Re: Silent Nite titration; home study?
"There are plenty of tricks and adjustments for making it work." Yes, I've done lots of research here, and got good numbers from my CPAP. But for numerous reasons I can't keep it on all night. Not interested in discussing CPAP vs OA anymore, or how to make CPAP work; just looking for info about how ...

Re: Silent Nite titration; home study?
Thanks for the reply; I agree that CPAP is clearly the superior treatment. Unfortunately, I've been trying for years to use it (trying different models, types of masks, etc), and am unable to keep it on all night. I have read several studies that show that OAs--though not as effective as CPAP--can b...

Silent Nite titration; home study?
I have mild to moderate OSA; and have a sibling who has had very good results (confirmed by sleep study) with Silent Nite OA. I've been fitted for a SN appliance, but my insurance won't pay for it or for a study with it. Haven't been able to find much info about titration...it came with two sizes of...

Dry mouth, stomach pain with CPAP
I've been diagnosed with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. In the past I've had trouble wearing CPAP at night; just the general annoyance but especially stomach pain and severe dry mouth. I just got a ResMed S9 Autoset, trying to improve compliance, hoping that the auto titration will help. ...

Re: How to choose CPAP machine after sleep study?
I like flowers fine, and if the "for her" model is cheaper that sounds good...the ResMed site claims that model has "gender specific algorithms" though, not sure what to make of that.

Ah, well I just checked and apparently I'm male, so this one should be good, eh?

Re: How to choose CPAP machine after sleep study?
Thanks Pugsy and chunkyfrog!
So "autoset" is the term I should look for? What are the "for her" features?

Re: How to choose CPAP machine after sleep study?
If money is a problem, look at Secondwind.com. They have a gently used Resmed S9 Autoset for her (with humidifier) for $379. This is a great deal. The S9 was/is a great machine and is data capable. Stay away from any Resmed machine that says Escape. Sheriff Good to know about that site--new to me. ...

Re: Looking for home test info
I'm not looking for advice on whether I should or shouldn't do home testing. I'm curious to hear about what products are available, and if anyone here has opinions and/or experiences about the products. Did you read my post above?

Looking for home test info
I did a search but didn't find too much (please post links though if I missed something). I'm curious about home sleep apnea testing; what products are available, what's recommended, any experiences folks here have had with them. I've had overnight studies (last one showed mild to moderate OSA), and...

Silent Nite mouthpiece question
Looking for suggestions on finding a dentist in the Los Angeles area to fit (and purchase) a Silent Nite oral appliance. Is this something most dentists shouldn't have a problem with, or should I seek a specialist? (I have mild to moderate OSA; haven't had luck with CPAP, and have a sibling who has ...
