Re: Why can I no longer get my numbers?

Dont know if this is the problem or not but I was messing around looking at my settings and there was a place to change the readings to either daily weekly monthly every 6 months or yearly. Maybe that got somehow reset on yours????

Re: Really confused now!!!

Wow you guys were talking about tongues being overly large associated with hypothyroidism and you will never guess what the ENT said to me today when I went in about my sinus problems..... He said my tongue is way bigger than it should be. He also was quite concerned about the last thyroid tests I h...

Re: Escape vs Elite II

It is all very overwhelming but I know one thing for sure. The difference between the Escape and the Elite II is night and day. I got my Elite by going somewhere else because the DME INSISTED there was no difference and I like it a whole lot better than the Escape. Even the exhalation relief is bett...

Re: Really confused now!!!

My thyroid has been off kilter for a couple years now. The Drs lowered my med twice and then had to raise it three times. Not sure what is going on with that.... HOpefully it will settle down soon. This kind of fatigue is not fun as you all well know.

Re: Really confused now!!!

Thank you all for the input. I was so confused after I left that Doctors office. I kept thinking all the problems I had with the machine and getting used to it and trying to wear it every night were for naught. That is interesting that thyroid is tied in with sleep apnea. Wonder if I will ever know ...

New machine. Have some numbers...

Finally got my new machine upgraded from the Resmed Escape to the Resmed Elite II. I like it much better. Seems to go with my breathing a lot better than the other one did. The one one didnt give the exhalation relief at the right times. Anyway trying to get brave and look up some stuff on it and fo...

Re: Yet Another DME struggle

OMG I have gone through the same thing. Except my ex DME brought me the same machine after she told me she was bringing the correct one. I took mine back and told them I found somewhere else that had the one I wanted. *blink* I felt like I was losing my mind with all this but it wasn't me after. Ann...
