Re: New Here- Anyone experience chest/ lung tension?

You sound a lot like me, right down to all of the stress. I spent two and a half years fighting and being incorrectly treated for what endo #1 thought was Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Long story short, endo #3 (there was an equally worthless #2 in the middle) took a look at all of my data, said it didn'...

Re: Another ResScan Anomaly Question

If you read through ALL the different usages that have-been/are-now made for analysis software that have been described here over the years, you will see its not that simple for quite few applications of the software for specific purposes. Everything I've discussed has to do with collecting and sto...

Re: Increase in DME Prices under Obama Care !

Nope. Not Hawaii. We already sold that to the Japanese. Ironic, eh? They couldn't get Hawaii by bombing it, all they had to do was buy it. That's 20-year-old information. The Japanese economy hit the skids in the 1990s and some of the first things to go were their holdings in Hawaii. They still own...

Re: Another ResScan Anomaly Question

I guess ResScan isn't smart enough to gracefully deal with additional data within the same day. How is ResScan going to determine what your personal desires are in terms of data management? Telepathy features in software are notoriously difficult to implement No telepathy required. Like every other...

Re: Another ResScan Anomaly Question

Be careful how you use overwrite. If the machine has removed older detailed data to make room for newer, the summaries from older sessions will still be on the card. ResScan will see those summaries, and if you overwrite them, any detailed data stored on your computer for the same dates will go kerf...

Re: Tonite is first night on CPAP (BIPAP)--few questions please

1. I thought it would make a constant sound -- but most of the sound is during inhalation, I guess because higher pressure is needed then. Is this sound pattern normal? Yep. I'm on an APAP with EPR, and it pretty much follows my breathing pattern. If you're on a fixed CPAP, it will run continuously...

Re: What do you call yours?

My daughter was 9 when I got my set-up, she called it the "anti-fart smeller" john That's really funny, because one of the things I said to my wife as I was setting the machine up at home was "you know, of course, that this setup makes it all but impossible for me to be subjected to the Dutch oven....

Re: Increase in DME Prices under Obama Care !

Yes the FSA plans have always had stupid restrictions like you have to use all the money that year. Under our current tax system, FSA balances carried across years would be considered deferred compensation when it was used. That creates a tax liability for the employee that the employer isn't allow...

It might be a little late, but you might want to see if the DME can do your fitting and setup at their office. Mine said the RT would only have a few masks if she came out to my house; but at their place she had access to everything they carried.

Auto and the numbered humidity settings are mutually-exclusive. The heater in the humidifier is automatically controlled by the S9 and is n...

Re: Thoughts on a good lubricant?

Funny you should start this thread, I've noticed the same squeakiness in my mask over the last couple of nights.

Food-grade silicone grease or liquid spray can be had at most dive shops. Don't get the stuff at computer stores, because you don't want to know what's in it.

For FFM users, it does save having to get up for a midnight snack.
