I have had to sit up sleeping the last two nights due to a Epley maneuver to try to correct my positional vertigo. The one thing that surprised me has been my nightly AHI has been sky high at over 16.3 the last two nights. My leak rate was 1.32 last night due to the back strap slid up my head. I als...

will have to remember to watch this show and see what they have to say about OSA. I just watched a show on monday night called mystery er and it was about a guy that was having heart problems and the medicine wasn't helping him and a friend told him to get a sleep study and his heart problems went a...

I had my titration on July 6,2006 and got my cpap on July 20, 2006. I just recently got my original prescription for my cpap and a mask as you should too. Never no when you might need it or want to buy a new cpap for backup.I am going to do that since mine is two years old.

Slinky I am sure my leaks need to be fixedand am glad Ai is goodbut wonder why my HI is so high. I will talk to my sleep doc about the bipap machine and the report I found or send him a copy of it and suggest that I try a bipap and see what he says. Brenda as far as my leaks go I don't mouth breath ...

thanks Slinky I did a search and found out that he recomends a bilevel. I coppied the report and will take it to my sleep doc on my next appointment next year. The report is called UARS: A critical link to optimizing pap therapy results by Barry Krakow.

I called my DME noing it was there and aske...

What I was told was she was getting the data when it happened since it was her 2nd day she didn't no what she was doing and shouldn't have been messing with my cpap. What upsets me today is when I was in the back and she was talki...

Peggy I know how to put zippers in maybe a short one would work. They cost a lot the longer they are will have to see how much the short ones are. Then see if I remember how to put one in. Its been a long time since I used to put them in my sons pants when they were young. They are 31 and soon to be...

Peggy I am not putting velcro in them because the filling would get caught in the velcro and not stay closed. Am trying to work on fixing that tho Brooke On the side where the pillow is hand stiched take the stiches loose and take some of the filling out or use a thinner bed pillow under the pillowp...

Jeff I really liked my new sleep doctor it is night and day difference in my care with the new one. He did things that my old sleep doc never did in all most 2 years I had him. My old doctor only saw me 3 times in 2 years. I had lots of issues that he never addressed either. No wonder I gave up usin...

I too live in Columbus, OH and tomorrow I am going to a new sleep doctor that I heard about on this forum. I will let you no how I like him. I didn't like my first sleep doctor either or my DME. This one is sleep lab sleep doctor and DME all in one.
