Interesting, thanks. I'll email them and see what they say. Great tip.

Thanks so much for the suggestions. I'll re-jig my power supply, add a battery backup and surge protector, and turn off auto stop. Too bad there is no place a message goes to and stays till you erase it. Are you listening, Resmed?

My Airsense 11 quits during the night.I have to manually restart it. There is an on screen message, but it disappears before I can get the full face mask off and my glasses, which I need to read, on my face. Is there a place to go to, to retrieve what that message was?

Sounds promising so far...

Have been following the posts on the new Resmed Quattro FX mask with interest. Currently I use a medium sized Quattro FFM along with a liner (Pad-a-cheek liner), which still gives me occasional mask "farts" . Typical AHI 0.7 I have a mustache and beard, kept short by choice, (and grey, not by choice...

Yes, in Canada your family doctor can. Your provincial CPAP equipment funding form may require a sleep specialist's signature. I think in Ontario a sleep study needs to be done to qualify for the original equipment. If it needs modifying (different mask, different machine.....), any licensed physici...

No problem,all in a day's work......:~)

Here's the "official" list of issues: http://www.pfizer.com/files/products/uspi_benadryl.pdf Most of them are not specifically around Benadryl itself, but around accompanying medical conditions, or the combination with other medications. You should vary your antihistamines, as you might get used to ...

Antidepressants, like many other treatments, can be helpful in fighting depression. Depression is often multifactorial, and can be contributed to by many different causes, including personal and intrapersonal stress, financial issues (especially since the recent recession), hereditary factors, lack ...

Thought of two things and tried both-they work 1. The strings that some people use to keep their glasses hanging on their chest when they don't wear them. I put them on the top restraining strap of the mask (the one that loops closed with velcro) They hung under my chin loosely and I put them behind...

Well, I've been on CPAP for about 1 1/2 years. Frustratingly I wake up nightly with the mask off. Don't remember taking it off. Have had my pressure increased to 9 from 7, to no avail (after analysis) I'm using a Resmed Elite S8, Aussie tube, and Aura/Twilght pillows OR Swift Mirage Nasal Pillows wh...

Your neurological issues concern me. Have you had an MRI and/or PET scan? These plus an EEG are needed. Not all sleep apnea is OSA, some neurological issues cause the brain's control of sleep to go astray. Make sure a neurologist has cleared you!

Ozij and RG you are both just great!

That didn't take long!

This forum is so helpful

OSA is officially recognized and listed as a risk factor for high BP by the Canadian Hypertension Society. I ask all my patients with elevated BP about sleep distubances, and ask them to check with their sleeping partners as well. Any positive answers, and they get sent for a sleep study. A great wa...
