Re: Sleep Apnea and Low T for Men

Androgel provided a discount card, so I pay $10 per month versus $60 if I didn't have it. I had heard that injections leave you with a roller coaster affect on the T levels, any truth to that? I know the FDA just approved an injection that is 4x a year, waiting to see more info about it. If you do ...

My prescription is inject able, its a preference mostly but I am married to a nurse so getting shot in the butt is easy and quick. Trt does not lead to prostrate cancer. its been plenty of studies out there t...

I got one a few weeks ago.
Not very impressed and not worth the money.

I am sending it back.

Re: Increased pressure = increased AHI

Why was the pressure increased if your AHI was under 1?

Re: First Night With New Machine

No reason to wait to download data.

You are probably leaking or breathing via mouth.
If thats not the case your pressure could be too low.

I was first prescribed 8cm but now am at 12 cm.
learned that from the data.

Hybrid mask and machine settings

hey,

Got a new mask yesterday.
Its a Mirage liberty I think.

I have a Resmed S9.
What do I need to select for mask type?
I did not see hybrid.

I assume I use full face for the setting?

It felt good but my AHI was 9, much higher then normal.
Will try it for a few days.

Re: CPAP after weight loss?

You should fill out your profile with the equipment you are using.
If your cpap machine is data capable you can get some help reading the data.

The data should tell you if you need an adjustment.

Re: OT FBI to shut down internet access for some on july 9th

FBI is NOT shutting down internet connections in this case. The virus that infected computers changed the DNS server lookups. The DNS servers is how you find an IP address from a domain name. Kind of like looking up someones phone number in the phone book. FBI basically took over the IP addresses th...
