally to...

I am amazed at the people who are fans of this awful piece of CPAP interface. I have an S9, and the huge opening in the Twilight/Aura/Everest/Evo whatever mask (I suspect they change the name to dodge all the bad reviews of it) causes an 'unacceptable leak' according to the S9, even when firmly seat...

Recently got an S9 autoset. I got a hold of the Resmed 3.14 software (yup, these are all over the torrent sites now for download) and put in my card and saw my data. Just for the heck of it, I tweaked my settings on the card and plugged it back into the S9 and voila! The new settings were uploaded t...

Recently got an S9 autoset. The main reason I got it over the S8 is that I really, really hate propriety data card interfaces, like the S8 has. Some bizarre shaped card that no one else uses and you have to buy Resmed's card reader . . . a bunch of hooey. I feel the same way about Sony's 'memory sti...

I'm a pain doc. Several things: First off, muscle spasms can mimic 'pinched nerve' pain. To confirm it's a nerve issue, pinch your skin on the arm and touch the skin to see if the sensation is altered significantly (not 'slightly') from the other arm. If so, it's possible either a disc is irritating...

As a doc, I gotta tell y'all I'm impressed with the sophistication and knowledge on this site. However, in defense of the sleep docs, it's not just 'protecting their turf'. It's also 'covering their ass'. Not all patients are a sharp as you guys, there are people out there who will think that if the...
