I was thinking a computer backup power supply, would need to see how much a CPAP machine draws but I'd bet it'll last a long while with a big enough power supply..

nice thing is you wouldn't even know it'd kicked on unless you had an alarm on the backup power.

I did this, works ok

my nose still tender in the morn though, prolly from being all puffed out all night.

Most folks will prolly tell you your head gear is too tight, prolly is. I loosened mine up and it eased some of the soreness. feels way too loose but it hangs on there.

I did on my sleep study They woke me up 6:30 am, I was all disoriented discombobulated and throughly confuzzled...seems it has been a long time since stage 4 sleep and I didn't recognize it. My stomach was all queezy and such well she got the wiring unplugged and I showered all the grease out of my ...

oh and another thing

prior to CPAP I was getting up to pee 3-4 times a night ez

off CPAP last few days I didn't have to get up once??? sup with that?


kinda wondering if I'm cured

I got a nasty head cold, totally plugged my nose up. All I have for a mask is the swift LT in my sig, no full face jobber yet. DME tells me I gotta wait 6mo before my insurance will purchase a new one for me. I plan to get the FF for backup. with the nose all plugged I can't get any air without mout...

Before CPAP it was to go to the restroom, 3-4 times a night.

When I got my CPAP my schedule switched to graveyards, so now I'm trying to get used to the CPAP AND Graveyard shift at the same time.


I'm awake, A LOT.

Now I'm sick to boot.

life sucks right now

now I'm sick head cold, can't breathe thru my swift LT. No FF mask yet. I was diagnosed because my blood pressure was thru the roof, unable to control my BP thru medicine I was ordered a sleep study. Severe OSA. I'm going to promote out of graveyards soon hopefully, in hindsight I wouldn't take a sh...

that would be me I tried some OTC pills yesterday morning and I got a decent sleep, maybe 5 hours. with the CPAP I woke feeling ok, not like before! I talked to the wife and she's gonna dissapear with the kids today (Saturday) or I'd be screwed for sleep. They arn't trained for daddy working night s...

OSA qualify as an ADA disablilty?

working nights wouldn't be bad, if I wern't so tired. I get to feeling Ill in about three days, stomach acid goes nuts (already started prolosec), mood turns rotten and I can't remember or function. I'm going to give the sleep aid a try, 1 good days rest will tide me over for a night or two. I have ...

Rotated into Graves, can't sleep during the day and I have ~5 more weeks of this crap before I get back into *almost* normal hours. I'd make a terrible vampire I always felt horrible (huge understatement) if I ever tried to take OTC sleep aids, Tylenol PM etc, now I'm on CPAP think I'd wake up not f...

7.2, 7.4, 7.6, 8, 9, and now 11

same pressure, leak rates very low to zero.
wonder why?

I've been sleeping decent.

maybe I ain't been wearing mine long enough but to me your all a bunch of freaks, wireless CPAP?? LOL WTF??? I've been tired as heck the last few days, mostly because I'm not getting enough sleep from working the OT. Far as the treatment is concerned I'm not having any problems with my mask., wouldn...

My leak rate is anywhere from 0 to .6, wait a full week? Should I leave it at 9 then and just see how it goes for ahwile or go back down to 8? I felt pretty comfortable at 9, I set my ramp to 5 mins and bumped up the starting ramp to 7 I think. I was feeling suffocating at too low of a ramp setting....

Hello all, I was prescribed a pressure of 8, my DME set the machine to 8 and sent me on my way after the initial 30-40 minutes of explaining and paper signing. my first night at 8 I had an AHI of 22+, so I set the machine to 8.4. My AHI went down to 8 now I'm up at a setting of 9, AHI was 7.4 after ...
