Since you are not a new user, you don't need any advice on how to use the machine. I would suggest you to go to Buffalo, NY to buy one. I got my PB420E with heated humidifier for US$700, which could cost me over US$1000 if bought it in Toronto.

Can anyone point me to an in-depth discussion allowing me to get a better understanding of the EEG part of the sleep study. None of the books I've read go into much depth. I'd especially like to read about it in the context of Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS). Those of use with UARS never se...

My vendor, Shopper HomeHealth Care, did all the paper work for me; and then deduct the ADP portion. Even though there are some restrictions about how much the vendor can charge for the machine. Some vendors, like mine, will bill you extra for the service (or so called package deal). So for the same ...

The above message is from me. I forgot to log in.

Even with the $780 from Ontario government's Assistive Devices Program (OADP) in Ontario, I figure that we have to pay much more compared to buying from the internet. The total cost for my CPAP is about CAN$2200. If it did not covered by my insurance company, it would cost me CAN$1400, compared to U...

I just on CPAP for about 3 months and amliving in Mississauga. I may not know all your answers, but let me know if you have any question.

I can think of two possible reasons for the probelm. First reason is that the CD has defect. You can test this by loading your CD on other computer. Another possible reason is that your CD drive is too old, which has problem to read certain CD media. Some old computers in our organization has proble...

I don't know if I have the marker. I know having the marker doesn't mean heart disease and Alzheimer's Disease are inevitable. I know I have sleep apnea. I know my dad has sleep apnea. I know my parents have Alzheimer's Disease and Vascular Dementia. I know I'm worried. Now the question is, should ...

Just find out that the current issue (27 October 2005) of Nature, which is one of the leading international science journals, has several articles about the current understanding of sleep. You can check out the topics from their web site: http://www.nature.com/nature/index.html . The journal should ...

Thanks for the replies.

One of the reasons my doctor prescribed me the APAP is my complaint about aerophagia. Anyway, I will contact my doctor to get the pressure level for my CPAP and to see whether I can tolerate it.

Right after my first post-CPAP treatment sleeping study two weeks ago, the technician adjusted the pressure level of 8cm on my CPAP in the morning. After reading the detail report of the study this morning, I find out why I did not feel much improvement after increasing the level from 7 to 8cm. Here...

Does anyone know anything about this test? What I am really interested in is whether having untreated/undiagnosed OSA--with the resultant sleep issues and fatigue and brain fog, etc.--might possibly cause anything unusual to show up in a non-sleep EEG (specifically a quantitative EEG but I assume t...

You've given me some ideas on things I need to check. I'll check these out and post results . Funny though, because I've tried it on both of my PC's and it acts the same way . The searching flashlight sometimes comes on , but usually says no connection . A lot of times, no flashlight , no message, ...

I am using the software with my WinXP SP1. I don't have problem to download the data from my PB420s, except I normally have to try to make the connection several times before it gets connect. I believe it is due to my poor skill of making my own cable. You may want to check out your cable first.

I am 40.
