Re: Va sleep apnea

I did not get my machine through Va got it through tricare.
I try never to go to VA for any treatment if possible save it for someone who needs it.
I've heard horror stories of them taking away benefits at ten years

Re: ResScan Software Download

For what ever reason I keep trying to log into apnea board but it won't let me yes I registered.

When I was directed to apnea board the first few times I assumed it was a discussion on where the link was

Re: How could this be? Slept with machine, but logged no hours

Maybe your internal clock is off or battery is dead and date doesn't match sleepy head. Maybe the card is defective
Maybe it never happened you we abducted by aliens and the made you think you slept through the night like normal( just kidding, I'm not a nut job... Really I'm not ).

Va sleep apnea

I was diagnosed with sleep apnea while on active duty, so please don't flood me with emails asking how to get it related to service if you once served, because I don't know. I do know ways to cut through the red tape if diagnosed while in service active duty. It's actually easy only submit the diagn...

Re: How much does drinking alcohol affect apnea?

When I first started using my machine I could never last the entire night with it on unless I've had a few OR MORE.
I know it is supposed to relax the muscles needed for breathing and probably not good for sleep apnea but, now I have the machine!!

Re: Mask Pressure Issues

Good to know to bad they don't make a reverse ramp. Who knew that sleep would be so important. Michael Jackson killed himself(with help from MD) just trying to get some sleep.

Re: Fuzzy Head and fatigue

Good point Pugsy melatonin has been know to cause you to be groggy the next day. I have terminal brain cloud due to ADD, I'm only good once my adderal kicks in. I also want you to check your house for carbon monoxide leaks if you have gas appliances. Increased brain cloud due to exercise seems like ...

Re: Mask Pressure Issues

I know it was at 6 because this new clock radio looking cpap has a display. I was not sleeping just trying to get used to it watching tv I never used the ramp because I felt like I was fighting for air. I guess I figured that an auto would supply the exact air needed, it just seemed to stay on the l...

Re: Mask Pressure Issues

Re: Does anyone else ever feel this way? After 16 months

That's funny!! Depends on if you want to go through life with the lifestyle of a stoner or if you enjoy having your mental faculties. Now that your truly awake surround your self with people who challenge you intellectually and maybe take a college class.

Re: I just changed my machine RESMED 10 air sense auto

I tried the auto set feature it drowned me out either my nose was running or the machine was too humid. I switched back but by then I went without it.
I'm gonna keep it off auto for now and back on 8cm
