Re: Empty water chamber daily??

My Resmed S9 humidifier tank has 3 marks; Full, 1/2 full, 1 night to go, so when I get down low, I dump, rinse, maybe disinfect, refill.

Rinsing 'er out every three days seems to work pretty gud, ya.

Re: Zeo PC Viewer Installation Guide for Bedside Models

Can somebody please answer this question by a newbie: if I buy an unused the older bedside version of the Zeo, will I be able to get three months use out of the sensors and will I be able to view and store the hypnograms on a PC if I follow all the instructions published on these forums? I would ge...

Re: CPAP phone call

I'm on a high deductible plan presently and so if the DME, to greedily suit themselves, orders me everything, I have to pay for everything out of pocket. The only benefit I get is the "negotiated rate" but in this case that price is MORE than what our gracious hosts here charge for the same part. Th...

Re: CPAP phone call

I did order supplies once using that automated system. It asked me if I wanted to reorder supplies. I said yes. It said "OK, thank you" and hung up. HEY! What supplies did I just order?! Where to I pick them up or are they being mailed (my DME is local) and if so to where?! I never had supplies mail...

Re: CPAP phone call

My (former) DME outsourced to professional harassers, it might be the company you mention. The call every so often "needing to talk to me about my medical treatment". I ignore them. At least they stopped leaving messages so I didn't have to go into voice mail each time to delete.

Thank you Ms. Johnson. I feel validated. By the way, your profile picture looks very attractive this evening. Did you have your scales done recently (LOL)

Re: Resmed S9 Autoset Acting Up

I have Win 8.0 on this computer. I wouldn't be surprised, and now that you mention it, it was around the time I got these Win 8 computers the Resmed started barking. Yes, I know you said Win 8.1 but... hummmm...

Re: Resmed S9 Autoset Acting Up

I've noticed mine acting funky, too, leaving off the flow chart in SH, for one. Ya, my Resmed says the data card is funky, but Windows says its fine. Every time I reboot the Resmed it says my card is corrupt and needs to be wiped. I should go see if it recorded the detail stuff last night... yup, i...

Re: Resmed S9 Autoset Acting Up

Must have been aliens, as after power down/power up it seems to be fine. My main curiosity in posting and taking up bandwidth was if others have seen this behavior before and if it means anything.

Thanks.

Re: Resmed S9 Autoset Acting Up

At first I thought it said last data Aug 6th, but I re-imported and it has data for last night at 6 hrs 33 min, which is about right and the start / end time are right. AHI 0.21 (nice!)

Resmed S9 Autoset Acting Up

Hmmm.... for the last few nights my Resmed S9 Autoset said I had a usage of 5.8 hours when I know I slept longer than that. Then this evening I check the display and it should say 0.0 hours since it is past noon, but lo and behold, it said 5.8 hrs still. So I reboot the machine (disconnect power, wa...

Re: Sleep Aids with Sleep Apnea?

I take 50 mg of store brand Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) each night. It seems to help. My wife takes more, but she has screwed up sleep due to other medical conditions.

Re: Leg cramps

I do take Gabapentin (Neurontin) for my Peripheral Neuropathy and for my sleep. It is also good for PMLD and RSL. I took gabapentin (Neurontin) for about 60 days for neuropathic pain (April & May). It worked well for that, but... Your mileage may vary, but it befuddled my thinking and took me to "d...
