Re: Important Jason/AXG video
I was prescribed bilevel and used autobilevel. But once ResMed perfected their EPR, I switched to APAP with EPR. Why? Partly for cost reasons, partly in reaction to weight loss, and partly because I like that EPR suspends when no flow is detected and because I really like the reasoning behind that a...

Re: Important Jason/AXG video
I won't/don't watch. Sorry. Once a sleep doc writes the Rx, he or she has basically done his or her job in the U.S. He or she has likely never used PAP personally and so has little to no idea what it is like or about in practice. The techs are for testing, not for treating. Unfortunately, the averag...

Re: Is Uncle Nick losing it, or onto something again?
y'all have a *history*. Nope. He made his own history in how he treated people, all on his own--as the links in this forum clearly show. modem-wary? Not I. The C2C was dependable, cheap, and available. I love the automatic nature and convenience of MyAir, when I use a machine with a modem . Natural...

Re: Is Uncle Nick losing it, or onto something again?
I don't watch his videos. On principle.
So I'm not aware what he's lost or what he's on.

Re: I’ll settle the debate on AHI for UARS folks
When you've lived in Brooklyn as long I did, anything above mid-Bronx is "Upstate." But I was going for the predicate adjective "upstate" as a direction, as in "further up the state." Now I go to Nyack much more often than I do DUMBO. Although at the moment I'm in WV, disguised as a non-Yankee for s...

Re: Advice for first time sleeping on airplane w/cpap?
My advice:
1. Take a nap using CPAP just before heading to the airport. 2. Take a nap on CPAP as soon as possible after landing.
Sleeping deeply in a crowd of strangers is something I'm not all that comfortable with at any altitude.
Hey, just me.

Re: OT; the other sleep demons that haunt our nights
My experience has been that allergy shots, when done right, can do much good and can provide significant relief for years. On the other hand, I once had a bad experience with some serious face-swelling around the eyes in the hours immediately following a shot that was a bump up in shot strength and ...

Re: I’ll settle the debate on AHI for UARS folks
In NC this weekend for a funeral. Be safe in the city and keep it tween the gutters, my friend. Sorry to hear that. FYI BNY on May 5th. LMK if you'll be in the neighborhood. Hey, it was a great funeral! I rarely ever hit the old neighborhood these days, though, now that my primary residence is upst...

Re: I’ll settle the debate on AHI for UARS folks
Free CPAPs for everyone. But... Maybe make it an ASV cranked up high enough to hide my heartbeat and I'll think about it. I just need a couple Clif bars and a Gatorade (it's THAT weekend again!) In NC this weekend for a funeral. Be safe in the city and keep it tween the gutters, my friend.

Re: Agressive cat
Do whatever the cat says. The last person in this forum who had a serious run-in with a cat was never heard from again. Maybe eventually try explaining directly to the cat the full purpose behind CPAP and the necessary reason for mask venting, a sound that may sound to cat ears suspiciously like cat...
