Re: Home sleep study vs hospital sleep study

Two months ago: The home sleep study results finally came back. Let's get the raw data from that. What unit did they use? Thanks very much for all this, Morbius! I'll send fax's from the Internet and I'm going to request the raw data from both the home and hospital study (though I don't know whethe...

Re: Home sleep study vs hospital sleep study

Thanks very much , Morbius. I'm wondering what SWJ is, and what the significance of the central apnea is. I'm wondering if I need CPAP. The people at the DME seem to be idiots, and I don't think my family doctor knows that much about it either. I'm going to have to contact the hospital directly to g...

Re: Feeling kinda insulted

I am feeling quite happy to be wearing a size small resmed F10 full face mask. It has been a few years since I could fit into anything labeled size small.

Re: Cat bites mask/hose and turns off machine

My son-in-law uses cpap. A few months ago their two-year-old chewed a hole in the hose. I'm not sure how they keep him from pressing the buttons.

Re: Run time Airsense 10 Autoset

I'm picking up a new Resmed A 10 auto set For Her in a couple of days. I will definitely check this out, preferably before I get it home , assuming the DME let's me get at the controls while I'm in their office. They seem to be a sleazy outfit and I don't trust them about anything. I hope they don't...

Re: Home sleep study vs hospital sleep study

Here is my data from last night. I couldn't sleep, so I took the mask off for awhile, then changed the pressure range to 6-8 (It had been 4 - 16). I got back to sleep and woke up feeling surprisingly refreshed. And I didn't have ANY OA events. (I had 1 hypopnea). This is the first time I haven't had...

Either all the files from the SD card or the export from SH.

OK, I put the stuff from the Resmed card on dropbox. Here is the link:

Re: Effexor and waking up early/nausea/shaky/headache

Do you take the Effexor once a day? I take Effexor morning and evening. If I forget the evening dose I usually have strange dreams that night. I haven't noticed any of the symptoms you mention.

Masks are for sleeping...why do you wear it for reading?

I fall asleep while reading. It is the only way I can get to sleep.

Re: Home sleep study vs hospital sleep study

The DME phoned on Thursday and told me the Resmed F10 for her they ordered for me is in... I had made up my mind to go ahead and buy the damned thing since my extended health plan will pay 95% of the exorbitant price the DME is charging ($2300). Yeah that's a bit steep. You should get it from cpap....

Well it would probably be a good weight loss technique if nothing else.
