Both papcap and mask found a taker.

I tried CBT for insomnia for a bit. It just so happened that I started having night sweats after two weeks of the therapy (I'm 50). So for the remaining 4 weeks of CBT I suffered so badly from interrupted sleep from the sweats that I could never find out whether CBT would work or not. And I've had t...

The mask wasn't the problem. I've stopped CPAP ca 4 months ago after struggling like a madwoman with the relentless aerophagia (despite being negative for GERD). Besides, I've always been just under 5 AHIs (plus a smattering of RERAs) even before CPAP anyways, so I'm not worried. The whole thing was...

Yes.

Hi, Not sure this is the right spot to post this--please redirect me if it isn't! Also I don't know what the policy is on used articles--just hope I'm not committing a faux pas here. But I also don't just want to throw something away if there is a chance somebody might want it. Anyway, CPAP didn't w...

I can't figure out how to get access to the clinical manual--any suggestions?

You also want to post that sleep study data when you start the new thread. -SWS and NoMuffy will be interested in that data as will other knowledgeable folks. And point out the studies were done at Standford and that your official diagnosis was OSA not UARS. And they didn't change the diagnosis aft...

christinepi, My first suggestion is that you post that very nicely written summary into a new thread with a title like OSA or UARS? and aerophagia too to try to get the attention of two of the posters here---one named -SWS and the other who posts under several names including both Muffy and NotMuff...

Maybe it's easiest to write a summary of my trials and tribulations. I'm 50, going through menopause and have been an insomniac for 17 years. No problem falling asleep, but go through phases of several weeks at a time when I can't sleep through the night. I either wake up and can't go back to sleep ...

Wow, Robysue, I really appreciate all your questions! Just to let you know, I will answer them all to give the most precise picture possible, but it'll take me a day or so.

Does anyone know how to access the clinical manual for the new Resmed 9 VPAP? Or, lacking that, the manual for the model before that?

A user of the *other* bi-level here chiming in here. First, I strongly second jnk's suggestion of caution on all the playing around with the pressure settings. It takes a while to acclimate to a new pressure setting (or pressure range on an Auto). So if you are going to make changes, you really nee...

. . . I'm playing with the pressures almost every day. . . . I noticed that the PS was set at 1.0. I know that I didn't ever touch that setting. If you accidentally at any point adjusted the Max IPAP and Min EPAP to within one cmH2O of each other, the machine adjusted the PS accordingly. If you set...

It looks like ResMed has just released this new machine - I wish it were available 6 months ago when I was getting mine. I use bi-level with similar pressures to yours, so maybe I can be helpful, except, your machine seems to be acting differently than mine. What made me have to use it in Spontaneo...

I'm confused. I'm new to the bilevel world after 4 bad months of CPAP (aerophagia). My doctor prescribed IPAP of 14 and EPAP of 8, and a PS of 4. I started on this a week ago. As far as I can remember, the PS was indeed set at 4 every time I went to the settings screen, which was ca once a day becau...
