Good luck. DH had the full face mask at first but soon broke out in a rash from the mask, so he switched to the nasal pillow which works as he doesn't sleep with his mouth open.

Sweet dreams, Kath.

Good luck.

Good luck. I hope it works out well for yo. Let us know.

🤞

Things are already going badly. Trying to set up the app that goes with the cpap. I downloaded the app, started to sign up, only to get an email with no "activate" link...so I can't set up my password. Guess I won't be using it tonight.

Uninstalled and reinstalling...if this doesn't work I'm done. lol

You should be able to use it without an app, I would think. Just read the instruction manual. What exactly does the app do? I've never had one with an app, so it's difficult to imagine why you need that.

Olychick, the app allows me to see what's going on with my sleep and can send in the info directly to my doctor.

While I was messing with this my son was complaining about all the new Samsung phones and how they are mostly worse than the old one he has. I told him about my cpap machine and he video called me. He's deployed very far away and could only type his messages, no voice. But he figured it out! The stupid link was invisible and I had to double click the email. How stupid. And how is a 61 year old supposed to know that?

I have a ResMed AirTouch 11 and a Samsung phone, and I had no trouble setting up the MyAir app on the phone, and I am not good with apps. I do not remember an invisible link in my email, but I'm glad that you got yours working okay.

Did you get a memory foam mask? Those are much more comfortable for me than the plain plastic masks. I do sleep with my mouth open (I think) and generally breathe through my mouth when sleeping because my nose get congested, even though I take Allegra.

Good luck going forward.

Lars, I have the same, except I chose the regular plastic mask. The memory foam seemed less sanitary. I also sleep with my mouth open or assume I do since I always wake up with a sore throat. Today, no sore throat. I don't feel like I got a good night's sleep, though. I can change the mask one time within the next 29 days.

The app says I took my mask off three times last night, but I never took it off. It also says the seal was great. Ummm, no it wasn't because I kept waking to air leaks all night long and had to adjust my sleep position to stop the air from leaking. I'm guessing the worst times that happened the machine thought I took it off?

It will take some getting used to. We had to play with DH's hose to get it to drape over the headboard so he doesn't roll or lay on it. Fit is also really important to prevent leaking.

My sister was waking up with red marks on her face from her mask in the beginning that would persist long enough still visible when she arrived at her office. It took a few days of adjustments and becoming used to it - don't get too impatient too quickly.

DH says I snore, as does he - but I haven't been tested. I might benefit from a sleep mask and most his brothers and sisters wear one but DH does not, no testing there either. I sleep so soundly, almost childlike, I think I'd pull it off in my sleep. I do that with hand moisturizing gloves or socks with no conscious memory of having done it.

I hope it works out for you, people I know who have been successful with theirs have been quite happy with their outcomes.

Hopefully it will get better. I know it takes time. I knew the minute the nurse tested it on me with the machine running, that I would feel like I was sufficating for awhile lol.

Im glad you got it figured out. I know the app is for reporting, was just pointing out that you could probably use the machine without the app for a while until you did figure it out. I am much happier with my machine since I switched to heated hoses. While they are annoyingly unflexible (like wrestling an alligator) the warm air is much nicer.
