WOW! I called today to get copies of my studies and my script and check on my supplies order. I told them I had the software and whatnot, and the lady asked me if I'd changed any settings. I was honest that I had, and explained my reasoning, and she was quite cool about it. She gave me the requisite...

I also take the ACE inhibitor Accupril and have had the cough for years. I only continue to take ACE inhibitor because it helps protect small blood vessels in the kidneys which is beneficial for me. I also take Diovan to help control the blood pressure and have had no side effects I've noticed from...

A "double blind" study means that neither the person giving the therapy, nor the the person revievinig it know which therapy was given.

Forget scrounging at Radio Shack to find the parts you need to make your own adapter. Buy an adapter made by the folks who made your CPAP.

I have, however, had a number of RFA (radio frequency ablation - they use t...

Oh, also does anyone have the clinician manual for the Respironics BiPAP AutoSV?

The new pillow was great last night! very comfortable and significantly lower incidence of big leaks from a normal pillow pushing the mask around.

This forum has given me hope and helped me to the realization that I can take control of MY situation, and not just rely on secretive sleep docs and DME folks... I didn't know that laypeople could even get the ...
