On New Year's Eve I went and visited a lady-friend of mine in another town 50 miles away. I whined and moaned and told her that I wished I had a backup CPAP+humidifer for when my main machine broke. It will do this eventually as I have learned that everything chnages. I also said I would keep it in ...

I seem to enjoy experiencing chronic life threatening illnesses as I do it frequently. I have done/am doing living with severe mental illness, alcoholism, end stage renal disease (kidney failure) and sleep apnea. Each one of these is a known killer. And as I hang out in the support groups associated...

There is something on the Sleep Apnea Wiki which needs updating with Bill' suggestions. I've added a message, based on my reply to Slinky but expanded a bit to make sense in the context of that thread, to "the best way" link on that wiki entry.... http://www.cpaptalk.com/viewtopic.php?p=220674#2206...

My question is what do you want to use this data for? How often do you actually go back and want to acess it? I have tons of data scattered between various cards and two computers. Some of it is on my laptop which I took to the hospital, some on the computer next to my bed. But I am not sufficently ...

Was someone else, Slinky. Catnapper, perhaps? I've never posted anything myself about cleaning a Smart Card, but like you, I remember reading that at some time.

I have been having a lot of trouble with sleep patterns and leak rates recntly and am feeling very tired. So I took a nap this afternoon lying on my back rather than my usual side. The reults http://www.mudie.info/energy/images/071028%20encorepro.jpg show a nice low leak rate but a surprisingly high...

I have been writing a lot of Visual Basic code developing tools to interpret the blob. I can now see the difference between runs and see what changes happen during a run. I have made some runs with a partially blocked hose so as to minimize changes and have started making a Data Dictionary. So far h...

OK, auto-titrate 9-16 it is for a week. I am off the pain meds but sleep patterns are not good. Sleep for an hour, wake up and play with computer, sleep another hour, short wake up and then long sleep. I think I am mostly doing side sleeping but the foot is still hurting slightly The doc upped my om...

When I first got things working about three or four months ago, I was steadily scoring AHI's under 1.0. It has steadily been increasing until last night it got to 8.3 . Here is the data...... http://www.mudie.info/dreamsharing/recovery/energy/images/070913%20ep%20results.JPG ...........................

Well I have found a kind of solution for my tiredness problem but its not one I recommend for others. I went and got a major foot surgery and am not supposed to put any weight on my foot for six weeks. So I lie on my bed most of the time and because I am lying in bed, I don't feel tired!!!! So the t...

For most of the last three or four months my AHI was hovering around one. Last week I got a foot rebuild (John's surgery Adventure) and am now living in a skilled nursing facility with only one functional foot. Of course I have had many adventures moving my trusty M-series around but am now getting ...

I disagree.

I experienced Breath Stacking and disabled my C-Flex and have kept it off.

I felt thrilled today when I opened a box and found an Optilife from SisterShotgun in it, her part of a trade we are doing.

Thanks Sister

I take meds for depression, bipolar, and schizophrenia. I am sure CPAP therapy will not help me! Psychologically anyway. A lot of people on antidepressants really don't need them or there is a fixable cause for their "depression". There is scientifc evidence that people with Sleep Aonea have had th...
