Re: Starting soon and feeling angry embarrassed and not for the reasons that come up in searches.

Terrific posts from robysue1. A few additional thoughts: If you use a hose cozy, you can also use a safety pin through the cozy to secure the hose to your bottom sheet so you don't accidentally tug on it too hard. I felt very "private" about my need for CPAP when I started, but over time I realized ...

Re: First night with the air curve 11

To clarify: you got out of S mode, right? Into VPAPAuto mode? Also, what were your settings on the old S9? It's fine to tell your computer to go ahead download Oscar. You won't hurt anything that way, as many thousands of users can attest. You'll need an SD card in your machine and a way for your co...

Re: High heartrate and capped upper pressure

I’d recommend that you ask your doctor for a Holter monitor to see what’s going on. I am 63 with a normal ekg and normal heart ultrasound. My ex was a holter tech and put one on me in 1985. He said my heart rate went crazy in the middle of the night. In hindsight, I have always wondered if that was...

Re: First night with the air curve 11

I think you're smart to have a plan for weaning yourself off the Zolpidem. You might want to talk with your doctor about the best way to taper. To answer your question about your AHI, we'd need more information. If you're willing to try this, you can bring up more information on your machine's scree...

Re: Very unhappy morning

Look at the front of the machine to see what it says there. From the photos on cpap.com, it looks like ResMed is no longer putting the model name on the front of the 11 models. It seems the only 11 model that is available is the 11 AutoSet. Maybe they got smart and quit producing the inferior model...

Re: Very unhappy morning

Now that you mention it, if you have a range, you don't have an Elite. Look at the front of the machine to see what it says there. Lots of people feel they don't get enough air with a pressure of 5. I'd recommend a pressure of 7; I think that will be a lot more comfortable for you. You can change yo...

Re: Very unhappy morning

Google resmed elite clinical guide, and you'll get a link to a pdf that has lots of good information. Follow the directions for entering the clinical menu (pp. 15-16), and change your Patient View from simple to advanced. Then you'll be able to see more information on your screen each morning. While...

Re: Is there anything other than ASV I could try?

I would recommend that you eliminate the late-evening snacks. Beyond that, I recommend that you start keeping a record of how you feel during the day each day, along with potentially relevant additional information. This might help you spot correlations. The potentially relevant additional informati...

Re: Pale Rider

I'm glad to hear palerider is OK. I sent Zonker a PM a while back and haven't gotten a reply. I really hope he's alright.
