Lisa, you should look into Stop the Thyroid Madness. For many people, levothyroxine is not enough. And you may be on too low a dose of Armour. You should go by FT4 and FT3, not TSH.

Lisa, look into taking Vit K2 together with the vit D. I resisted for a year but it's made a big difference in my vit D levels.

So back to my original question, this machine is data capable & will work with sleepyhead?

Tino, thanks for the link.

Bwexler, I can't use Auto mode, so no need to spend extra money just to get an apap.

You can also try a Papcap - i find that it needs less pressure than a normal chinstrap to work.

Thanks JDS, that's good to know.

Hi all, my 2nd P&B 420e finally crapped out on me last night (after 8000+ hours) and so I need a new data capable machine. In the meantime I'm using a Devilbliss that's just bare-bones, which I initally bought as a backup/travel CPAP.... but I really need something data-capable as therapy's been a b...

I had an ahi of 35+ but never had daytime sleepiness, only fatigue. 'Sleepiness' to me is where yiu can't keep your eyes open, Fatigue is not being able to get off the couch. I bet an EEG could detect the difference!

When i was younger, I was very fit from sports & weight lifting but always at the top end of the 'normal' BMI range. I would have turned into a stick figure if I had tried to lose weight. Later on I gained a ton of weight and though I hid it well, bmi went up into the obese range. Turns out it was a...

Dori, I'm so sorry to hear you both got sick. Just saw this thread now. Wishing Mike a speedy and easy recovery!! Hope you will be able to get back to taking caring of him soon! Vitamin D always helps me get through respiratory infections, flus, and colds. In fact I no longer get lung infections sin...

What I'm hearing is that "settle where it wants to" does result in the DSPS creating a problem, so an attempt should be made to fix it. Referring to above Company Guidelines, you have 3 accepted approaches: Prescribed Sleep Scheduling Timed Light Exposure Timed Melatonin Administration And light re...

Ah nevermind, just re-read a couple of posts and you *do* have DSPS. How many of your spontaneous arousals occur during the first half of the night, presumably the times that your body typically *doesn't* want to be asleep?

Robysue, i know that the existence of "adrenal fatigue" is controversial, but it might still be worth looking into (since you seem to have run out of ideas!). A saliva cortisol test might be informative - perhaps you have high nighttime cortisol that's contributing to the wakeups, and low morning wh...

I just taped a piece of string to the cpap, going across/over the filter. Nothin' fancy

I'm obviously not an expert on CAs or children with sleep apnea. I'll also go by my own experience here. I did notice that on my graphs, I would get sleep onset and wake-up CAs, especially in the beginning when I first got on CPAP. Of course that's not to say that these CAs aren't really centrals, s...

Here is the link in my sig: http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com If you view their profile, you can also view their signature line. I recently started using Tapatalk too, love it. But when I go to my profile, most of my signature is not visible (same for other profiles), and there's no way to expand...
