Re: Smart Card Use With 2 Machines

Yes they will work in both machines. I have a M series and the M series auto with A-flex and used the same card in both before.

Tried a Hybrid

Been a while since I have posted here. Things have been ok on the apnea thing. Lately though my numbers have been higher and all over the place. So I am thinking something needs to change. Well anyway I have been using a F&P 431 for a while and think I need to try something else, so I got the Hybrid...

Humidity and AHI

Hi everyone, Been a while since I have been here, hope all are doing well. Things have been going pretty good for quite a while, with ahi keeping below that magic 5 number. Well this summer I have been having the numbers getting uglier, hanging around 7 or 8! Last week I turned down my humidifier fr...

Lucid, Sounds like me to a T!! I got to go to the sleep study after my PCP sent me. Did it all in one night a split study, with a ahi 0f 53. I have yet to hear from the Sleep Doc and he was listed as being paid on insurance, that was right at a year ago!! I got the card reader and software, and thro...

Been Awhile (Newbies don't give up!)

I thought I would check in since it has been a while since I have posted. It is just coming up on a year since I started this sleep apnea stuff. I am finally where things are working pretty good. I have been running around 3 to 4 for a AHi for the last several months, but still tweaking to get bette...

Sarah, I had a similar experience with the DME. I had them order a Respironics auto w/Aflex. Had to wait because they didn't have it in stock, so... It finally comes in and I take off work to go get it, the gal comes in and puts it on the table and starts showing me it. I ask where to set the A-flex...

I had the same thing happen to me. I had the Doc write the script specifically for A-Flex. I waited for them to order since they said they were out. Took a week or so, then they told me they had it. So I took off work one afternoon and went to get it. they brought me out the regular Auto with C-flex...

I will throw another thing in on this... Define how you would determine what sleepy is? How tired would you have to be to be considered too tired to drive? What if the person was sick, and feeling tired? And maybe not even have any sleep apnea. There are so many things that can make sleepy people, s...

Finally had it happen!!

Last night I finally broke below the magic 5 AHI number I didn't by much, a 4.5 but this is the first time, and my lowest yet. My leak numbers didn't look any better then they usually do either. So I am sure I can get better yet, if I can get a better leak rate. I have been running right around 6 ah...

My leak averages have been pretty close to what the chart says, and none of the large leaks have been showing, but they are still pretty rough lines at that. The nights where I have been even close to the magic 5 ahi number are a lot straighter with less of the peaks. It seems that whenever I get a ...

It's all good I have left things alone for the last several days, things are better I had a ahi of 5.2 last night and 6 something the night before. One thing I have tried is I hooked my hose up to a hook on the headboard the last 2...

Snoredog, What do you mean by train wreck? My ahi is a fair amount lower then before and it must be because i slept on my side (Thank you for that advice) Last night was even a bit better ahi at 6 something. I figure I might give it a few more nights to see what happens now before I change things ag...

Another chart

Here is a chart from last night better for sure. I set it close to what Snoredog recomended. I also slept on my side, at least I think I did most of the night and the leaks were better then I figured they would be.
