Re: The why of nightime bathroom visits

http://www.nocturiacures.com Thanks, that is very interesting! I must say at this point that has to be the biggest "noticable" benefit for me. Not quite to the euphoria stage yet. Catnip, it's a big reason to stay compliant, I too got up 5 or more times, tripping over dogs, stepping in hairballs in...

Re: Nicotine usage

I quit 4 years ago (smoking, not eggplant) using Zyban. I tried the gum but couldn't stand the taste or the texture. It wasn't as bad as I thought, I wish I had tried sooner. My husband chewed. It was agony for him to get off the chew. Even now, 11 years later he craves. When he's around someone che...

Which goes on first?

When wearing a chin strap, does it go on first or does the headgear?

Re: When leak rate high,AHI low.Low leak rate, high AHI.Question

[quote]Good catch, Rose! Yes, if there was a stopper missing on one of the O2 ports on the mask, that open hole was indeed letting a lot of air escape that shouldn't have been escaping. That could very well have contributed to the bad leak rate you were seeing before you plugged that open O2 port. I...

Gotta clear the card, I have the same prob.

I downloaded the CPAP Card Utility I think at CPAP .com. Theres an option to save your data and reformat the card.

Cant open saved Data. Binary file.

I used CPAP Card Utility to save my data from my smart card. It saved it as a binary file and I cant open it.
How do I do that? Can I turn it into something I can read? I tried to open it in Notepad but all I got was a bunch of nonsense.
Thanks

Re: Sleep Testwas Miserable

Mine was a nightmare as well. Don't give up, let your Doc write the script and get going. You'll find few people who went from a lovely sleep study to a comfy mask to a good nights sleep with no problems. You're typical.
