90 days and happy

Aloha All, it has been crazy in my life. Sleeping great with my bipap. AHI mostly less than 0.5. Nice to have good energy again!

Re: My first visit from aliens!

OMG, what if my husband was trying to strangle me in my sleep.....maybe slowly with my hose. Thank goodness he gave up after a few minutes

Re: My first visit from aliens!

Normally, my events are spread out much more and in the wee hours of the morning. To have most of them in one 15 minute period with a ton of snore was unusual.

I am happy with the AHI to be sure, that concentration of events was disconcerting.

Re: Now I know what deep sleep is!

Aloha All, Yes, I was very offended on reading the now infamous post this morning and wished there was a report as offensive button There is not however, and I refuse to let the inappropriate, unrelated ramblings of anyone rock my boat. There is so much good happening here, I just want to be a posit...

Now I know what deep sleep is!

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there and good morning to the rest of the crew! I have now been on the hose almost 4 weeks and it is going well. Funny story from the other night though, started a 5 night stretch of call on Friday and sure enough, nursery called me to come in around 11:30 pm, ...

adjusting

Have been on bi-level for 3 weeks now. Racking up some good hours of sleep with low AHI's(less than 1 for about 10 days now). Reviewing my Sleepyhead data, there are no predictable pattern to events. Some nights hypopneas, other nights obstructive events, an occasional central and random(2 times in ...

Re: ResScan Software Download

Good Afternoon all,
spent over an hour trying to get ResScan downloaded to my tablet at the DME with no success. Help from you all would be appreciated! Send me a PM. His actual disk with an employee on another island and the transfer with lots of other patient data was not a happening deal.

Re: 3 nights, 100%

Good work! I am at the same place now that we have all the bugs worked out. Over 8 hours each night, AHI 0.9, 1.3, 1.0. Last night I did wake up 3 times, remembering dreams from which I was awakened. The no headache, no muscle soreness and not feeling like I will die without an afternoon nap are won...

Re: throat dryness?

Hi Ellen,
Not sure I can be of much help. I did turn my humidity up to 3 last night and found that an inexpensive cup with soft"straw" never used by dear grandson slips in lips enough to take a small sip of water when need, I am using nasal pillows though.

S9 VPAP auto and the path to patient compliance

Aloha all, What an adventure this is turning into! After an ok start first night, second night something seemed very different with machine. Being so new to this, I was not quite sure how to trouble shoot and getting up to the computer to research was impractical for the rest of the household. So, I...

First night on bilevel, the good and the bad

Started off rocky as I was on call and received an unusual number of calls in the 10pm to midnight hour, bad. However, I am now very accomplished at getting mask off and on quickly, the good! Just as in my titration, I had a very difficult time falling asleep(turns out I only slept 60 minutes during...
