Re: jolting - waking up and insomnia or not using cpap
Zonker is right. The good thing about this therapy is you can get actual data to see what's going on with your treatment instead of wondering and guessing. if you have perhaps started having central events, it will show in your machine data. Sounds like data is going to be key in you optimizing your...

Re: Used Dreamstation
The last time I shipped one it was just under $25. I will get a better idea when the person who sets up the shipping is available, probably tomorrow.

Used Dreamstation
I know there was a recall, but just in case these things aren't all dangerous, I picked one up at a yard sale for 8 bucks. The guy said he was using it with no problems but his provider gave him a new ResMed due to the recall. Did I just throw away the 8 bucks or does anybody want it for the price o...

Re: Hallelujah, I've Been Cured Father...
My old recording oximeter bit the dust and have been looking at replacements and considering the features of different models, like an alarm if the oxygen drops. Think I saw one that alarms if the respirations drop. If I had CSA I wouldn't sleep without a machine without wearing an oximeter, but tha...

Re: CPAP tiredness.
When I first got started I can best describe what I experienced as "I crashed". Don't know if it was the new lack of adrenaline, catching up on lost sleep, or what, but it felt like once I leaned into having non dangerous sleep I couldn't get enough of it - for months. I think of it as a recovery. U...

Re: Sleep Apnea Short term? Constructive recommendations only
Occasionally I have been known to dredged up archaic curses from the distant past, combined them with current profanity and worked in a half dozen crude anatomical references, embellished those with all the known vulgarities related to bodily functions and finally wove all these elements into a wov...

Re: Could you please take a look at my sleep study?
Glad to see you working to address things. I don't have the guidelines at hand of the number of limb movements needed to merit a diagnosis of PLMD. But if you were also having UARS arousals during the same study, both conditions could be under represented on the results as they would both be vying f...

Re: Using CPAP for 7 years but still have brain fog
Basically, my doctors have no idea why I don't sleep well, despite low AHI every night. Can you fully describe "don't sleep well"? Sometimes there can be clues in the minutest of details. Maybe you have other yet unrecognized contributors to how you feel. Some common sleep disruptors are various ty...

Re: Recently diagnosed, first week on cpap with really high AHI readings. Advice needed!
While you're waiting on those who are good at data stuff, I'll just say in general that seeing a high AHI when a lot of time is spent awake is not necessarily of concern. Seeing them during sleep time is when there could be issues needing resolved. Our CPAPs can't tell if we are awake or asleep and ...

Re: Cluster of sleep issues
A negative sleep study report is only as good as the night's sleep one had. In discerning whether to reasonably trust results, ask a few questions. Was there enough sleep? Was there enough sleep in REM? Did breathing change with position, and was there a significant time while supine? This is a gene...

Re: Could you please take a look at my sleep study?
Hi - welcome back! We talked quite extensively back when you were trying to sort through this stuff a couple years ago. I don't have anything different to add, just a mention that people who do happen to have dual disorders of PLMD and OSA may not be able to rely on a sleep study to fully appreciate...

Re: Is brain damage due to sleep apnea reversible?
I'll just add my anecdotal evidence that you have reason to be hopeful about achieving improved cognitive function as healthy sleep provides your brain opportunity to heal. Fifteen years ago I had to stop cooking and driving for safety concerns, and went out on disability because my brain was not ab...

Re: Still having trouble sleeping
While others are working to discern if there;s something with your CPAP treatment that could be improved, I want to throw out something that is a long shot but worth mentioning. Do you have any problems with jumpy legs, or have you been diagnosed as having periodic limb movements? Does your wife rep...

Eclipse Mask intro video in Less Than an Hour
Got an email from Stuart that they will be live on their website today for the Eclipse pre-marketing launch at 9am EST. I did the product trial and loved the new things they did to make the Bleep evolve into the Eclipse. If this no-headgear product interests you, check them out. Got almost an hour t...
