Re: New DME Procedures and policies
thanks for the replies, Interesting, I purposely did not say my insurance, some of you know from my previous posts I have Tricare and VA.. I have gotten masks from this DME through Tricare and its never been a problem until the govt sequester (budget cuts) and now a new HMO has taken over Tricare......

New DME Procedures and policies
I am wondering if the following is happening in your own neck of the woods... My main DME (besides VA, we won't go there) has a new policy where they are only selling Fisher and paykel masks... Not because the HMO will not pay for any other masks but they are only paying about 50% of the mask cost.....

Re: Toshiba flashair card
Sorry, when I say pull data, I actually pull my SD Card.. I gave up on trying to get the toshiba card working...

Re: AHI over 5, what happened with my machine.. Leaks?
Good morning :) I could not take the leaks any more and changed out the Eson... I think most every mask will leak at IPAP 25 and PS at 17 so I changed back to my go to mask the Pilairo Q and figured out it is a rockstar... yes it still leaked but nothing compared to the Eson 2.. I hope this is helpi...

Re: One year in and I still feel horrible
Doc, keep up the work... I am in your shoes since 2010, so 8 years (wow, just realized its been a long time) I am dealing with VA so things just take longer, it took me 3 years to see an actual sleep doctor and another year to see a neurologist.. she had me do an MSLT sleep test to check for Narcole...

Re: First night with a CPAP....ugh
We have all been in the same exact place, it does get better.. it took me 2 years, most take a shorter time to get everything working normal... I was the same as you, turned my machine on and my mouth would open and air escape... It took a couple weeks to train myself to close that flap in my throat...

Re: AHI over 5, what happened with my machine.. Leaks?
Good Morning everyone :) Well, leaks, leaks, leaks and well, more leaks.. What I find interesting is the leaks in the Eson 2 are WAY more quiet than the Pilairo.. Because there are SO MANY straps on this thing I am not sure where to adjust it to make it stop, I changed the bottom straps, the middle ...

Re: Low Testosterone & Sleep Apnea / The chicken or the Egg lol
Its kind of crazzy isn't it, I am a little older than you at 49 and the VA tested my T levels (had to make them) and it was between 150 and 180 on 2 tests.. Guess what the VA said, not bad, there are people that are worse... Everything I have read said the same as you have seen, below 300 is bad for...

Re: AHI over 5, what happened with my machine.. Leaks?
My machine says Events per hour 2.5 and sleepyhead says AHI 0.37, If that is the case it looks like my old mask may have just been shot or somehow had a blowout :) I do think my pressures are just to much for the Pilairo Q (even though I love it, the best mask I have had for over 2 years).. This Eso...

Re: AHI over 5, what happened with my machine.. Leaks?
Hey there, so I did not remember where I had EPAP set at, go figure :) I also forgot to put my card back in my machine last night so no data on my new mask... I changed my EPAP and PS, Because I changed to the F&P Eson 2 Nasal mask I changed my min EPAP down to 8... I know there is not suppose to be...

Re: AHI over 5, what happened with my machine.. Leaks?
Thank you both :) Pugsy, imgur does work better using the last line... I know I am not your normal CPAP user but I think this will help others like me, Let's see if I can do this.. The Doc changed/dropped my meds because I was going to switch to a new med, I did research on it and decided I was not ...
