I'm with your wife exactly. But need to keep my mouth shut suddenly, wasn't ever a problem before. Will try "mewing." Or a homemade chin strap. (Headband?) My mask is a s/m (4th size?) The hard piece on the nasal pillow smashed the tip of my nose.

just found your channel! thank you! my DME rented me a dreamstation 1 without mentionning the recall... I'll have to ask if they knew. They did not know about Oscar or SleepHQ's detailed reading software. They didn't even know you could turn off the cellular modem! (I wanted it off because I don't wanna sleep in more radiation) But I discovered that even when you turn off the modem, it quietly turns itself back on without telling you a day or two later.... you're absolutely right: we are not Philips' client. (oh wait that was from your Dreamstation 2 review video...) anyway thank you! following!

You did a good job. But as a female, need to find a place to get the inside of my machine service and clean, totally reeks and stinks so bad

Meow! 😹

Low oxygen stops the body from healing.The brain doesn’t function properly and the mitochondria won’t fire. Try to stay away from dairy and wheat for the gut. Sugar is also not anyone’s friend even fruit. Only berries and apples low sugar fruits. Don’t eat late at night when the body is sweeping the body of excess junk it doesn’t need. Take care love to all❤️

I just can't sleep with only nose breathing for the most part but the part under the nose that cuts you is ridiculous! I run the full face mask, it does the job and doesn't leak for me but I put a small piece of that brown bandage tape under my nose to protect the skin. The problem also with the full face phillips mask is that for me that pushes on the sides of nose further restricting nose breathing. It's a tough thing to get used to.

Thank you for your kindness and help with this. I have just got a hybrid nose and mouth mask. It’s been leaking quite a bit even different sizes, so will see if I can get them to send me a nasal pillow, as this is how I breath most of the time. Ps, have you thought about doing relaxing audiobooks? Just saying!! lol 😝 Best, Quintin

Thank you. What works for one person doesn’t work for another. Excellent help. 🙏❤️

Use 2 cups of vinegar to 1 cup water, 20 years and counting

Wow man… first video of yours and this is so moving . I just got on Cpap this week. I’ve also had very poor memory all my life, have always heard complaints about my snoring and just overall fatigue . This is inspiring me to continue

Great video! Thank you so much!

Where did you get that antibacterial filter, never seen one in my 20 years of use?

I had a sleep test and it is EXTREMELY severe. Oxygen levels down to 42% and at one point during the study I had 310 events in an hour! Extremely URGENT to start therapy IMMEDIATELY so I was told. It's now 3 weeks later and the medical supply still hasn't gotten the prescription for the device because insurance said I needed additional testing....so I wait....and wait....and wait.

The whole cpap business is a money making exercise. The prices they charge for a simple nasal pillow is outrageous.

I was just given my first mask, and it is the Philips ridged pillow kind that you like. It seals well and feels fine. The problem I have with it is exhaling. Even with low pressure, I have to do a lot of work to exhale through my nose. Maybe I will get used to it?

Thank You! I have a question.....I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea about 14 years ago. I have a resmed 10 machine. I used it on and off for about two years.I went from a full face mask to a nose mask and then a pillow....then back to full! I couldn't deal with it and put it away for about 3 years. Only took it out when sleeping over relatives houses. My wife said I snore like crazy.......now we sleep apart. She has it also but won't get it checked out! Tried again for a week.....no good! Put it away for about 7-8 years. Have been taping my mouth....I wake up many times and always with a dry mouth! Want to try again, maybe with a different mask setup. I am closing in on 70 yrs old. My question is (finally), can I still use this machine? Even though it is over 10 years old, it has low mileage/usage. I have cleaned it thoroughly, and would buy new hose (heated) and new mask. It has been in it's case in air conditioning it's whole life. When using, always kept it clean, and always used distilled water. Am told nothing to clean inside of machine, I am the only user and was never subjected to anything outside and always in a/c. Look forward to your reply!

I primarily breathe through my nose so they started me out with the gels I hated the two gel nasal mask they tore my face up to I ended up using the single nasal pillow which goes over both your nostrils but mine had a little divider in the center making it much more comfortable than the one of the singles slit in it it took a while for my nosy get used to it a couple weeks but after that and now it's super comfy! The first one just absolutely sucked for me cuz I have a beard as well obviously from my picture mine is a single silicone nasal pillow with a thin strip silicone divider in the very center it literally feels super comfortable against your nose I haven't tried the one you're trying that exact shape but mine's basically the same idea just with no bumps mine is also a ResMed airsense 10 with a Airfit N30i nasal pillow.

looks like mine up till 2 days ago when i replaced the motor and cleaned the hole sys do to hrs on motor

Loved it

In my 10th year with "that damned thing" and still learning how to live with it. Thanks for this video, I will try again to find the right mask for myself. 👍X 100

Should you wash it with distilled water? I mean if reg water has minerals and other stuff in it; wouldn't that make more sense (no pun intended)!

I was like.... (In the words of Martin)...you go boy! I have the air sense 11!

Just found out at 29 (30) failed keeping it on and keeping a 19 day record a month. Mainly because I wake up with a dry ass mouth and work odd hours so I'd get home tired as shit and not put it on. Purely my own fault and now I gotta wait 3 months to get a new one. After the sleep study though I realized I've been walking around half awake with no energy since my early teens.

