Re: ResScan Software Download

FYI

ResScan is now up to version 5.5.09285

I'm not sure what changed from 5.4 to version 5.5

sleeping sitting after surgery advice

I've been diagnosed with melanoma/skin cancer on my face near my left cheekbone area. The good news is that they caught it early enough that I won't need chemo or lymph node treatment. The overall incision to remove the cancer is going to cover a significant part of my left cheek. (Approximately a 1...

Re: Best Full Face Mask For High Pressure Bipap

I've been using the Mirage Quattro for more than 3 years now with higher pressures. I started out with Bi-pap pressures over 20, but I'm now slightly lower with a 19 IPAP and 14.4 EPAP. I've tried the various new Resmed and Simplus masks that have come out over the past few years, but I keep going b...

Re: Sleepyhead vs Resscan

Has anyone heard any updates or work on Sleepyhead from JediMark?



it's been more than a year since the last update to the software. As best I can tell, its been more than 6 months since there were any responses to inquiries posted over at Source Forge website.

Re: Sleepyhead vs Resscan

I'm still using both Resscan & SH after 3 1/2 years on the hose.

Resscan runs much better in the latest version.... it runs quite nicely on my Windows 7 machine.

I too keep Resscan around mainly to verify things before my semi annual sleep doc visit

Re: Nothing working mask made tinnitus worse

I've got fairly high pressures.... 19 IPAP and 14.4 EPAP with a Mirage Quattro FFM. My tinnitus was dramatically reduced after I started CPAP therapy. The volume level on our TV got turned way down after about 2 months of CPAP use. I do notice that the buzzing seems to get louder when I am very tire...

Re: Bringing or Obtaining Distilled Water on a Cruise?

I've done 2 cruises in the past year... the room attendant was happy to give me a gallon of distilled water... AND he helped with taping my extension cord down to the carpeting to prevent tripping over it during the day

Re: Reordering supplies craziness.

I'm on my 2nd hose in 3 years... My original 1st hose was replaced because I accidentally poked a hole in it near the connector. I washed one hose after opening the package, but they've never been washed since.. I use a light weight fleece cover on my hose that gets washed semi-weekly with laundry. ...

Re: Waking up and not being able to fall back asleep at night

I totally agree... Sleepyhead regularly shows that my pulse rate & respiration rate spike when I go into REM. I just got back from visiting the other ENT. He mentioned that since I don't have issues during the day that the deviated septum may not be the issue that is causing me to wake up. He sugges...

Re: So Very New

yes, reducing your humidity may help...... it pays to watch the weather in your area & periodically adjust the humidifier settings accordingly.

My humidifier is set much higher during the winter and is practically off during the summer

Re: Padacheek dyed mask. Isn't ruined?

hmmm, I've used every color pad-a-cheek liner there is & never washed them before the 1st use.... I've never experienced any dying of my cushion. I too suspect that something in your wipes may have triggered it. FWIW.... Cushions & Liners are all the same color when you turn out the lights and go to...

Re: One year on with CPAP - lessons learned

Almost immediately, I stopped needing the middle of the night bathroom run... But I didn't notice any other changes until almost 6 months into my CPAP therapy... however, my wife noticed definite improvements in my mood within 60 days! There was a time around the 6-7 month period where it felt like ...

Re: When people say "My travel machine ..."

I hated unplugging all the cords & packing it up every time I traveled for business or on vacation.. My travel machine is a duplicate of my primary machine (Resmed S9 VPAP), including the H5i humidifier. I bought it brand new from second wind outside of insurance with a tax refund check. When I get ...
