[/quote] What I learned in my journey is it's 80% what you eat (I'm doing low carb in that I'm diabetic) and 20% exercise. I've proven that to myself in that I walked 3 to 4 miles a day for years and gained weight doing it. Not until I changed my eating habits did my weight change... FWIW JeffH[/quo...

Good luck, all!

Amen to that, I don't miss the morning dry mouth and headaches one bit.

My sleep doctor told me a couple of months back that any amount of weight loss would help my OSA, at the time I didn't really think it would make as much difference as it has. Since I started an exercise program on March 1st I have lost almost 30 pounds, the changes in my nightly numbers are below. ...

After years of sleep apnea and feeling lethargic all the time, I recently received my first machine. Now I am wondering how long on average might it take for my body to feel rested? I started therapy late last December and until I started getting 6-7 hours of uninterrupted sleep a night I couldn't ...

Hi, I'm not sure how to find the answer to this in a search. I have the S9 and wanted to know what is happening during the night with the apneas that are reported. For instance, if my readings are AHI 1.6, AI .7, CI .6 is that indicating that these are just happening or that they happened and the m...

Hmmm. Sounds like it's a serious consideration, as the web article implied. Bummer. I wonder if the agent was oversimplifying, though. If he's right, you should be able to reapply. PS You should ugrade to the S9 if you can. I just did and like it a lot. I doubt my insurance company will want to spr...

When I was first diagnosed with OSA about 7 yrs ago I never got on board with the CPAP machine, finally last November I decided to take another shot at the therapy and have been very successful so far. About 2 years ago I attempted to get some additional life insurance thru New York Life as I alread...

Those are very good numbers for sure. After about three months of therapy I am just now getting into a routine of 0.0 for AI's with the HI's running in the 2-3 range.

I have used the liner for the last three nights. Like everyone else I had to make a few modifications to get it to fit me but after that it has worked pretty good. That simply means that my numbers stayed in the same range as before but my face was not as beat up the next morning. The bridge of my ...

My Resmed S8 software version 3.07.007 stops recording after about 10 hours. I normally put my mask on and lie down about 8:30 or 9PM while watching TV or reading. My software doesn't record data after about 10 hours. Any way to extend this time? Engransan I have never slept for 10 hours in a 24 hr...

My sleep study showed that I needed 15 for my max pressure. At my one month appointment the sleep doctor moved it up to 17 because I was bumping up against the 15 too much. Today is my 3 month aniversary with the therapy. When I went to my appointment last Monday the 15th I had lost over 10 pounds s...

Hi I would like to buy a copy of ResScan Software version 3.7 for the S8 Elite II Cpap. I need complaince for my job, and it's getting to be a pain getting it from the company through the mail. I would like to get it myself. If anyone can help, I would be so thankful. This link is for the software ...

So I have a VPAP IV ST + ResLink + ResScan, I hate that software is there a way to export the data to excel or cvs? not necessarly from the software, but maybe a script that will process the data file? Thanks M I have done it from the ResScan software...select 'export' in the ResScan software & it ...

For those of you that have used both what are the differences between versions 3.10 and 3.7 of ResScan? I am trying to figure out if its worth the $$ to upgrade to the 3.10.

Hi, I have the Forma FFM in a small. I really like this mask but I am wondering if I need a medium in it. It feels tight on my nose and is making a red place where it rests on the bridge of my nose. My question is does anyone know if I can just buy a new medium cushion and silicone seal to put in m...
