Hi Steve, thanks for asking but not too much different here. I tried 10 for pressure, turned off the ramp and taped my mouth. I still had a pretty good headache but thought i felt more energetic yesterday. Last night I increased it to 11 (i know i should give it longer but really just want to feel n...

Thank you so much Steve. Yes everything works as you said. I had already performed all the changes that you suggested previously, exept for turning the ramp off - which i will. It doestn bother me at all to wear the mask at full pressure right from the start, so thats what ill do. Ok I wont take up ...

Dear Steve and Den. Ok OK I went and played with my machine again just to double check. I think where my confusion starts is with the fact that i didnt take the time to read what i was changing! What i thought was a "low" pressure setting was actually CPAP "start" pressure! So i am assuming this is ...

Hi. Im new here but have also had my doctor prescribe sleeping pills. "Amitriptylene" actaully. I told him that i had taken sleep aids a couple times before and woke up in the morning feeling like death. However just to see i tried it again this time cutting the little pill in half --to the same res...

Hi again Den. My machine is definately an S8 Elite and there is indeed a low pressure setting and a high or max i guess. I accessed the clincians menu and set the min pressure from 4up to 7 and the max pressure at 9. I actually just had a nap and when i checked the efficacy data i noticed that i rea...

Hi Den, definately the elite. Says right on it and bought it new. Whats your thoughts?

Thanks snoregirl ill try that tonight!

Thank you so much Steve for your input. Yes i guess i forgot to put on my other posts how ive been a human guinea pig lately. Ive seen my original sleep specialist several times now but he only has the origainal study to go by and as i said i didnt sleep! So it shows very little info/events. Ive had...

I just figured out how to read my AHI on my machine last night and this morning it said AHI-3, AI-0 HI-3. I assume this means i had an average of 3 hypopneas an hour. And i feel about as crappy as one can feel and still be alive... is this significant enough to cause this (if indeed the machine is a...

Yes i know your right about allowing some time for the changes to take effect. Just so darn frustrated and feel like someway somehow something will work and ill just wake up feeling refreshed and super! (i know this will never happen but i can dream) So yes perhaps ill just tape my mouth tonight and...

Thanks for the input, yes i think maybe my mouth may be open. Duct tape tonight it is -thanks!

Yes i feel terrible and thank you so much for your reply-i know im not alone with these crappy feelings now that ive found this board. I didnt give much history before ill give abit now. It was about 2 yrs ago i was first diagnosed with sleep apnea. I went for a sleep study in Calgary. I couldnt get...

Like so many others i read about i too didnt sleep on my study and was prescribed a pressure of 4-7. Thing is ive been on 3 different machines now for almost 2 yrs and dont feel at all any better! Ive got to get this figured out as it makes me feel like im dying-serious. I think i might be losing my...
