Anyone having deja vu?

I cant remember how many times he has done this... too many.

He went through and "."-ed out all of his posts at one point and now they are completely gone?

Mike did a good job of summarizing the process. My first sleep study was five years ago and I was totally unprepared. Medical situations stress me out in general. With all of the wires and straps and tubes hooked up and the unfamilar noises, etc, I was only able to get a couple of hours of sleep. Fo...

Best wishes for a smooth surgery and a quick recovery. I look forward to the one-handed updates soon.

Just to throw in my $.02... There was at least one documented scientific study of mouth taping with CPAP therapy done in Germany found here: http://erj.ersjournals.com/content/14/6/1251.full.pdf In their conclusion they state: "There is an urgent clinical need for a safe and effective method for pre...

Pugsy,

So sorry to hear about your accident. We all have our moments, mine resulted in three broken ribs...

Wishing you the best on a smooth surgery and quick recovery. I have a feeling you wont have too much trouble keeping up around here with one hand

Best wishes,
Dennis

As for the machine, my doctor prescribed a specific machine and the prescriptions says do not substitute. So I guess that should clear up the machine selection and just leave the task of finding the right mask. When you call the DME's you are thinking of using, make sure they know you have a machin...

Mine is our black lab Emma. She just turned 12 but is still is a puppy at heart. Unfortunately, a knee injury to her front leg when she was a pup is now slowing her down quite a bit. She is decked out in her Christmas collar. She snores louder than I did before CPAP. She has been a terrible patient ...

The first thing you need to do is check which companies are in-network with your insurance company as you don't want to get in the middle of the "reasonable and customary charges" battle between the DME and your insurance company. I would ask your Sleep Doctor or your Sleep Center for recommendation...

Wulfman has a good point, however, there appears to be much debate on APAP vs CPAP. I have been working my lower APAP pressure up with good success so far. But to answer your question, there does not seem to be a way to get the light to activate while in therapy mode. I find it easier to see what w...

Downloaded most recent build above, works good on my W7 64bit machine. One question on zooming in on wave form info. It looks like left clicking will zoom in one level and right clicking will zoom out one level. I also notice that I can click and drag to zoom in on a range. Once I do this, there doe...

I used the Swift II for a while and would get whistling when the pillows were not properly seated or had moved as I tossed and turned. Usually a quick wiggle of the mask would reseal but sometimes I would have to pull the pillows away from my nose and set them back straight to get a good seal. My ne...

For those interested in installing Encore Viewer 2.0 on a 64-bit computer here is the link to the thread with a method to make it work: http://www.cpaptalk.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=51779&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=encore+viewer+64+bit I have not tried this as I use Encore Pro on my 64-bit system. Good Luck...

Oh, for heaven's sake! The original post was a good bit of fun, for exactly the reasons you criticized it: it was kind of silly, it was presumptuous, which made it even sillier, and just a wee bit of a joke. My mouth dropped open as I read the responses. I'm rather disappointed. I guess I'll just c...
