My Interest in Sleep Apnea
I have Sleep Apnea
Treatment Being Used, if any
Auto-Adjusting CPAP
If Machine Being Used, What Type? (e.g., Respironics M Series with A-Flex Auto-Adjusting CPAP)
I'm in the process of buying one. I'm an American, living in Taiwan. CPAP machines are double the price here. I’ve tried two brands. The first one was an Apex (Taiwan made) with a Respironics mask. I hated the mask design and the Apex wasn’t an auto start machine so I'd wake up feeling like I was suffocating. I then tried the ResMed S8 elite with their soft gel mask. Much, much better. Now I have to return the S8 to ResMed because the free trial is over. I’ve been checking different sites to order from. Do you think I’d be taking a chance getting ResMed’s new S9 elite because it’s a brand new machine? By the way, I was diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
If Mask Being Used, What Type? (e.g., ResMed Activa Nasal Mask)
The ResMed Mirage™ SoftGel Nasal Mask

    The S8 Escape II is a compliance data capable only CPAP. The S8 Elite II is a fully data capable CPAP. The S8 AutoSet II is a fully data capable APAP.
