I've been on apap for about a year now and it has yet to cure all of my symtoms. But I can say the biggest difference has been an increased sex drive, my poor wife aint getting any rest so stick with it there's hope yet (and lots of fun too)

Like many of you posting on this site I have noticed that encore reports a significant increase in AHI at the top end of my pressure range. When running a range of 8-12 my highest AHI scores were always at 12. This got me to thinking the cause was pressure induced events as has been suggested here o...

Ojafs, why are you having a problem purchasing a machine in the UK?

Thanks for the replies, unfortunately it looks as though i've been running without filters for over six months. They were not supplied with the machine and there is no filter cover either. I'm hoping this has not been TOO bad for my health. I'm contacting the sleep clinic that supplied me today but ...

I've had my apap for about six months and its starting to get noisy so I decided to clean the filters but there is no filter box on the back and it looks like the filter must be built inside the machine. I have a Respironics REMstar auto the model without the Cflex. Is this right? Can Anyone offer a...

Thanks for the advice guys, I set my machine at two over and two under the 90% pressure like suggested. Anyway my AHI reading went down to 2.6, and the flow Limitation Index plummeted to 0.3 (Think thats good?). However my average Apnea duration soared to over 60 secs (don't think that is good) and ...

Ozij, I didn't get titrated just had the sleep study which had an AHI of around 40 then was put straight onto autopap, that was about six months ago, but I'm going to have to try and get these figures down sensibly myself as the original treatment cost me the equivalent of $4000 US and funds a bit l...

I've been on apap for around six months am feeling slightly better but not better. Anyway just got my encore software today and not sure if the results are good or bad. My AHI is running between 6 and 11.7. Si between 16-22. The Obstructive Apneas at various pressures are usually much higher than th...

Shame about the melting prob as this seal could be useful, pitty I can't get any over here. Niteair let me know how you get on with the silicone grease, messy yes, but the results could be interesting.

Offerocker, that would be great. 123scuba don't ship outside of the US, and can't find any dive shops outside the US that stock even a similar product. I've sent to and ordered from the US in the past and have never come accross anything even as near as expensive as what divebooty are quoting.

I've read a few posts about Marine Sports Mask Seal and want to give it a try but I've been quoted over $30 shipping from the US anybody know how I can purchase this cheaper from the UK? Any UK suppliers?

Many Thanks

Guest,

Would luv to know, the software is on order but prob going to send the card to the sleep centre tomorrow. To me one of the most frustrating things about a sleep problem is not knowing what the hell is going on yourself. Doubt most of us would even know we snored unless someone else told us

I've just completed two weeks on cpap. The nose is no longer sore and finding the swift comfortable. Todays the first day i've actually not felt worse than before i started so i think things may be going well. Still a bit dehydrated but leg cramps not so bad, prob a bit self inflicted got to admit i...

I got mine direct from the sleep centre in London can put you on to them if you like. But also try britishsnoring.com

Can really relate to what you guys are saying. Diagnosed with depression myself Doctor never even asked if i snored before dishing out the pills. Never had that many depression symptoms anyway cept for the tired all the time bit. Anyway been on CPAP a week now and feeling exactly the same way as i d...
