Thanks Michael,

you said:

Central apneas and periodic breathing are two different things.

What is the difference between the two? Is my Doc or I better off knowing one vs the other?

Thanks

I have been using a Respironics S1 Auto since Feb. My readings started out high (AHI 8-10 events per hour and percent of night in Periodic breathing between 15-20 ). After some pressure adjustment the readings starting dropping and over time are now about 4 on AHI and 4-6 on periodic breathing. They...

When I try to send a PM it stays in my outbox, and doesn't get sent. I've looked for a "send" button, but can't find a way to send it. It just stays in my outbox.
Sorry for the stupid question, but am I missing something?
Thanks
Jerry

I've been using ResScan 3.10.
If someone could please PM with the upgraded version for 3.11 I'd be very appreciative.
Thanks in advance for your help.

My wife just got an S9 to try. I have a Respironics System 1 Auto. The Respironics shows a periodic breathing reading on the LCD (although its the 7 day ave). The S9 only seems to give the AHI, and no central apneas on the display. Do I need to look at the results through the software to get central...

I've tries nasal masks and pillows as well as the full face mask. Some have leaked rather badly, but the alarm has never gone off.

I have a couple of questions about the Respironics system 1 prop apap" 1. My sleep data shows that there are times that large leaks occur, but the alarm never goes off. I've set the machine for mask alert on, but that doesn't work. Any suggestions to make the alarm go off when it detects leaks? 2. W...

Try poligrip STRIPS. They peel off very easily.

I would believe anything that comes out of Texas!

Are you cleaning the mask daily and washing your face before you use it?

I am a side/stomach sleeper and tried several different masks.I started with the FX and found it I couldn'tget it adjusted properly, and it leaked. After unsuccessfully trying several other masks, I when back to the FX for its comfort, and got it to work. Although the med pillows seemed to fit bette...

i got a pair of shape-ups after I broke some bones in my foot and had pain i in my foot and ankle during the recovery period. I found hem easier to walk with and relieved the pain in my ankle. They also seemed to help take some of the pressure off my back. My wife spends a lot of time on her feet an...

I have small FX pillows I'd like to trade for large.
