Sleep/Neurological Physical Therapist... Is there such a thing? Even with much lower AHI's, I still find myself tossing and turning after the initial four hours of sleep, trying to find a comfortable position. Sleep is always tentative after that. Sometimes I just get up and read. Sleep centers seem...

I have a constellation of considerations for acquiring an oximeter, scattered, but loosely related: I agree with kebsa on the diabetic analogy. You can survive only minutes without oxygen. While it is relatively available in the atmosphere, we're interested in what is actually getting to the cellula...

Cristen & Ali,

My sincerest condolences for your loss.
Snoredog taught me a lot.
He will be very much missed.

May you both have many happy anniversaries.
Congratulations.

O.

On Mac, use 'Command' click to get any available 'right click' pulldown menus.

I could not even walk from one room to the next and remember why I went there. Skittles, Sleep apnea will do it too! My family calls it 'Threshold Syndrome'. All you have to do is cross a threshold between rooms, and you're totally clueless as to why you went there. Sometimes if you go back where y...

...Now I have been using a PureSleep mouthpiece for about a month and it allows me to sleep the night through without any apnea episodes, and I don't have the brain fog that I was having all the time. However, the PureSleep mouthpiece has changed my bite and I think it may have cracked one of my fr...

Some local disabled vets have been distributing blue 'forget-me-not' flowers at the Sam's Club instead of red poppies. I appreciate their sacrifices. Some might wonder why they were not distributing poppies. Here's the poem that started the tradition: In Flanders Fields In Flanders fields the poppie...

Not discounting the tragedy of any real possibility that there would be a population of children large enough to create the market need, I haven't seen any 'My First CPAP' kids' cpap machines marketed yet. The market is so small for cpap anyway, we'll probably never get past the single-color model o...

Does anyone know of a supplier please?

Guy,

In the review there's a link to the supplier:

Scroll down the page, and you'll see the ear sensor you can buy from this supplier.

As I have tried ALL of them I think I can comment. Slumbergear http://www.slumbergear.com/ Very nice, chinstrap and headgear all in one. VERY stable. papcap from pursleep.com is very nice as mentioned above Topaz is also a good chinstrap. The slumbergear looks interesting, but this is the skeptic i...

I spent half the night and all of today so far TRYING to write a tactful, diplomatic request and description of my experience at Mayo's sleep center to the department's administrator but all I do is get more infuriated and frustrated the more I work on it! I want to send them a letter and written r...

EPR really means "Extra Pressure Required". The proprietary meaning - "Expiratory Pressure Relief" is used by ResMed for all of their products that have it. The second is "Exhale Pressure Relief" that encompasses all the proprietary methods including 'Breathe Easy, Cflex, Aflex and EPR'. When I thi...

Here's a sanitized, webified version of the report from jcochran's original pdf: http://www.montfordhouse.com/cpap/jcochran/103108.htm Savefile.com doesn't seem to be an ideal place to store pdf's. It's too slow. Mediafire.com might be better. Others have had good success with yousendit.com. ozij is...

Congrats on your fancy new 'halloween' masks! Sweet deal!
