Re: REM Apnea | REM Sleep Behavior Disorder

John - I did not mean to imply you were fascinating or interesting in a negative sense - I was referring to your previous post itself in which you mentioned OPCA.

I am in fact worried of MSA with some of my symptoms - such a rare disease and even rarer for some in mid-30s (although I have lurked on other boards and there are c...

Re: REM Apnea | REM Sleep Behavior Disorder

Kteague - I am sorry for your loss but appreciate the information. Sleeping Ugly - No - never on those types of meds.

Re: REM Apnea | REM Sleep Behavior Disorder

Thank you all for your responses - I appreciate them. The information on securing the machine is great. I hadn't thought of that and its certainly probably going to be an issue. K-teague - curious and if you don't mind - did your father develop Parkinson's or a related disease? John - Your post woul...

Re: SPO-7500 Oximeter or CMS Model 50-E Pulse Oximeter

Can't compare but thumbs up for the CMS50E. Been using for a year with no problems. User manual and software is a bit lacking but product works well.

Re: Resmed S9 or Respironics PR System One?

Hello all! I just got diagnosed with REM apnea and am getting a machine tomorrow. They said they are bringing an ResMed S9 and a Respronics PR for me to choose. They are pushing the Respronics but its ultimately my decision. In doing my research I found this wonderful site - so great that it exists....
