![]() ![]() Why wait on anyone to get around to scheduling you or dragging anything out when you can get a basic diagnosis accomplished in days. I would encourage you to start with a simple home sleep testing device, which can be achieved by this weekend for under $200 with results by next week. I apologize if this has created more confusion. Were they not supposed say anything? Give no comparison, while you drove the message in whatever direction you were steering it? What would have been a good comparison? How would you have parsed together a response? That would be kind of interesting seeing you in the their shoes. And really, afterall, you raised the question on cost. Around 20% is probably kissing the cash side of the business. Ergo the suitable comparison, based on cash costs from the largest DTC seller in the US, ONLY AFTER insurance HCPCS Codes were offered prior to that for reimbursement. The US is and always has been primarily an insurance based system more than 80% of the industry is directed to use this system. This is simple to both verify and inquire about. They only have FDA clearance to market, so can only be sold and provided inside the US. That said, our products are ONLY sold in the US. Making an argument, then supporting your argument with data from a company (resmed) that is willing to post conflicting Angel and Devil recommendations (and I can attest it's based on money and profit), then ignoring your support mechanism when you find out it isn't as factual as you thought. But no, then you spin it as it that's our mistake and problem to deal with. Funny what happens when something suddenly doesn't fit the narrative anymore. Why don't you engage them and call them out for that with the same diligence you offer here? I mean it was you that raised the issue by posting an Aussie Resmed link and brought it into a conversation clearly focused on the US market and then dumped it back in here by commenting "we have no reliable criteria" when you found out the US resmed site wasn't the same and supported what others on this thread had suggested. But that said, I certainly haven't seen you respond back to the Resmed "mixed messages" website posting in the same manor you are here and why they are the complete opposite messages of each other in their recommendation of product replacement, particularly when one of the moderators on this forum u/wilburyan is evidently associated with resmed (assumption made, since resmed is beside their mod handle). And you're welcome to do that, nobody is stopping you. You are obfuscating a cpap mask review on Youtube by taking it in countless directions and literarily debating everything you can debate. Were you mild, moderate or severe with your diagnosis? Is the mask staying sealed? Both can be arousal nightmares for patients. ![]() AND you need to check your mouth tape in the morning by blowing against it to confirm it didn't leak. Although, I would seriously consider mouth taping in conjunction with this to prove out the leak issue. Lateral sleeping will reduce mouth drop and gravity is far more your friend on your side, where your jaw can't drop and take your tongue further into the airway, so less pressure is needed, which leads to less mouth leak, which leads to less sleep fragmentation. Lastly, try and positional therapy treat yourself by using 2-3 tennis balls in a sock and safety pinning it across your shirt at the shoulders and spine to keep yourself off your back. Given your AHI is already around 0.5, I would wager your mouth is the culprit and is waking you up like snore arousals would where you AROUSAL Index is 15-25 times/hr. The more leaks in the circuit the more it misidentifies issues and false scores data that isn't real. As a test, I would encourage you to try and mouth tape entirely to see if your leaks don't immediately go away.ĬPAP data is not always accurate. If you can't leaks under control they can wreck your sleep. It very well could be that your leaks are blowing your mouth open, if on a nasal mask, and that is now fragmenting your sleep worse that your previous apnea. It says on your breakdown that your MAX leak was 45.
