He has to take Benadryl on those nights, it is the only thing that helps even slightly. Has he tried taking an aspirin with it..I do and it avoids the problem...

Re: Autoset ll Problem?

I'm thinking maybe the S8 IIs don't give us the option to use or not use the SmartStart, that we are just stuck w/that option on and working whether we like it or not. I should dig the manual out and check. When I first got it was on...when I brought into doctor fr him to download data it was turne...

Re: Autoset ll Problem?

I have the Auto Set II also and I can't figure out how to turn on the Autostart?
I know how to get into the clinical mode but the Autostart function gives me no option.
Any answers?

Re: I'm Dreaming!

Randy, You have an APAP and said you still have abdominal pain with it set to 9. APAP machines automatically adjust pressure as needed within a minimum and maximum range. You "can" use an APAP in CPAP (single steady pressure) mode by setting both high and low to the same number which is what your p...

Re: I'm Dreaming!

Absolutely amazing! I feel like I am in an action adventure that is how vivid the dreams are. But the most amazing thing to me is that I never processed that I never had dreams prior to Apap therapy-at least ones that I remember. I told my wife this morning to sleep with one eye open now since I sma...
