Re: ResMed Mirage Quattro Forehead support change?

What is the purpose of the forehead piece? I'm a newbie and started out with the Quattro FX full face mask. It doesn't have anything on your forehead but seems very secure. https://www.cpap.com/productpage/resmed-mirage-quattro-fx-full-face-mask-headgear.html I used the Quattro as a loaner but ended...

Re: Home sleep study vs hospital sleep study

I bought the Airsense For Her a few days ago and returned the loaner. With the heated hose and mask it came to $2700. I sure hope my insurance comes through and pays 95% like they said they would. For some reason the DME wouldn't give me a receipt and said I either had to come back the next day for ...

Re: Home sleep study vs hospital sleep study

I'm thinking the venlafaxine pushes the REM towards the end of the night, resulting in those events in the 2 days previously noted. Now, you did say something about leg movements? Well, as it turns out: Sleep changes after 4 consecutive days of venlafaxine administration in normal volunteers. BACKG...

Re: Home sleep study vs hospital sleep study

I take Effexor (anti-depressant), Enbrel and naproxin (for rheumatoid arthritis), and occasionally Lorazapam to sleep.

Re: Home sleep study vs hospital sleep study

I've heard that you can stop yourself sleeping on your back by sewing a pocket on the back of your night gown or pajamas and putting a ball in the pocket. I wonder it that would work.

Re: Home sleep study vs hospital sleep study

I don't know what happened that night. I might have been sleeping on my back. Does this mean I need higher pressure? Or only if it keeps happening? It is weird that could happen when I'm asleep, but I don't wake up or remember it at all. You would think it would be terrifying.

Re: When do you replace your mask/pillows/line/equipment?

My private "extended health" insurance in Canada will pay 95% of the cost of 2 masks a year. I suspect the government health care won't pay anything unless you jump through all sorts of hoops. The prices locally are astronomical. The F10 mask was over $300 CND and the AirSense™ 10 AutoSet For Her co...

Re: Resmed myAir

I just got a new Resmed Airsense machine. It sends all my data automatically to the DME ( )... myAir but it just some dumbed-down summaries. it sends *summary* data, not all data. That makes sense. I guess it would be too costly to send all the data. I may get one of those wifi sd cards. I've never...

Resmed myAir

I just got a new Resmed Airsense machine. It sends all my data automatically to the DME ( ) and I signed up for myAir at the Resmed site so the data gets sent there too. I thought I might be able to see sleepyHead-type graphs at myAir but it just some dumbed-down summaries. I wish there was some way...

Re: Home sleep study vs hospital sleep study

I went to the directory you mentioned and put all the files there into a zip. OK, almost there, need one more thing. There should be a folder within the YourName file: http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j147/morbius10/winnie9_zps9ejdtdmg.jpg Need that. EDIT: try this one: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8...

Re: Newbie asks how to monitor Sa02 while sleeping with CPAP?

When I used SleepyHead with my 50 D plus it was a little more work to get the data to show up in SleepyHead but I think it might be easier now. It was an older SH version that I used back then. The software that comes with the pulse ox is more than sufficient to see what you want to see. I think th...
