Re: Macs and Sleepyhead

lliann, I'm sorry to hear you're having problems with SH on your mac. In theory, SleepyHead 1.0.0-beta-2 ought to run just fine on your Mac 10.12.6 machine. I think you are the first person to report problems. Screenshots would be useful. Imgur is no harder to use than photobucket. Just set up an ac...

Re: UARS

You don't need an ASV to treat UARS. That is not the opinion of Dr Krakow, and I thought he was pretty well renowned... ===== logical fallacy ASV is intended for CA and related problems but it is good for QOL which insurance does not count at all they would have you suffer although technically trea...

you can download it from a friendly professional who makes it available
It's easier to just get it from apneaboard quite frankly.

Re: Newbie User

I'm brand new to this forum and two weeks into my sleep apnea mask. I have read through a lot of the posts - I am so happy to have found this group. I started with the nasal mask Airfit Nasal 20(?) and have to say I felt so much better on day 1. I can't really believe how much different I am during...

Re: AHI has doubled

Pugsy, Thanks for the summary. Given the history of aerophagia and a need for EPAP in the teens, the OP is going to have some hard choices to make in trying to balance out the needed pressure on the one hand with the aerophagia on the other. You are right: It was a stupid decision on Resmed's part t...

Re: UARS

I would be interested in hearing any benefits to ASV over other devices - no matter the disorder. To answer your question, it helps to understand that ASV was designed with the goal of treating central sleep apnea and complex sleep apnea in mind. And hence it helps to understand what the problem in...

You don't need an ASV to treat UARS. That is not the opinion of Dr Krakow, and I thought he was pretty well renowned...

Re: UARS

My UARS is not congestion related. The only time I have any congestion is when I'm ill - no allergies or sinus problems. xxyzx is confused. UARS is NEVER caused by simple congestion. What is CA? A CA is a central apnea . A central apnea occurs when you stop breathing, but the airway is NOT compromi...

UARs has hypops they count in the AHi index to decide if you need treatment they lower your spo2 and can be as bad as short apneas when the hypops are longer No. In UARS, the respiratory related events that matter are RERAs--- respiratory effort related arousals rather than hypopneas or apneas.
