After a year of active use of APAP, i Feel Great! It took just over 8 months to heal. Untreated OSA was absolutely the main cause of my depression. I was forced to listen my doc's opinion (In my case it's finnish health care and health incurance requirement) so i spent a bit of time with SSRI drugs ...

It is foolish to argue with foolish sleep nurses My advice ... ditch the dumb nurse and the dumb medical equipement provider and take control of your own treatment! Unless.......you're married to the dumb nurse and the dumb DME is a brother-in-law......or they're in some way related. Spooky! Wulfma...

Thanks! Now i have much more accurate explanations.

Hi! I'm sooo noob, i need desperately some smart, correct anwers for sleep-nurse, please. Arguments and questions are: 1. - Why people adjusting pressures if they have APAP? It's AutoPAP.. no need to adjust, it's automatic, you can leave it 4-20. 2. - Why patients need to see their data (even only d...

My condolences to Snoredog's family.

The Resmeds report everything from noon to noon w/up to 5 interruptions - or is it 4 interruptions being 5 "sleeps"?? Sleep - Interrupt - Sleep - Interrupt - Sleep - Interrupt - Sleep - Interrupt - eh, it looks like the most I've ever done is 4 in a night since xPAP. Thanks! That was very good answ...

Hi! I just got Resmed Autoset Spirit II and trying to figure out how daily/weekly/monthly/year results data is stored/erased in display view. Lets say I sleep one night and woke up three times. Everytime i stop the machine. Does daily results include then only the last third period results, or Is it...

I have played guitar 30 years... For hobby: 50's - 80's Rock'n'Roll, Rock, Rockabilly, Blues, Rhythm'n'Blues.. Great fun! 2 years was enough for me in surf,- popular,- ballroom dance,- club,- music playing group. Not funny at all. Too many hotels to woke up in the hallway because of my snoring... ab...

Finally i got cpap! After one-night home-titration with apap, i have slept two quite good nights with cpap. Still tired, but i think i'm somehow more functional now. Yesterday i had headache whole day, today it's gone. Today i suddenly surprised myself: "Hey i'm playing with my 2-year old son, and i...

After 3 days antidepressants (SSRI) "testdummy" results: - Blood pressure even higher than before med. - Fast and irregular heartbeat. - Feel like "nightmare", anxiety. - Even more hazy and exhausted, but harder to get sleep than before med. - Feel dizzy - Vomiting - Sweating - Even more harder head...

Forgot to mention... My blood pressure has rised significantly in last 6 months.. I had B-pressure check today ( i had appointment with my asthma nurse) 156/110. She recommend that i start blood pressure medication soon... More pills for the symptoms... Great BTW, what music do you enjoy? Difficult ...

I think we all are sharing only opinions, not diagnosies. That's why we are posting here. Responsibility for actual actions are 110% mine. It's very encouraging to find different perspectives from comparable group. I'm not trying to override a Doctor, but there are different types of good Doctors: E...

I took a phone call to sleep nurse today ( there's no sleep doctors you can get touch with phone), she told me to wait my appointment and cpap treatment... "cpap maybe helps with your depression too". She didn't comment about my antidepressants recipe/treatment. Of course... because she's not the do...

Thanks mth712. PM reply too.

mth712, i can see your point of view too, and i'm not disagree... quite a paradox.. I'm not "fully functional" and i am "missing work" i definitely NOT having "suicidal thoughts". Topmost feeling and emotion is exhaustion, dead tired and maybe some anger because i haven't energy enough for my kids a...
