Re: Thinking of changing masks
I just noticed as I was looking for other CPAP supplies that you can buy all the parts you need off Amazon to build just about any mask, but you can’t buy the mask because of prescription issue. I am going to order a N30 strap to go on my P10.

Re: Nosebleed Issues
A few more bits of info. I used AYR Saline Gel before putting on my mask. I have also used Afrin to try to stop the bleeding, but not proactively. I don’t think you can use Afrin indefinitely. My machine pressure is set to 6 (by prescription) and the ramp up starts at 4. For the seven days I resumed...

Nosebleed Issues
I used my CPAP for several years for a mild diagnosis of sleep apnea. I stopped using it a few years ago, but recently decided to start using it again as I now have a atrial fibrillation diagnosis which may be due to sleep apnea. I used an AirSense 10 with humidity and a heated hose which I have set...

Re: AirSense 10 Useful Life?
I just called today about replacing my 5 1/2 year old Airsense 10. I was told Medicare allows a new one every 5 years and most insurance are either 3 or 5 years.

Re: Sores & blisters from AirFit P10 For Her Nasal Pillow Mask
I am starting my second week with treatment as a new CPAP user. I picked the P10 mask because it had a minimal feel to it and it worked great in my titration test. I started with the large pillow and it worked great, but it seemed like the pillows were not "inside" my nostril. I switched to the medi...

Re: Home Titration
Talked to Blue Cross and they gave me three name, all of whom offer in lab and not in home. Will call them again.
Has anyone had an in home titration? The labs I called acted like it was just not done. Baseline was offered by all three in home, but no titration.

Home Titration
i had a in lab baseline study done in July that was diagnosed as moderate sleep apnea. My Dr had request a split study, but the tech for some reason did not do the titration. Blue Cross pre-approved the in Kabul study, but now says the titration must be done in home? I called all the local providers...
