Re: Can this be palatal prolapse?

It's important to get the pressure graph in there - yours is sort of stuck at the bottom, not really visible...

Re: Debris in the Water Tank

SC is garbage and you don't want ozone fumes in your lungs! Google the residue from their filters and see if you get any hits.

Re: Elderly mom, balky, and her Luna machine

Are you aware that EPR at 3 can lower the effect of min. pressure by up to 3 pts? That might have something to do with her not seeming to improve even tho' she raised the min.

Re: OT: Heads up on my personal issues

When I was a kid I read a book about a monkey called Toby (can't remember if it was Kipling, or ??) who did not have a good end... but when my uncle married a Toby I was so happy :) .

I can't believe Cpap is giving you even half the energy you are obviously using - maybe you should give classes for the rest of us!

Re: DreamStation CPAP Pro with Auto-Trial IAH

Have you ever tried Apap vs Cpap mode? With more options for adjusting min. and max pressures, etc?

Re: In the UK.....Is it my heart, or my sleep-- or both?

I would push harder to get some cardiac testing or whatever's available to you there, not suggesting any of the above should be ignored. The apnea as a possible problem with EDS is one thing, but I'd want to know more about the cardiac issues first, at whatever cost you can manage at all.

Sure, and I'd like lots of things, but you have to start somewhere to get him better than he is now.
