Dentists in Hull that know about Mewing ?
I was wondering if there are any dentists in Hull who know about John & Mike Mew, and changing jaw shape over time?I could add that I saw an ENT consultant recently and she said jaw shape, malocclusion, is genetic, which has become a debatable…See More
"I did replace the tank in my SleepCube, and had to regularly take the silicone sealing gasket out and give it a goof clean, but not infrequently found it standing in a pool of water in the morning. The machine sat on a tray because of…"

Does anyone have any experience of nasal valve collapse?Wondering if I have this but I don't know what the norm is.Been trying widgets that hold the nose open and it's like night and day.See More
"Wow it's the other way round for me.I found with the Sleepcube I'd often have a good bit of water still there in the morning. Today I woke up with a dry tank on the Resmed again and it's not on full heat or flow. I got it on 6…"

"A very helpful reply Jonathan. I found the pressure setting for the full face mask to be too high when I changed to a nasal mask, but perhaps I should have persisted?
I'll try again and I'll also discuss with the clinic whether an APAP…"
"Ramble alert! My history is that I spent part of each week at a different location, so bought a second machine identical to my fixed pressure NHS machine and set it up to match using the clinician menu. This was a very long time…"
"Thanks Jonathan - I had seen the YouTube video. My question is really about the experience of people who have control of their pressure settings, for example those people who have bought their machines directly and not obtained them through an NHS…"

Air Sense 10 - changing pressure settings
I have been successfully using my air sense 10 since OSA diagnosis, and my AHI is now under 2. I had an appointment with my clinic this week and have been told there is no need for further appointments and just to contact them if I need supplies or…See More
"If you have a helpful GP, I would ask them to re-refer you to the sleep clinic."
A few questions..
A quick bit of backgroundDiagnosed with OSA about 7/8 years ago by my local sleep clinic and given a F &P Icon CPAP. After a couple of follow-up appts to sort out any issues, I was sent on my merry way. I have had no further face to face…See More
"I previously had a DeVilbiss Sleepcube and the dehumidifier did sometimes run dry. On the other hand I now have an AirSense 10 and it never runs dry, and I've had the humidity turned up high."
Airsense 10 -humidifier runs dry
Hi. I'm finding the Airsense 10 the hospital gave me, the humidifier chamber runs dry. It's not even on max settings, which I'm guessing would empty it a lot quicker. Seems like a big design oversight to me. Does anyone else have this trouble? The…See More

Hi symmit - appears not ...
was it about the new Simplus mask? email me on deborah.wainwright@fphcare.co.uk
Hi Jan - I can't really tell you /how/ I got the software, however I will happily convert your data for you to reports. If you eject your memory stick and put it in the usb slot on your PC you'll see there's a FPHCARE folder, if you zip that up and email it to me I can send you back the reports, happy to do that as often as you need.
I'm not a medical professional though so I can't give any advice as to what to do with the data but I'll help you through anything.
Same goes for anyone on here!
I have the same machine as you, and wondered if you would kindly tell me where you obtained your software as my sleep clinic seems to think it costs thousands of pounds to buy!!! I am very eager to keep an eye on my condition as at my sleep test a year ago, I registered an average of 127 OSA's an hour.
Thank you for your help
Lady J
Hi Symmit - won't use your real name on here ;) So pleased you've joined us and hope you've time to share your knowledge with others and we are very lucky to have Rock Hinkle on here, who's a very clever Sleep Tech in the US., plus Ed Grandi who's in charge of the ASAA (American Sleep Apnea Assoc).
