Sleeptrader.com

I just stumbled upon this site as well. I was very excited about cpapauction and then it vaporized, Yahoo Auctions who allowed CPAP has vaporized.. Looks like this has popped up to fill the void.

[quote]I'm no expert on Respironics machines, but that pulsing like a machine gun doesn't sound normal to me. If your machine is the Auto, I don't think it will flip IPAP with EPAP when it sees a central event like a ST machine would do. The Auto Bipap would just log that Central as a NRAH event. If...

Snoredoog, Since you seem to have all the inside info on how the Respironics Autos work, can you explain to me the following event? I woke to the machine pulsing me like a machine gun with very high pressure bursts. I have OSA and CSA so I am curious if the machine's algorithm was simply trying to c...

[quote="rooster"] Thank you CheezWiz. I also have doubts about that assumption. I don't burp easily, which in my mind is an indication that LES is sealing the stomach from sending acid to the esophagus. All of the entrapped air is expelled through the rectum. When I lie on my back it seems as if non...

Re: False diagnosis

My question is, can someone be mis-diagnosed with sleep apnea? My theory is, the false diagnosis is, because I consistently swallow and the swallowing during the sleep study seems as an obstruction causing a misinterpretation. Can this happen? Considering the number of probes and monitors I had on ...

I would contact Resmed directly and inform them that your DME is refusing to service the recall. Then I would report the incident to the proper regulatory authorities.

I have never had any symptoms of gerd. If your LES is healthy and sealing, you shouldn't have problems with aerophagia especially at your pressure. Hey don't take my word for it, google it up for yourself. I disagree with this assumption. I have been scoped every way possible. I have no erosion, I ...

WOW!

I just got mine delivered on Monday.

If they did force them to pull it, then you can bet it will be on BitTorrent before long . All they are doing is punishing those who wish to be honest and creating software pirates.
