Don't know why these keep getting smaller! sorry. can you read them? I can repost if need be. Thanks!
OK here are four screenshots if I can get it to work. First two are most recent, with new lower pressure setting and nasal mask, and second two are prior ones with higher pressure setting and full face mask. Still not feeling well rested yet have to admit, although I have not woken up with a headache yet which is some progress I guess.
OK so I downloaded the SH software and got the data on my Mac, was pretty easy. I don't have a lot of data to work with yet, only a couple of weeks, but 1) there seems to be a huge difference between the full face mask and the nose mask and 2) there seems to be some big differences between the last two nights just with the nose mask. Be happy to post the data here if that's possible.
Hi - yes, got it sorted. I turned the humidifier setting down to one, and got a heated tube. The water level went down, so it was using water, but there was no condensation in the hose or mask, and no water in my face, so all is good. I think the combo of the heated hose and lower setting is key, although it still seemed to use nearly all of the water in the tank.
Great advice thanks. Don't know why I didn't think of that. Sleep deprived I guess! I actually went 9 hours with the machine last night which is a record for me, so making progress. Actually feel like a human today. The model number is DSX500H11 so it's definitely an Auto CPAP, so I seem go have the right one. It seemed like the basic mode at first because a lot of the functions were locked down until the sleep doc messed with it a couple of days ago. I'll download the software and see what I have on the SD card.
I've seen references to Sleepyhead software in various posts. The software that comes with my DreamStation that links via Bluetooth to my iPad doesn't provide much info. Does anybody know how to get it, how to use it and if it'll work with a DreamStation? Thanks!
Two years? That's terrible. Do you live in the U.S.? Just curious if the delay could be due to socialized medicine? I'm not knocking it, but I've heard getting certain tests and non-emergency procedures takes a while. I don't have any hard data though.
