Re: Need help with Encore Pro Installation

I had the same problem and turned out I had a file missing. I actully had to uninstall it all a couple of times with my dads help and then reinstall. And remember you have to have the card in the reader before you plug it into the USB. But try reinstalling all the software and see if that helps.

Re: hours of use of cpap

you will get used to it over time. While those four hours are great what about the other three or so that you are not breathing. So you are just having a battle with your body and brain. I know with my self if I even sleep two hours with out the pap then I feel horrid the next day. We all have troub...

Re: This can't be for real

I've been hanging in the eves on this thread and the dream thread all day. As a "DreamDiver", Riv/Buck, I can tell you - Only you can decide what level of meaning your dreams have, and what signifies. We're all cpap users just like you - and most likely not soothsayers. Neither does any of use like...

Re: Curse of a cold

I seldom get a cold but when I do, If my nose remains totally stuffed when on cpap, I have been known to use an over the counter nasal decongestant. -this will clear things.-- I hate doing this as one can get hooked and can also deal with the inevitable rebound effect the next day. That is what I h...

Re: Curse of a cold

I have been using my cpap now for slightly more than a year and have trained myself to be a nose breather when I had been a mouth breather since childhood. It took six months to achieve this. Now I have a cold. My head is so stuffed up It feels like it is going to explode. No problem, I use a hybri...

Re: prescription

I do not have a copy of my old prescription. try going back to the DME that you got the cpap from. They might still have it on file, request a copy of it. Or ask for all your medical records from your doc, maybe the old copy of the RX might be in there. I still have both mine. I made a copy of them...

Re: This can't be for real

I am on both sites. I started off in the first one. I got a lot of useful information. But then I came here, because I got more corperation with learning how to work my machine. This is because the other site refuses to give out any information on how to operate in the clinical mode. While I still b...
