Re: Back Pain is.. Back! Really frustrated!

A few years back, I started having back pain too and used ibuprofen to help, but it only worked for a little while. When the pain came back, I knew I needed a better solution. That's when I thought about trying physiotherapy. About six months ago, I decided to see a physiotherapist named Humna Aziz....

Re: Sticky: Phillips Respironics recent recall notice discussion thread

Yes I do expect that, especially since its under warrantee. Secondly because my life depends on it. You must still believe in Santa Claus if you believe Philips is going to replace everyone's machine with another manufacturer. It would still take a upwards of a year for another manufacturer to make...

Re: First month on new ASV

Ive been on ASV since November, I was told Id have to use a full face mask for ASV because theres no way to control your mouth opening while you sleep, and I do as a matter of fact. My numbers got from .46 up to 4 and never have really gotten stable, but are less than 5. Id rather they were less but...

I recently changed my Setting to: PS to min-5, max 15 Epap to minimum 7, MAX 25 I didn't see an IPAP choice. (Mu...

Re: Doctor Closing his doors for good.

This doctor was the same one who examined my heart, hes a really good Dr. Its a win/win for me because not only can he monitor everything but keep an eye on my heart too. This is the office I visited when I was having breathing problems and heart racing going on. Plus hes a lot closer and very hands...

Aside from my Primary Care Doc, I haven't used a "sleep doctor" in 10 years
I wouldn't worry about it except I just started ASV treatment and it hasn't stabilized yet (still high hypopneas, centrals/obstructives have dropped to zero) and I have to watch my heart through all this.

Odd. A competitor of our refuse company had sent out letters to their customers,
stating that they had been closed and offering to " help".
Piracy, pure and simple.
Make sure that is not the case.
Thanks, will verify

Doctor Closing his doors for good.

Out of the blue, I get an email saying as of November 1st, I no longer have a Doctor and I need to get another as soon as possible. Already working on it, but the funny thing, is the letter says the company had been sold back in June and operating under another name and they elected to close up shop...
