Ramp & re-set clock

Hi. I will re-set the ramp to zero. The clock is only off by about 15 minutes so that's no big deal. Thanks all. Happy weekend, have a good night!

how to change the internal clock?

Hi GoofProof ... Thank you for making me smile, it helps get through this peculiar way of sleeping; life with a mask, hose & machine. I can't afford the newer software. However, I must say, GP you are really funny and you add your own bit of twisted wry humor to an otherwise dry annoying subject ma...

No. I don't use a hose cover, but what a great idea... I never thought of it. I do move the hose around a lot across the headboard, etc. Maybe that is causing false snores? Thanks oldgearhead. What is the best place to get a hosecover??

EncorePro Snore Index is suddenly through the roof...

Been using apap and EncorePro for 19 nights (but who's counting) and the past 3 nightly reports give snore indexes outrageously high at (400+ per night) when they have normally been low (15-40 snores per night). Last night I was in bed, just reading for 5-10 mins with my apap on and I turned it off ...

Nerve & Osteo stupport

Hi David. Welcome. It's interesting to read about a natural alternative that works for you. Like many people here, I struggle with falling asleep and staying asleep. Since I take a calcium supplement for my bones anyway, maybe the product you mentioned is worth a try. What amount of Nerve & Osteo do...

xanax, clonopin

I ditto Jere and GoofyUT. Just having the script on hand is calming and reassures me; if I choose to take one or not, at least I have the choice. Just like having a doc that won't really hear what you're saying... not having a choice also worsens one's anxiety. Best wishes to all for a good night sl...

osa, weight gain

I know my OSA makes me so sleepy I don't feel like exercising or eating right and I have gained weight. However, my Dr. says that losing even 5-10 lbs can make a difference in OSA patients. The problem is having the energy to lose weight. Hopefully after a few weeks on cpap we will have the energy n...

same problem, report pages are blank

I just started having the same problem, after 10 days of MyEncore working just fine, yesterday it started having a problem with blank pages on the reports. Also, a separate issue, the shaded column that represents the 90% column is off by one column to the right. It should shift one to the left, and...

Thanks SnoreDog. What is LES ? Does taping the mouth help prevent swallowing air?

variable breathing percentage, stage 3-4 sleep

Day 12 on apap. My variable breathing percentages are usually very low 2% - 11% per night. I had one good night recently, my recorded AHI was 0.5 and my variable breathing was N/A (none). Coincidence? Maybe no variable breathing means I had steady breathing all night. Recently on 2 back-to-back slee...

Burping, letting out air, bubbles from mouth

Today was my day 12 on apap and I am noticing when I awaken during the night I must release air and bubbles from my mouth. It's a weird fish-like action that is involuntary; I discharge a sizeable build-up of air from my mouth accompanied by blowing raspberry-like sounds from my lips. This is strang...

xanax (alprazolam) and klonopin (clonazepam)

HI GoofyUT! I use both meds in subject line as needed. I am blessed with a good M.D. who believes in listening to the patient. I'm certainly not addicted, but I do need some help sometimes with anxiety and panic issues. Having the medications on hand, and knowing I can use them if I desire to is ca...
