I'll try. It has been a while for me. Here goes...

I'm 74 years old. Nine years ago I was diagnosed at a sleep lab as having idiopathic central sleep apnea. The first two years, I had 4 different sleep labs along with 3 different sleep therapists, trying to determine good pressure settings for the ASV Bipap machine I was using. I'm on my 2nd ASV bip...

Thank you for your replies. You’ve given me food for thought. I’ll look into these and hope they help.

I'm 73 years of age, have idiopathic central sleep apnea and have been using an ASV BiPap with a full face mask for the past 8 years. Over the years, I've written to the forum on several problem situations I've encountered. This forum is great. I now have another problem and I'm hoping someone on th...

Hi folks,
I have, just yesterday, downloaded Oscar. I wrote the forum on ApneaBoard and became aware that it has replaced Sleepyhead.
I really appreciate the replies earlier.
Thank you again, Dreamless’ wife

Here is a closer zoom of that period of time. Wow, it took me a while to figure out where I saved this image. oy.

Ah, thank goodness it made it through this time. :) Here is one of the bad nights. I downloaded his card today and this past week he had a pretty bad night although Sleepyhead didn't record the pressures after about 3:15 am. It just showed the flow after that. I'm assuming its a bug in the program, ...

I tried to post this 2 weeks ago. I don't know why I'm not seeing this so I will try again. If anyone answers this post and wants screenshots, then I will post them. I am writing about my husbands' sleepyhead data. There is an odd ebb and flow type of pattern that is becoming a normal, almost every ...

Flappy, Thanks so much for your reply. I'm looking forward to being able to post some of those nightly graphs. I'm currently looking into getting a card reader so quick as that happens... I've been to four neurologists and I just know that someone out there is going to be able to help me cause the n...

Flappy, Do you have insomnia as well as frequent awakenings ? And CSA ? I have Idiopathic CSA and was diagnosed 2 1/2 years ago. I am using a Respironics Bipap w/ auto SV Advanced machine. I'm still struggling to get proper sleep. One problem that I have is that if and when I do get to sleep, I wake...

Pugsy,

Thank you so much for your reply. I just found it - apparently I didn't do something right so I would receive a notification on a reply. Hmmm

Have a good holiday.

Pugsy, I have a question for you about Encore Basic vs. Encore Viewer. I'm using a Respironics Bipap Auto SV Advanced machine with Smart Card and have downloaded the Encore Basic program. I still need to get a card reader and discovered that Infineer makes the ONLY reader that will work with the Enc...

I have been on my machine, which is a Respironics Bipap with Auto SV advanced machine for 2 1/2 years. I have had tremendous difficulties dealing with it. I had no help, from the DME provider or the sleep neurologist who prescribed it, in learning how to 'work' with it. I was diagnosed with Central ...
