Re: CPAP with generator

I have this: https://a.co/d/d8Gewi7 It gives me a full night (without humidifier) on a charge, and you can charge it by wall outlet, plugging into the car cigarette lighter, or if you have a solar panel (solar panel does NOT come with the $99 version). You can buy larger ones with more power. No no...

Re: Feel Like I'm Starting Over....

Well, not having to select a clip, upload it to Imgur or similar, and etc. is a worthy thing.

I'm headed for Canada next summer and weep when I think of all the beautiful trails I could be doing.... But I did one hurricane witho...

Re: Feel Like I'm Starting Over....

Use Oscar instead https://www.sleepfiles.com/OSCAR/ and SleepHQ if you want folks to look at the complete night's data. Thank you for the link. I'll pop over and snag a copy. Oh, blast, I need to get the proper manual, too. When I got my 950, the DME mis-set it to an EPAP of 6, and a MinPS of 10 an...

Re: Feel Like I'm Starting Over....

Pugsy, Why is it the manufacturer's software always appears to be a PITA since Respironics discontinued the patient version of Encore? I actually liked that, and was able to figure out how my machine needed to be set. I remember when I first got my Beastie, and the Pain Management Doc who diagnosed ...

Feel Like I'm Starting Over....

Coming up on 17 years using a Respironics Bilevel ASV. Tomorrow, my new RESMED ASV 11 arrives.... I haven't used software for years because Encore was such a PITA, and I was sleeping quite well. But I almost feel as if I ought to keep an eye on the new Resmed for a few weeks until I'm sure of the wa...

Re: Traveling Cases

This is the one my daughter bought me. She spent several weeks in Europe out of her little carry-on , did a lot of research before she went and said this kind was what was most recommended and what worked well for her. https://a.co/d/58HnAxb That looks like a very nice case, and would definitely ke...

Re: Traveling Cases

Ozij, I can't do backpacks... my back won't tolerate them. Otherwise I know of a great one which I gifted a friend for her birthday. My friend loves this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CZ6DWVDR?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_3&th=1 I want a single case because I only have two hands. I ...

Re: CPAP with generator

I have a whole house generator which simply supplies power to the house and the CPAP works as usual.

I have not tried one for car camping, though.

Traveling Cases

Well, the deed is done. I put down the deposit for the luxury part of the vacation I've been planning for 21 years. Now to plan the REST of the vacation at my more NORMAL budget! When I first visited the Canadian Rockies with my husband in 2004, we stopped at the overlook for the Spiral Tunnels. Har...

Re: If CPAP won't work for you at all...

Sounds like you might want to check to see if you would qualify for the Inspire procedure.....be aware that not everyone qualifies for it and it comes with some rather ugly baggage as well. Now that catches my attention. I've been seeing a bunch of ads for the device, but noted that they mention it...

Re: If CPAP won't work for you at all...

PhotoWolf, Nope, ASV is a whole different kettle of fish. CPAP stands for continuous positive airway pressure. You get the same pressure breathing as breathing out. I know lots of people who do great with these. Myself, I couldn't handle it. APAP is Automatic Positive Airway Pressure and relies on t...

My Dad got power back before we did. W moved over to his house, dogs, Bipap and all. I hooked up the machine and ...
