Anyone?

As someone who works in a chronic pain clinic, that is a LOT of sedating medications. Ask your doctor about Suboxone. It's expensive, so many docs don't use it, but it works better, lasts longer and isn't as sedating as most narcotics.

Ok...so when I had my sleep study and got my machine, I was told to set it at 9.0. After a few weeks of sleeping the night through, I was getting tired again, so I borrowed an APAP which went to 9.8 one night and 10.1 on the 2nd night, so the DME told me to set my CPAP for 10.0. Fast forward a few m...

Hey there! I was a full time RV'er for 22 mos from Oct. '05-April '07! But I didn't get my CPAP until just 2 mos. ago. I was actually first diagnosed before we went on the road, but blew it off until the effects got to be unbearable. Anyway, the setup is small enough that it should fit on the little...

Glad to hear things are going better. They are for me too. I'm not caffeine free either, but I've cut WAY down from pre-CPAP. I also got a data-capable machine on Craigslist, brand new for $200. My leaks are regularly at 0.00 My AI and HI's are under 1.5 and AHI's are 0.00. I'm still not "zesty" in ...

Kenny.....

Take a deep breath and relax. You're putting too much thought into this.

Chill.

OK.....*rant on* I've seen enough of these type of responses that I need to say something.... When someone is struggling with OSA and/or xPAPing, it is NOT helpful to say, "Get your life insurance paid up" "Prepare a will" "Let your family know that you'll be dead soon, so get your affairs in order"...

I'm still tired too, but less so than before I started. I posted the same thing about still being tired and was told the same thing about having a "debt" to pay back.

Try your local Craigslist. I just got a smoking deal on a mask,humidifer, tube and machine for $200....brand new!

Did you do it? Are you still caffeine free?

I've cut down on mine, but I'm still tired, but much less so.

Hey! Do you live in Denver???

Oh my god! I'd blow up bigger than a hot air balloon and float away!

I made sure the menu for mask said "Swift". Interesting that the machine said pressure of 9.6. My HMO originally said to set it to 9, then when I said I was still tired, they told me to try 10. But I tried 10 a few weeks ago and blew up like a balloon, so I'll keep it at 9.6 once I return the loaner...

I checked my numbers this morning after using my loaner (ResMed S8 Vantage) machine last night:

Pressure: 9.6
Leak: 0.00L/s
AHI: 0.9
AI: 0.1
HI: 0.8
Used 9 hours
Loaner machine has 2297 hours.

If I'm not mistaken, that's pretty good, right?
