I have been reading some unfavorable reviews of Aerocare/AdaptHealth recently and want to add another one. I ordered my regular supplies about a month ago, and for the past four weeks I've been getting messages from Aerocare saying that some of the supplies are not yet available and they will ship w...

Thanks to everyone who answered my question about the need for the CPAP machine during or after upper and lower endoscopies. Sounds like II probably don't need it. Now all I need is for the results of those tests to be negative (and to get past the disgusting prep).

It's time for the every-ten-years colonoscopy (and in my case, upper GI endoscopy). It was during the last one that the sleep apnea was discovered since they needed to use a device in my nose to give me more air. I have told the clinic I have known sleep apnea and will ask them specifically if I nee...

With regards to the question about whether I am getting REM sleep with my new machine/settings, I still dream...but I don't scream (sorry, couldn't resist the rhyme). Seriously, the dreams seem to be less upsetting, although I do have recurring themes in my dreams. As someone else said: just be grat...

I have been using some sort of therapy for sleep apnea for about 10 years. Started out with APAP, still had high AHIs, was told BiPap would fix things. It didn't. Still had high AHIs, as well as what appeared to be REM Sleep Behavior Disorder. I would let out blood-curdling screams in the middle of ...

I think most of the things you need to know have been covered. I traveled to the UK last year and had no problem using my machine anywhere with the proper plug adapter. I was puzzled that I couldn't find distilled water so used tap water, which did leave deposits in my humidifier chamber. And I did ...

Reformatting the card did the trick. Last's night data was there in all its detail. Interesting that the previous days of use had a summary AHI but no detail. Also interesting that the Oscar software showed a slightly lower AHI than the Resmed software shows. Different algorithms, I guess. In any ca...

Thank you, Dog Slobber. I've reformatted the card and hopefully that will take care of the problem. I'll look to see if it has recorded anything from tonight's session tomorrow.

OK, I guess the consensus is to put the card in the computer and clean off the old data and try again. LSAT, my conclusion that the machine was not writing new data on the card was because all the file dates are much older, and the card says formatted for one of the two older machines I had (one a R...

Also, this is my first time with a ResMed machine, am used to Respironics where data would overwrite what was on the card. I double-checked that the card lock was not preventing data being written.

There is old data on the cards, from previous machines. When I insert either of the two cards into the machine, an orange light flashes as if it is re-formatting the card, but when I insert the card into a card reader, the old data remains and there is nothing written with the current date. I did wa...

So I've had about a week with my new Resmed Airsense 10 For Her, just set to straight CPAP, and, for the first time in the 10 years I've been using a machine, have daily AHIs under 5. That's the very good news (keeping fingers, toes and paws crossed it continues). However, I don't like the dumbed-do...

Thanks, Pugsy! This is the one I was leaning towards anyway, but I'm glad to know you are happy with it, and I also think having the extra algorithm can't hurt and might make things better.

Just had a sleep study which puts me back on CPAP (from BiPap, which was ineffective and giving me terrible readings). My research says that the Airsense 10 (For Her - does the algorithm for women really make a difference) and the Dreamstation Auto CPAP are the two top contenders. I have had Respiro...

I do have a full face mask I can try, and will do that. Never got it to be comfortable enough to keep wearing, though. I've tried several of them.
