I am also an IT Project Manager. I work for a large pharmaceutical company - supporting a suite of applications that pays the salespeople. Sounds exciting doesn't it?

I am a spoiled little brat as my husband is a stay at home dad to our 3 wonderful children ages 3 - 5.

How to read the ResMed AutoSet Spirit ...

I have ResMed AutoSet Spirit. I am very happy with it. I am using a ResMed Ultra Mirage Nasal Mask with it and I'm fairly happy with that as well. I seem to have lucked out in getting both of these the first time around. My doctor went ahead and prescribed an APAP for me and the DME sent a respirato...

Thank you for the laugh!

OH! Uncle Bob! Thank you so much for the much needed laugh. That was hysterical! I'm sure my DH will take a liking (or is it licking?) to the suggestion regarding detecting a pin hole leak in the chest wall. Thank you very much for the follow up. I'll be sure to make sure whatever I do to relieve th...

Could use your feedback to know if I'm crazy

Hello everyone. I am a relative newby. I am just finishing up my 2 week titration study at home. I was given a ResMed AutoSet Spirit with heated humidifier and a ResMed Ultra Mirage nasal mask.

Sleepless ... I just had the sinus roto-rooter done in December. I had it done because of chronic sinusitis and the sickness that results from that, but also in the hopes that it would help with my snoring and such. It didn't help much with my snoring, but I have seen definite benefits from being ab...

Had my tonsils out, too ...

I had my tonsils out the year I turned 30. My suggestion to you is to ask for liquid form of pain pills (Vicadin is what I got). There is also a gargle that they can prescribe that helps numb your throat so that you can stand to swallow the medicine. I don't want to scare you, but my pain was so bad...

That's pretty high. My sats were dropping to 85%. I had been putting off getting tested because I had other me...
