Several Questions tonight. My wife just started her therapy July 18, 2013. I found SleepyHead software and have been monitoring her with that program. Everything had been going well until several days ago when the AHI report stopped showing in the overview choice. I checked preferences and the AHI b...

plr66...Just a few comments on sleep items.I am a large person (300+) and have found a latex topper on a firm mattress works good.Some say memory foam but doing research memory foam does not do its thing if weight is over 250. My wife also has back problems and finds the latex topper very comfotable...

I can not see how sleep therapy can "fix" arthritis.I have been on my Bipap Auto SV since August 09.Yes,I do get much better rest without tossing and turning all night but the arthritis is still there.Well not in all the places since I have had bilateral hip replacements and just had a total knee re...

DocWeezy...I have one up on you I think.I also have both artifical hips.They have been replaced in the past 4 years.

I had a total knee replacement the 1st of October 2010.When making pre-admission call the gal said I could use a hospital machine.I said I highly doudt the hospital has a machine like mine.I use a Bipap auto SV with max IPAP of 30.She said bring my machine with,the RT department would check it out a...

Singnchef...I will try answer your questions.First as was stated you need a card reader and the software for your computer.You can find them at differant sites but I think $150.00 should cover them. Secound.You state you need a FULL FACE mask because of your pressures.Full face have more area to kee...

Age: 59 Male What is your sleep disorder? OSA,CSA How long have you had it? Diagnosed August 2009, but have snored all my life. How does it affect your sleep? Without xPAP therapy, I did not sleep well. Is there any treatment for your sleep disorder? If yes what is it? An Adaptive Servo-Ventilation ...

My 2 cents worth...My EPAP is set at 14 cmH2O.My min IPAP setting is 15 cmH2O.My max IPAP is set to 30 cmH2O.I know these pressures are high but I find the Activa LT my best mask yet.The last 2 nights I have tryed the EasyLife but have had leaks all night long. I have Complex Apnea but since startin...

Cholo...I do believe there is hope for you!!!What ever you do ,do NOT give up.I myself use the Respironics Bipap auto SV...about the same as yours just a differant brand.Yes,the cost of these machines are high but the results are unbelivable.I think once you can get some nights of therapy in your pr...

Mikeinwny....First off,do NOT give up.I also use a Auto SV with pressures higher than yours.My EPAP is set at 14.0 cm,my IPAP max is set at 30.0 cm.I do have my Backup rate set on 10 bpm.I have used the Resmed Softgel,the activa and the one I like best is the Activa LT.I also use a chin strap.My ave...

I am using several different ResMed nasal masks.I know you can interchange the softgel and the Activa LT cushions.Looking at my Activa(the one with the short elephant hose)it looks like it is the same as the Actvia LT.Has anyone tryed or know if you can use the Activa cushion on the Softgel/Activa L...

grumpygirl....on looking thru the web sites I came across this "wedge" that looks awsome.
http://www.mediwedge.com/ It would do about the same thing as using blocks under the head of the bed but would look a whole lot better.

Wes

dtsm...since you suggested the EasyLife by Respironics,do you use this mask??I have been watching for reviews on it but not many out yet.Myself,I use the Resmed Softgel with great success.Sometimes you need to pick a mask according to your pressures.Dr.Parks says nasal prongs are not for high pressu...
