Re: Ping.. Lazy SleepyHead Programmer is still alive.
Mark, I'm sorry for your difficulties. I can't help in any physical ways, but I promise to add you to my daily prayers. You have made a difference in my life and the lives of others who use your software. I'm new to CPAP and your program made it possible for me to get a handle on my apnea and get th...

Re: Got a new battery pack for my CPAP
Archangle, I bought my Resmed DC adapter from cpap.com and already used this setup a few times to test it out. Wish that adapter wasn't so expensive and large, but that's the way it is when you have a Resmed S9. I will actually get 16 hours of generator time every day, so there will be plenty of cha...

Got a new battery pack for my CPAP
I'm fairly new to CPAP and I have been preparing for a trip to Canada to a remote island where I will spend a week with the only power being a generator during the day. I searched this forum and other places on the internet to figure out the best way to power my CPAP by battery. I thought about buyi...

Re: Poor Quality Swift FX Nasal Pillow
I haven't put my recent replacement next to my old pillows. However, the recent replacement pillows I got from my DME do feel different than the originals that came with my mask. The markings on them are the same, but they are not as comfortable. I would use both the medium or the large depending on...

Re: ResMed S9 AutoSet Slim Tube w/ Mirage Quattro
I started on CPAP about 2 months ago. I was on 8cm of pressure and I got used to it after a few weeks. The exhale pressure relief setting of 3 helped me some, on the autoset that is the EPR setting. I also used the ramp for a few weeks. I've reached the point where 8cm isn't much at all and I've lea...

Re: Best *PAP with exhalation relief?
I've been doing this for about 2 months now. I have had three machines in that timeframe. My insurance company rents for the first three months so that made switching machines in the first few months a lot easier. I made sure each machine I got had full data so I could track what was going on in Sle...

Re: Philips System 1 pro or ResMed Escape
I just started on CPAP a few months ago. My first machine was a PR System One Pro with Auto IQ that I used for a month. It was a great machine, but I had to switch to an auto. If I could use a single set pressure for treatment I would happily use that model again. I have found tracking my data in Sl...

First nights upgraded from Pro to Auto
I got my Respironics 550 Auto CPAP as an upgrade from a Respironics Pro with AutoIQ after being on CPAP for a month. Good: I much prefer the auto pressure to a fixed pressure. I was on a fixed 8, but my first night on the auto it ranged between 8 and 10 with a possible range of 8 to 14. I wasn't rol...

Re: 2 weeks on CPAP
Pugsy, She is wanting to analyze the data for herself by looking at just what I would in Sleepyhead. I copied the data from the SD card to my computer and I was thinking I could zip it and email it. I'm assuming it would work that way, but I'm not certain she will know how to unzip it. I didn't see ...

Re: 2 weeks on CPAP
Wow! My sleep doc is awesome! I went over the details of my data with her and she asked me whether I would prefer to increase my pressure or get an auto machine. She agreed with me that the auto machine was probably the best choice, but was concerned with how much more it would cost me. But, it's re...

Re: 2 weeks on CPAP
John and RandyJ, Thanks for the replies! I didn't think about the reason for the snores that I was sleeping better. There is no doubt I am sleeping better when I'm able to sleep. I don't know my doctor very well. I'll probably wait to see her and see about changes before I tinker with pressure or ac...

2 weeks on CPAP
I was diagnosed with moderate apnea that is positional and I've been on CPAP for over 2 weeks with a pressure of 8. My oxygen stayed above 90 for my study. I found this forum and learned a lot from lurking here before I met with my DME. I was able to get a CPAP with full data and that has really mad...
