Re: Curious about report differences

Here's another trio of consecutive graphs. See, you aren't alone! Note the zero leak line on the April 27 graph with all the apneas! April 26 graph. There's an OA under the CA. http://myweb.cableone.net/idahomtnboy/Photos/April%2026%20graph.jpg April 27 graph http://myweb.cableone.net/idahomtnboy/P...

Not that I let that come between me and a plate of Kung Pao chicken, extra spicy!
LOL! Actually I made Beef and Broccoli stir fry last night!

Nope. People still scream in agony when I lapse into song.

Curious about report differences

I have been using my looking at my reports for a few weeks now, and have noticed pattern anomalies from time to time. While I have been dealing with mask leakage of varying amounts, and have achieved a somewhat happy medium in comfort, quality of sleep, and leakage (I think). The mouth leakage is no...

Need Help With A Report

I just installed Encore Pro and a card reader for my brother-in-law, and pulled up a sample report that is puzzling to me. The leak rate is horribly erratic, and the M-Series Auto w/A-Flex doesn't seem to be coping with his OA's, and then maxes out on pressure. It seems odd to me. Can I get some hel...

Re: My Avatar is cool....what say you?

There have been occasions where I could have been called a "troll" - primarily on political forums for opposing views, and on sports forums dedicated to Alabama college football (I am a fan of their arch-rivals), where I have purposely posted provocative things just to rile folks up. And yes, I have...

Re: My brother-in-law has problems

I have told her (repeatedly ) to use the surgical tape.

I discovered that little trick of rolling over the end myself. It is helpful for when you get those 11PM wrong number calls like I got last night.

Re: My brother-in-law has problems

My brother in law has continued to take his mask off in the night. He said he was getting a suffocating feeling, and taking it off. Since we knew he was moth breathing, my sister finally convinced him to use tape. She texted me this morning: "Howdy.. I taped mikes mouth with duct tape last night .. ...

Re: First travel experience coming up!

Just returned from a business trip, and it appears that TSA is now treating CPAPs like laptops. You just need to put it in a separate tote like you would a laptop. I didn't even have to open the case.

Re: My brother-in-law has problems

Lol. Wearing his mask around the house... That isn't going to happen! Not that I can blame him, I wouldn't either. I just spoke to him on the phone, and I can tell you he is motivated to be feeling better. He also understands the health issues involved. He is 43 with heart problems - he had a heart ...

My brother-in-law has problems

While the title of the thread has more truth than I will go into here , I do want to address his CPAP issues. My sister tells me he takes his mask off in his sleep every night, and in talking to her, and looking at his mask, he definitely has fit issues. I. showed her how to fit it correctly for him...
