Re: My new Airsense 10 - just got it!
Black definitely is better in my opinion, although some people may like the pink. The S9 for Her was a terrible metallic pink. The Airsense 10 for Her is a light gray with dark gray flower accents. I was the first person at my DME to get the "for her" 10 and the therapist that set me up had to walk...

Re: Trying CPAP
Thank you! From what I've read, Sleepyhead doesn't work with the 10 yet, but Rescan does.

Trying CPAP
Thanks to the responses I got on my previous post here, and reading about everyone's positive experiences with cpap I have decided to take the plunge and try it. I purchased the Airsense 10 Autoset for Her based on recommendations here. Reading some of the DME horror stories here, I'd have to say I ...

Re: Potential New CPAP User- Lots of Questions!
Do you use the bathroom a lot at night? Do you have nightmares of being chased, drowning, other scary situations? Do you have headaches in the morning? Do you feel grumpy easily? Do you have high blood pressure? These are all things that improved for me once I started cpap treatment. None of those ...

I am young.englandsf wrote:Weight loss will possibly only improve apnea in the young, muscle tone is another big issue the older you get. I am 61 and need to lose 50 pounds - but even then my sleep doc says I should not expect my apnea to go away (40 AHI without CPAP, 1-2 with!)

Re: Potential New CPAP User- Lots of Questions!
I have had apnea for 10 years and due to some recent health issues I decided to do a sleep test and was surprised how bad my apnea was. 58 times an hr. Average 30 secs ea. 65 sec longest. Not good. Took home an S9 the day I got the sleep report and my ahi immediately dropped to <2.0. Used diligentl...

Re: Potential New CPAP User- Lots of Questions!
By sleep disturbances do you mean arousals? Although apnea can definitely cause them, beyond that, it can be tough to determine there cause. Some are normal for everyone, as is having some apnea events. This is what the DME rep called them when she was reading the report to me. You need to get info...

Re: Potential New CPAP User- Lots of Questions!
Thanks so much for all of the responses! I'll try and respond to everything. Sleep specialist? I'm seeing my pulmonologist who also does sleep medicine. The understanding is the last sleep study I had definitely was the best, the other two were worse. I think it is probably related to less REM sleep...
