Do you need to buy all the components like the masks or are they included?
Some of these sites are hard as hell to understand what you get. |

Your motor is probably no where near being shot. I had that notification come up for years. Resmed S-10s will last long past their "due date". I was at like 20K+hours and my CPAP provider said they see the S-10s last into the 40K+ hours. The S-11s aren't nearly as reliable and the humidifier resevoir is quite a bit smaller if you like to sleep a long time. S-10s are built better and are cheaper; they are the way to go. |

Dang. I just ordered a S-10 a few hours ago
![]() Oh well. It cost me $400 instead of $600 for a S-11. It scares me that any night the thing will shoot craps. I used the HSA account with $15K, so $400 will give me piece of mind. I am glad I went with the tried and trusted S-10, not the S-11 that I will return. I am going to try the pillows again tonight, which irritate the inside of my nose. I like the concept, but my nose doesn't. Quote:

I am not sure about full face masks. It seems that it might be the case though. I breath through my nose now. Before, it was through my mouth, because of the apnea. It will take a bit of experimentation. In the end, no matter the cost (not a Lamborghini), you will feel much better. Again, the fight or flight hormones of adrenaline and cortisol during episodes will go away. It will take awhile to adjust. I took me ~3 days....a "hurricane" up my nose! Keep at it.... |

Of course, about every 3 months they barrage me with calls wanting me to buy they replacements. Any place you buy things, should have the compatible parts. |

No, all the hoses have swivels so when you toss/turn in the night it doesn't effect your sleep. You'll try several swivels before finding what works for you. Also where you put the swivel or add in one in another place too.

I went to the pulmonologist this morning. 5:17 total sleep 56-68 low to high episodes per hour 10-41 seconds low to high of length of stoppages Doctor was really concerned with my plunging O2 levels during the episodes as they put a lot of stress on my heart. My resting heart rate was in the 55 range and skyrocket to 115 during the peak of my stoppages. I was supposed to pick up a unit today, fully covered by insurance, but my doctors nursing assistants forgot to send the order over last week. They are terrible at all this stuff. Also suck at prescription refills. I pray to have it by Monday night. |

Walmart recently started selling a generic version that's about $3 cheaper but I don't care for it. It's thicker and stickier and has a more chemical smell. Quote:
They do make masks that vent out at the top of your head so you can run the hose up under the headboard where it's out of the way. I don't have that kind so I bought a cheapy hose lift and that solved the problem and gets it out of the way. ![]() |

What the hell is on the head of that person in bed?
Is that a male or female? That's some creepy shit right there. |

Carl Weathers died in his sleep.. I bet a lot of people who have, is due to sleep Apnea.. So much stress on your heart and not having good sleep shortens your life span…

And, as a final thought, using a CPap will take some time to adjust to as you sleep. The body is malleable over time. |
