Re: Sleepyhead says humidifier disconnected?

Mine's been showing up as disconnected with both PRS1 460 and 560 machines. It's hit or miss, mostly miss. I ran through an entire preheated tank of water last night so it does seem to be working despite SH saying not connected.

Re: Medicare Payment of Oral Appliance & CPAP

Cpap has no negative effect on my glaucoma. If anything, my eye pressure is better with cpap. Some masks allow air leakage to flow by my eyes, making them even drier than the side effects of my glaucoma eye drops. (I would have to move to Colorado to quit the drops.). Just curious if you've seen th...

Re: emergency use of APAP machine

I just switched from a CPAP to APAP machine and have found I am averaging 2-3 points lower pressure than when I was on 14 cm CPAP. This has helped to almost eliminate any leaks I was having and I think is working better overall. It's taking a little time to adjust to the lower pressure but AHI/RDI n...

Re: Backpacking, Hiking and Camping - the PowerAdd Pilot Pro

I got an email from the seller asking me if I wanted a replacement but I'm not going to waste my time on it. It's unfortunate that the old battery is not usable, perhaps someone can shed some li...

Re: recovery of mental abilities

... but I still am not picking up the different technology as quickly as I (or my boss) would like and that's always been easy for me before. Told him about the diagnosis, but he clearly doesn't want to hear about it. In fact he's rarely around and evidently still thinks I fall asleep (I don't), an...

Re: Cpap for sale

For those people who aren't aware of what the 460 machine does....it is more than a fixed cpap pressure machine. There is limited apap trial capabilities with it. 30 days apap with the ability to be reset up to 5 times I think it is. correct me if I'm wrong, but that limited apap ability is more of...
