Re: Pain Syndromes
I have arthritis, osteoporosis, degenerative disk disease, and spinal cysts. I had one injection that didn't seem to help before I had DVT. Now with the blood thinner I am taking I can't continue the epidural injections. I did have a shot for the arthritis that didn't seem to help at all. I have ha...

Re: AHI of 0.0 one night out of the last two weeks??
You know what's weird though, no matter if I have a 1.0 or an 8.0, I still feel about as bad the next day.. Not bad bad, but not full of energy either. Just sludging and plodding along, forcing myself to go through the motions you know? If I had that same dim bulb feeling after the 0.0 night, I migh...

Re: AHI of 0.0 one night out of the last two weeks??
Is a 0.0 really possible? I usually wake to read a 1.8 consistently, every morning. Yesterday though, I woke up feeling as refreshed as a pre-teen, (almost never happens, like once every ten years), I looked at my numbers to find 0.0! Really! But, unfortunately I have no idea what allowed that to h...

Re: AHI of 0.0 one night out of the last two weeks??
Yea, Im not too concerned about it, but if I ever find that "silver bullet" that gets me consistent or nearly so AHIs of 0.0 I would be over the moon!

Re: Got my new S9 AutoSet!!
Try a pad a cheek liner to see if that helps with the vader sound , They are great with this mask . I find that the humidifier helps as well as the hose cozy . I do, and have for years. Karen even special made for me a liner out of fleece instead of the lint free type of material. I use a hose cozy...

Re: Got my new S9 AutoSet!!
Heated S9 hose, compared to the FP heated hose. The FP is a little bigger, heavier, but a lot more flexible, pliable, and robust. FP Just seems like a lot more durable hose. Plus, the S9 hose has soft rubber ends, and I find it's harder to connect and much harder to disconnect from my mask. I feel l...

Now to look for software...
I'm so happy I finally get an opportunity to study all the data that these machines record. Need software to do that I guess! wish resmed would have put it on a disk and included it with the machine, especially after I bought it outright. Anyone have a link to it?

Re: Got my new S9 AutoSet!!
Two things: Firstly, have you changed your mask along with the machine? I have found that some masks course different noises than others, so this may be one of the reasons for the.Darth Vader noise? Secondly, I find that using my machine without the humidifier makes it seem very noisy. I have a dif...

Got my new S9 AutoSet!!
After 8 years of running on a brick, a FP 604 sleep style institutional looking over rated leaf blower, I finally got an S9 AutoSet! Love how quiet the motor is. And the menu screens. Awesome! The look overall is great! The hose feels a bit cheesy, though. The FP hose is way better. You can tell res...

Re: Which Machine? (seeking successful treatment)
Does anyone know if the F&P Icon has the auto on and auto off feature? Like the S9?

Re: AHI count and OSA Severity
Just had my second in lab study done, they told me I had severe OSA with 98 qualifying events in an hour. How bad is that in comparison to other people with OSA? Is that an average number, or am I particularly afflicted? I just noticed that you joined this forum 3 years ago. What have you been doin...
