RE: Please help with treatment review - DaveL - 01-16-2022 Thanks sheepless. Thanks Ratchick. And congratulations! I *think* I need to keep it simple. I'm thinking that the N20 ain't so bad. I need to be careful cause right now I'm angry at myself and angry at cpap too. I need to rush. Whole morning is shot. Got chores to do . I'm going to think on this. Go back through my charts and let some days go by with those settings and that mask. (and I have a full face mask borrowed I haven't had on.)

It looks like 14-19 with EPR 3 was working well, so maybe go back to that? And then work on the mask fit. Thanks Ratchick. Pressure set on the S10 as you suggested. I'll try the loaner F30i full face mask tonight. Dave RE: Please help with treatment review - DaveL - 01-16-2022 (01-16-2022, 10:14 AM)sheepless Wrote: well that was a wreck.Thanks sheepless. I put the N30i on today. Problem is size I think. I've got a big head. They gave me Standard frame. So the frame sits a little closer to my eyes; not half way. So the velcro thingy at the back slips up back of my head, and the mask almost comes off. I had used tape across my full lips. cervical collar. Wrong size mask frame is my thought. RE: Please help with treatment review - Geer1 - 01-17-2022 That P30i trial sure aggravated the situation. Keep playing with different masks to see if you can find one that helps. Curious to see what the full face gives for results. RE: Please help with treatment review - DaveL - 01-17-2022 Thanks Geer1 Last night I tried a F30i. Bad. I used it briefly in a power nap about 5:00 pm. Then started night's sleep--but took it off after about an hour or so. Back to my N20. And tape. Forgot to use my cervical collar. RE: Please help with treatment review - DaveL - 01-18-2022 Last night I used my old mask. ResMed n20. Taped. Used cervical collar. Woke 3 times. First time S10 said "1.5" Second time about 2 hours later it said "3.5" When I woke up it said "6.5" I wanted to print the SD card. I'd forgotten to take it out of my computer. No record on the card. Doesn't happen often. Back to my N20 mask tonight. Numbers slowly coming down/leak problem solved - DaveL - 01-19-2022 Feeling better rested than the last few days. Not rested enough. n20 mask (nasal mask) new insert solved leak problems. soft cervical collar full lip tape. I don't have csr.

I think you need to try ASV. RE: Please help with treatment review - DaveL - 01-21-2022 Thanks Geer1. I don't know how to do that with our Ontario health system. Except to buy a used machine. RE: Please help with treatment review - Sleeprider - 01-21-2022 Dave, there are several Resmed VPAP Adapt SV 36007 units on Dotmed from $400 to $800 USD depending on hours from 92 to over 14,000. Fewer hours would be the better deal, but whatever you might be able to afford to try, it will likely be a life-changing improvement. Since you have no options for ASV in Ontario, it might be worth considering. |
