One CRAZY hour... 49 events

The other morning when I got up, I checked the machine as I always do to see how my events were. Can you imagine my surprise when I saw 7.9 (instead of the under 1 that I usually see). So I popped the card into the computer to look at it on Sleepyhead. What I saw was during the one hour between 3:40...

Love those Pad-a-Cheeks!! I couldn't use my mask without them.

Congratulations to you!

Re: Occasional high AHI readings

I've been on CPAP for a little over a year and there have been at least 3 nights where I had crazy clusters of hypopneas of 28 or more. Never did figure out what happened (aliens??!!) I also figured I would not worry unless it was something that was happening consistently, which it wasn't.

Re: OT - My Baby Girl, Julie

ADORABLE!! Sabu looks like he's saying, "Are you kidding me? you want me to pose with this little thing?"

I have cats... but I LOVE dogs also.

And I love to see all the pets pictures... some day I will figure out how to upload one of my own!!

Re: How Many Of Us Actually LIKE PAP ?

One year in for me and am totally hooked on it. But I don't "love" it - that's a strong phrase! But I certainly don't "Hate" it any more like I did in the beginning. I find it comforting most nights and then there are those nights that it feels like a huge bowl on my face. But I'm in it for the long...

Re: Solution to Qauttro FX FF mask riding up into eyes.

This looks interesting! Thank you for posting it. I just might try it. But I think my biggest problem with the Quattro is the leaks.

I am curious ... how did you modify the mask cushion?

Re: I really dislike the Resmed Quattro straps

If I were you, I would look into replacing that "no name" headgear with one from Resmed that belongs with the mask. I had a similar problem when I reordered new tubing from Apria and they sent me "no name" tubing that felt like I could put my finger right through it. I called them and told them I wo...

Re: Quietus Liners

The PadACheek liners need to be cut to fit your mask or face.

Re: Humidifier question - Do you need to use distilled water or

After spending a whole day trying to clean the "orange" gunk out of my humidifier, I now exclusively use distilled water - even to clean it.

Re: What Do I Do About Ex-DME Picking Up Their Equipment?

When my insurance company changed suppliers, the old supplier sent a messenger to pick up my old machine. I think they called me to tell me when they would. It was done within about 3 weeks. I got a receipt.
I gave it to them without the SD card in it.

Re: Has everyone gone insane? CPAP Monitoring/Modems & SD Cards?

I started in March with a brick (I was naive) and then in April I got the S9 Autoset. I got a note and envelope in the mail in middle of April for me to send the SD card back, but I told him I was only on the machine for a few weeks, so he said send it in later. I never did, they never asked. In Jul...

Re: 2 nights no power - no cpap - THANKS SANDY!

Thanks for the replies everyone! Still no power. It's getting old and cold now. As far as being prepared, since I've only been on CPAP since last March, I hadn't thought about a prolonged power outage and then when I started reading the whole blog about the deep marine cycle battery, etc., it went r...

2 nights no power - no cpap - THANKS SANDY!

So 2 nights and no power and no back up batteries, so 2 nights without using the CPAP. And I actually miss it!! I can't even believe I just said that. I'm quite tired! Anyway, hopefully our power will come back on soon.... but who knows, because so many people on Long Island in New York are without....
