I've been happy with my Aura Headrest, by AEIOMed. But what works for me may not work for you. I recommend reading through as many posts as you can tolerate. Take notes about pros and cons of various masks, and try to make your best educated guess. I went through four different masks before I found ...

It's good you are getting treated. I went through about 25+ years of being tired and not knowing why. Doctors could not find anything wrong with me. They suggested going to a psychologist for depression. I told them I was not depressed. Not one single doctor suggested I get checked out for OSA. Slee...

Ah. Thanks. Going to learn a lot more now.

That's interesting, the size of her Avatar. I was not able to upload a picture unless it was 100X100 pixels or less. The profile setup screen would not let me continue until my picture was cut down to size.

I think the show would be an instant success. With cable and satellite and all the specialty shows, why not have one on this topic? Think of all the new hose head recruits that may benefit from getting a sleep study. Advertising $$$: Sleep clinics, CPAP manufacturers, and so on. Lots of good opportu...

Thanks Rested Gal for all the good info about the Encore Pro software. I know this is horrible, but what is AHI? I'm such a rookie. Can't wait to get my card reader so I can finally see what is happening while I sleep. I was a little disappointed that I will not be able to see my old data (for the m...

Life changing for me too. After going undiagnosed for over 20 years. Was put on meds for depression, nothing helped. Wasted 20 years being tired. It was the reason I never finished medical school; too damn tired. I can not believe how many doctors I went to, thinking I might be depressed. Kept telli...

To those using the Remstar and Encore software: I installed it for the first time and will soon have my card reader. Looking forward to learning more. Here are some questions I have. 1. What kind of data gets recorded and reported? 2. What can you learn from the reports? 3. How many nights of data w...

I'm convinced, Linda and Rested Gal should join forces and start a CPAP consulting company. They are so informed and helpful!!! They could help millions of hose-heads avoid countless nights of torture with their knowledge and experience. Maybe even have some TV show, on how to modify your mask to ma...

Please see question below about smart card in Remstar. Ooops, forgot to mention that I did install the MyEncore software for EncorePro 1.5. However, I get an error when trying to run it, but I think it is due to not having my card reader installed yet and not having any data in Encore Pro. This is w...

since I bypassed the whole clinic visit to determine my preferred settings. Wow, my kinda guy. . What pressures did you set your auto at? How high have you seen it get (during the night when you can tell it's gushing - have you looked)? You're going to love the software to monitor your own progress...

Three cheers for the Aura Headrest. I've got my rubberband on mine too. Luckily I found a good one in the house. Going to go shopping for some good strong rubberbands this weekend. Finally, sleeping on my sides again without the torture. It's a great feeling when you find a mask that works for you. ...

Cancelled my $200 order for Encore. Downloaded it for free and installed it. Took a little figuring out, as there was some database intallation that had to be done first. But got it working and most importantly, it was FREE. That was a close call, almost threw away perfectly good money. Now I have t...

Another vote for the Remstar Auto with C-Flex. It's the only one I've owned, so can't compare with others, but I'm happy with it. Probably best to read up on it and compare features with others you are considering. Seems to be a popular unit, which is usually a good sign.

I agree, find another DME. Sounds like they are taking advantage of you and your insurance company to make some easy money. I never used a DME. Heck, I don't even know what it stands for. I got my prescription and immediately faxed it to cpap.com. Then I ordered an Auto CPAP and have been feeling be...
