I like my Resmed S9 and travel bag just the way they are, thank you. It is small, compact, easy to travel with, nice pocket for Rx papers (papers that no security agent nor airline has ever asked to look at anywhere in the world). I'll 2nd the requests for streaming data, or a means to access it wit...

Good for you, Sharrykb! I have the same machine, but I forget if the pressure of 11.2 is peak or average, but regardless, an AHI of 1.5 is good. You did well! I very much like my S9 Autoset. Good choice! I have a "full face" (covers nose and mouth) mask and in the beginning I would wake up and want ...

I don't know about deep sleep, but I just started this drug about 2 weeks ago for neuropathic "pain" (moderate flu-like body aches) which it eliminated from the start (ya!) and it *does* make me quite groggy if I take 300 mg in 1 dose, which I do just before bed, and so it does help me sleep in gene...

The split study night that PAP was started, my feet immediately began to warm up. Before PAP, I was wearing double wool socks to bed. After PAP, no socks, no painful toes. I have to think that continued desats would have eventually contributed to nerve damage. My mother, age 96, snores and has mild...

Max, neuropathy stands for destruction of nerves. How do we regenerate our nerves? Well, generally they don't. Ever. BUT, in some cases, not often, they do rewire and repair. Demyelination is the loss of the sheath around the nerve and the body [does]/[can]/[is seen to] try to fix that. This damage...

kaiasgram: Thanks! It's been a while, eh? Avi: Yes, I was told there is no cure to my peripheral / polyneuropathy. However, based on my research, depending on the cause / type, there may be some treatments that might slow its progression. I'm seeing a new neurologist Thursday to get another opinion ...

I commented on Dr. Park's blog post: In part: I have progressive peripheral (and maybe central) polyneuropathy, likely CMT2, affecting numerous parts of my body (eye, bowel, feet, legs and now the right hand), and have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea. After treatment for obstructive sleep...

The issue is that the software, Performance Maximizer is a 24 bit program That would be 32 bit, rather than 24. I bet that the graph components were "hard coded" to look in the C:\Windows\System or C:\Windows\System32 folder, but since you installed on a 64 bit system, that xml file went into SysWO...

Hi! I haven't logged on to this forum in so long. Everything has been pretty good, I went to school for my LPN, and got my license! (Thanks to cpap). I went to the eye doc today, (last visit was in Aug) I would like to wear contact lenses. He gave me the intraoccular pressure test, and low and beho...

My question is this...has anyone had actual success with drug-free pain relief? I have been told that a raw food diet helps to decrease inflammation. I have also read the claims about the paleo/primal diet. Please only respond if you have had actual experience with relieving pain thanks to some dru...

I don't have such analysis, but I do have a case: my wife. Neurologist ordered a sleep study for my wife based on neurological issues, rather than a suspicion of apnea. It showed about 50% sleep efficiency, no REM, alpha wave intrusions and "tortured sleep" with a diagnosis of "Chronic Insomnia" (ev...

The Hereditary Neuropathy Foundation has brought to my attention information released by the Neuromuscular Disease Center, Washington University, in St Louis that Statins (Lovastatin, Prevastatin, Simvastatin) exacerbate neuropathy so I'm immediately (sound of tires screeching) and permanently stopp...

About a year ago I started simvastatin, went for about 6 months with no ill effects, then had an ER visit for a colonic neuro motility event, went off simvastatin for about 6 months to see if that was the cause (it was not; it was most likely caused by my systemic polyneuropathy), but after going of...
