My AirSense 10 relieves my chronic allergy symptoms. I guess it filters out dust and mold spores.
My 4th machine was an AirSense 11. I had to return it due to it producing a smell like that of insulation burning on an electric wire. I replaced it with an AirSense 10. I had used AirSense 10 for five years without a recognized problem. The new AirSense 10 works similarly well and seems to be a more robust design than the AirSense 10.
My new ResMed AirSense 11 APAP had a strong smell to its output air. The odor was similar to burning insulation from a failing electrical connection. I returned it and got an AirSense 10 that does not produce a smell. My previous AirSense 10 did not have a smell either. One of my early machines did but it was not nearly as strong as what the AirSense 11 produced. This toxic smell issue is one others have also experienced causing them to also return an AirSense 11. Not sure if A11 is the same machine.
I had to fight off falling asleep at mid-day for most of my working life. It was not until after I retired that I was diagnosed with severe apnea. After sleep test number three I took a nap test. A nap test may produce a diagnosis of narcolepsy. Treatment for narcolepsy can be a prescription for a stimulant. I do not think narcolepsy is well understood and it has a spectrum of severity. Someone with narcolepsy may get 8 hours of good sleep, wake up, and then feel the urge to fall back to sleep soon after waking. Maybe something to consider...a nap test at a facility that does sleep tests.
ResMed's contact section on their site has always failed for me. I would like to know what changes in the function of an AirSense 10 by switching between nasal and full face mask. (There is also a pillows setting.)
I also wonder if an Evora Full Face mask (a hybrid mask) should use the nasal or full face function. A mask similar to it by ResMed, also a full face hybrid, uses the nasal setting. Fisher Paykel does not know the answer nor does my DME.
Can anyone help me with this question?
Thanks.
I tried taking a maximum recommended dose of hemp oil for two months, two different brands from slick looking websites. The only effect it had was an in increase my acid reflux pain.
