Sleep/Neurological Physical Therapist?
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...

Re: Oximeter: Cost vrs Benefit
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...

On Mac, use 'Command' click to get any available 'right click' pulldown menus.ozij wrote:If it's not a laptop, I believe you can change the Apple mouse, to a 2 button mouse, and then you get a right click, IIRC.

Re: Does Anyone Here Have Memory Loss and/or Brain Fog Issues?
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...

Re: Does Anyone Here Have Memory Loss and/or Brain Fog Issues?
...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...

Re: *THANK YOU VETS*
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...

Re: Is there any "attractive" CPAP equipment out there?
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...

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...

Re: Nicolet One PSG Software???
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...

Re: EPR
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...
