Biflex setting was 3. Missed that.

Thanks to all. I did (after much anxiety and fidgeting) manage to get encore pro 2 up and working, seems like my hypopnias acted up a bit but the Centrals and Obstructives dropped like a rock. My average was 4.8 AHI made up mostly of hypopnias which made up 4.3 of it. Settings: Max Pressure: 25 cmH2...

Thanks. I was wondering, will Sleepyhead ever work with it? I noticed it says its currently not compatible.

I just got my Dreamstation ASV today, my wife signed for it while I was at work. I have no seen any before and after examples of centrals and hypopnias on a report, id be curious to see that. Also, Ive heard it can be an extensive adjustment time getting used to these things, what are some things to...

I may have to jump on board with the Biotene, Not liking the sticky mouth thing going on. A Biotene mouthwash rinse will only help moisturize the mouth for a few minutes. Here is where the hours-long moisturizing comes from: XyllMelts tab on gums Xylimelts - https://www.google.com/search?q=xylimelt...

Hey, don't worry about it. It's not the first and sure won't be the last rant/pity party we will have seen.

thanks. And I apologize a LOT, be ready for that...

Id like to apologize and to clarify- Ive been angry with this Apnea since its never gotten stable, I still have to go through the hurdles of getting onto the ASV machine, and probably jumped to conclusions when I saw online that I could possibly have acquired central apnea from spine surgery. I cant...

I have a double shelf headboard that the machine sits on and I bought two pulleys from amazon that mount on the wall that take up the slack as I move. Works for me.

I bet the 50% only applies if diagnosed while on active duty. I'm retired Navy E6 and still do what I did when I was on active duty 17 years ago, certainly not disabled.

Thanks for your service...Sounds like you are trying to connect OSA to your back problems so you can get an increase in disability payments ????? Yes, I had to have fusion surgery 14 years after they gave me 10% for chronic severe lumbar pain. Since they turned down my request for increase and appr...

Ok, thanks everyone. I just saw that a cervical spine surgery "can" cause it (mine was lumbar, but they do have to move your spinal cord out of the way and I had a broken bone sitting on it), I know theres no way to tell what/when caused my CSA, I just found it odd how that's about when my severe ex...

Has anyone or anyone know of anyone who has been able to connect spinal surgery to CSA? I had L4-S1 Fusion surgery January of 2015 and as I think about it, that about when my exhaustion began. I had gotten a bad back from 20 years military service and it definitely IS service connected for which I w...

Just saw the Doc, because of the 3 sleepyhead screenshots and the data from the machine, IM getting an ASV finally. They want a ultrasound of my heart done which I already had done 6 months ago, and then on to the sleep study to set the pressures. Thank you all so so very much!