Next time, double bag the motor in a sealled food bag with the alcohol and a couple of cotton buds inside. Once sealed you can then use the cotton buds while it is flooded with alcohol without having to waste loads flushing it repeatedly.

SENSIBLE, FUNNY AND GOOD INFO. THANKS.

My God! I’m sitting here and my heart is hurting hearing what you’ve went through. The memory loss! I can’t remember sooooo much 💔💔💔 I pray we get it back!

This was an absolutely and incredible story to hear and see. Thank you for sharing! I hope it will help me on my apnea journey

In addition to fixing my extreme apnea problem, my reflux stopped immediately with CPAP. By the way, my sleep lab set my CPAP pressure at 22 cm, which is wicked high. I couldn't use CPAP at that pressure. I think the mask was leaking during the test and they cranked the pressure up to compensate. I found a nose mask that tapes to the nose and doesn't leak and was able to cut the pressure down by half. If you're having mask leaks, try all kinds of different brands.

WQW, I learned so much in this video. Thank you so much.. I'm on my first mask and it isnt perfect for my tendency to sidesleep. I now know I can try different options!

New subscriber here. I’m so happy I found your channel. I’ve suffered from sleep apnea for many years and I was worried it might kill me. My Doctor ordered the at home test equipment and I just finished sleeping with this equipment and have mailed it back and Im waiting for the results. I know I have sleep apnea but the insurance wants proof before I can the CPAP . I’ve been watching your videos to educate myself and they’ve been very helpful . Thank you

Very helpful video you are a star thank you

i just got an aircurve 10 with smoke smell in it. i'm thinking the whole motor assembly/unit would need to be replaced as well. well done on the video.

I really don't trust traditional doctors for the most part. They don't listen and only want to treat symptoms.

I didn’t know the reservoir came apart! Doh! Much better! Thank you. 😊

I feel sick 🤢

I'm using the ResMed AirFit P10 Pillow mask. From what I see, the mask-inside-the-mask keeps it full of air to keep it in contact with your nostrils. I was given this mask to try after using a full face mask for years. At the 2nd sleep study the tech recommended the P10 as he saw the one I'd been using leaked, and the P10 is great for anyone with a beard - and it is great. The CPAP machine I'm using now, the ResMed AirSense 10 AutoSet, has an App that scores you on how well the mask seals, and more.

Great job Dennis! Yes, your candid breakdown was just what I needed. Thank you

I am on my 2nd hand me down CPAP. Yeah I know it's horrible to not have been to a sleep study but hey my dad died from not using his CPAP so I don't really care what Anyone thinks .. anyway I just got a resmed airsense 10 and it has a heated hose and smart start! I feel like I went from a yugo to a rolls Royce!

Those gel pillows are absolutely perfect for me! When they were discontinued, I went on a mission to buy every single one I could find in my size. I've got a stockpile that should last me my lifetime. Then I got worried they might discontinue the whole dreamwear system...so now I've got stockpiles of ALL the parts! 😂

Man oh man... anyone who has been using a CPAP machine for any length of time watching this video is probably gagging as they see all of that dust and garbage in there.

THANK YOU!

Thank you so much for making this video. I wish that every person diagnosed with sleep apnea could see this. You provide so much information and in such a pleasant way. CPAP therapy carries a stigma and I feel like you just make it seem normal and matter-of-fact. This is exactly what newly diagnosed individuals need when starting therapy can feel very overwhelming.

🤯 sleep apnea👍, acid reflux👍, IBS👍. Thank you for this mindblowing connection. I will trial a CPAP next week.🤞 And I must say your channel is hilarious in a good way. 🙏🙏🙏🖖

I just picked up an auto set loos just like that one. Found it in a pile of spilled stuff on the way to the dump. Only had a little over 650 hours on it. Like new. It was missing the power adapter. My brother loaned me one as nd it runs like a top. I cleaned it up and gave it a test run. Worked beautifully. Now I have a great backup unit.

Dennis, I worked in Radio Broadcasting for many years. I truly enjoyed LISTENING to you! You'd be great in Talk Radio!

I bet the alcohol in the two cuts on your finger felt good (4:48). Whew!

I really appreciate this video. I've been using a hybrid mask for sometime, but honestly struggling with it. I've always thought I needed to wear a full face mask being a "mouth breather" however the tip of where/how to place the tongue was interesting and happened to have a nasal mask I never used. Gave it a try and was so surprised that I kept my mouth closed all night. I've now switched to the nasal cushion and is a completely different experience for the better

Can you clean the motor? Need to clean one I received from a smoker🤮🤢

Yeah exactly what works for someone else might not work for you. I so badly didnt want a full face mask but my deviated septum is bad enough that its common for both nasal passages to be fully stuffed up and I have to breath through my mouth.

Huh the mewing is interesting, as you were describing it i realized i was already doing it and its my prefered natural resting for my tongue. But yeah im not sure if it really alligns your teeth. My bottom front teeth are pretty crooked but the top front row ive been completed by my dentist how straight they are so its like its cancled out?
