Re: Can ASV cause fatigue? Need BiPAP instead?
Interesting stuff, Todzo, I am responding because I want to read those links in depth at a later time. I have really ratty breathing at night. Actually, I did a little experiment yesterday and turned the pressures on my machine all the way down and breathed through it while awake and watching TV fo...

Re: Can ASV cause fatigue? Need BiPAP instead?
A recent study comparing ASV with CPAP for the treatment of CompSAS demonstrated that ASV yields better carbon dioxide maintenance but does not reduce arousals, reduce daytime sleepiness, or improve quality of life better that CPAP[1]. So while the better carbon dioxide maintenance may help preserve...

Re: My sleep problems were caused by bacteria.
Well perhaps in addition to attacking cranial nerve #7 attacks are made to parts of the chemoreflex systems. Fractured sleep from the resulting apneas would also cycle the stress hormones such that the related sugar release circuits also cycle resulting in insulin resistance and diabetes. I have see...

Re: My sleep problems were caused by bacteria.
Bacterial or viral infection can indeed cause permanent damage that remains after the infection is gone. Lyme disease is like this, and probably many others. (What causes MS?, for example) My mother in law's pancreas was probably destroyed by a "minor" infection, the type doctors do not treat, but ...

Re: Issues with Compliance
To check out the PALM issues simply Google Scholar or PubMed search:
Sleep apnea pcrit
sleep apnea arousal threshold
sleep apnea loop gain
sleep apnea muscle
And note that limiting the search to “since 2010” will yield some nice results indeed.
Happy reading!

Re: Issues with Compliance
NCSU - Please be careful about what and how much of the previous long note you take as gospel. There have been very many 'contributions' by the poster over time (if not for a short while) on the same subject, referencing some particularly odd and not well substantiated ideas (for all that he's prov...

Re: Issues with Compliance
Hello all, I'm working on a school project at North Carolina State University. Our team is working to address CPAP compliance and we're wondering if any of your would be willing to share why you struggle with compliance. What thoughts do you have? Many, but few that I can share here. PM me if you w...

Re: device for awakening arousals
look into EEG (perhaps open eeg) and the latest research dealing with OSA and arousal detected by heart rate variabilitychris677 wrote:Hello
I would like to know if a device can count and monitor awakening arousals ?
There is other awakening arousals not link to AHI
Thanks

Appreciation of SleepyHead
Appreciation of SleepyHead: SleepyHead has been a life saver to me. Without the nightly feedback I would have gotten too far off track to recover. Much thanks to the creator and contributors! So today I moved my donation level to 2/5 of what I intend with the second hundred dollars. However, the exc...

Re: Results of Pressure Changes
I'm curious, however, about [t]he decrease in obstructives with only a change in maximum pressure. Does this suggest that the machine may have been misidentifying centrals as obstructives and chasing them with pressure increases? Events of any kind raise the level of the stress hormones. Stress hor...

Re: Contec CMS50IW issues
Hello, I just recieved a Contec CMS50IW pulse oximeter. I don't think it works. Maybe I'm wrong. Below is a study of me holding my breath for 1:05. I realize there is some latency in saturation decreasing, but I was under the impression it was about 15 seconds. I see no movement at all. The perfusi...

Re: Bacteria, oh the horror! Sleep supplies and myths
A little journey "outside the box..." My very healthy husband got a Staph infection of some sort at 47 due to a cut on the back of his hand that turned into an obvious infection. I told him to go to the doctors one night. I was out of town that night and it unfortunately got worse later that night....
