Re: Deviated Septum but no Sleep Apnea
Cpap keeps your throat open, not your nose.

Re: Epr and flow limitations
Does it matter why it happens?
I would just set the min. pressure a bit higher and maybe it will help.

Re: Cleaning (AGAIN???)
99% of us never (or soo rarely) clean the hoses - nothing but air ever goes thru them at any time.

Re: First-time CPAP Machine Help (Newly Diagnosed OSA)!
Even if the DME's had some way to see your data, tho' nothing at all as comprehensive as Oscar, they are NOT MDs and cannot prescribe anything, whatever they tell you, plus while they know the machines, they don't know medicine, tho' always want to advise. Please don't take your info from them.

Re: For those running APAP with a narrow range.....
But do you understand by having the max setting at 12 it could keep the min. pressure from rising any higher if needed?

Re: Just diagnosed / Luna G3
Reactive is good in this place, and Apap is proactive if used correctly. Most people find that 4 is hard to breathe at tho' so generally move it 6-7 (and leave the max setting at 20, which is more usual than 15 here). Luna is not usual here tho', only overseas, so most also are unfamiliar with it ex...

Re: Questions about new equipment and using a medical supply place
I would ask if they can send it back to you... or else ask your MD if they can write a new one. But you also need to ask your insce co. which dealers (we call them DME's) they support.

Re: “Failed” Cpap Machines, doctor says he doesn’t know what to do.
Were they clear about trying to back-sleep vs side sleep to bring down your hypopneas that usually are worse if back sleeping? There are ways to keep from doing it.

Re: Supplement lowering my AHI, but more fatigued
Just looked up what VIP NS is and it sounds like one of those old fashioned tonics that claimed to cure everything on the planet... Wouldn't be my first choice of a med, but if it 'works' for you, enjoy :) . And an MD who dx's CFS based on Cpap not working should be shot at dawn. Maybe you need a ne...

Have you looked at that link - no particular med. named. When did you get the chronic fatigue dx?

Re: Need help with high leak rate (30 L/m) please
Going by others' experience, I'd say the beard is a major part of the blame - others have had to shave tho' they didn't want to.
