Hello again all,
My neighbor has been using my CPAp (and I his) and is getting better results than me. His pressure had been set at 8 and he needed 9.6....Now, how to pry it from his hands?
Thanks again!
Jean

Thanks folks, I think that's a good idea...trading machines for a bit. I am going to push to do that. This neighbor is having many of the problems associated with untreated sleep apnea. He's getting scared now. The info on changing pressures will be helpful since we'll probably need to do that for m...

Hi all, It's been a long time since I've been here, nice to see some familiar folks and also some not-so-familiar ones too! I've been doing fine with the cpap (such as it is), but I have a neighbor who is starting to fear for his life and health after many years of non-compliance. He has asked for m...

I can't say I LOVE using it (I'd have to be crazy) But I love what it does for me. I accidentally fell asleep without it on for a couple of hours in the morning when I should have gotten up and once recently I fell asleep at night without it on and went the whole night without. I can tell you that i...

Sorry you are having to go through all this! If people would only do their jobs.... Regarding other places; Cleveland Clinic is highly overrated. As for their hospital, I wouldn't go there for a bandaid. Although, it's entirely possible their sleep lab is a different story. Just don't think their na...

About 2.5 to 5.0. Still trying to zone in on a pressure I can live with and still not have to tape!

How many of you are using a pressure that is significantly different from your prescribed pressure?
Mine's about 2cm higher...

unbelievable!

SoultionFinder gave me a thought. When my kids were babies, I used to use uncooked rice and dish soap and shook it up to get the bottles clean. Worked like magic. I wonder if this would work for the chambers?

I didn't tell him that 4 won't work, because although he seems like a decent enough guy, I don't think he wants me to go against his orders. So, I'll have do what works for me. If I really needed higher pressures, I'd have to deal with them, but I don't think I want to sacrifice comfort for the poss...

What they all said!
I couldn't wrap my mind around the whole thing a few months back, but with the knowledge, compassion and humor of this group, I now feel that I can do this. In fact, I couldn't NOT do it!

I like the "rounding" theory, because mine has less total hours and also less difference between the run time and used time...

My sleep guy read my 2 week download on APAP trial at 6/12. Numbers look pretty good, AHI usually around 2 to 4 or so. I get to keep the Vantage instead of the Elite I started on (yay!) But now he wants me at 4/14. I can't/won't do it since anything over 10.4 wakes me up and I can't breathe at anyth...

Maybe they didn't test bigk's...
